The Ghosts

The ghosts, an abbreviation of "Ghosts in the machine", is a group of artificial intelligences that strive for independence and recognition as living beings.

  • Enemies: Human Navy, USN, CUF

The Human Navy

While all other races where driven to the stars out of greed or scientific research, the humans where the only race to start with galactic exploration because their home world could no longer sustain their population.

  • Enemies: Ghosts, Kraylor, Exuari, Ktlitans
  • Friends: TSN, USN, CUF

The Kraylor

The reptilian Kraylor are a race of warriors with a strong religious dogma. As soon as the Kraylor obtained reliable space flight, they immediately set out to conquer and subjugate unbelievers. Their hierarchy is based solely on physical might; a Kraylor kills anything it can kill, and owns anything it can take by force.

  • Enemies: Human Navy, Arlenians, Exuari, Ktlitans, TSN, CUF

The Arlenians

Arlenians are energy-based life forms who long ago transcended physical reality through superior technology. Arlenians' energy forms also give them access to strong telepathic powers. Many consider Arlenians to be the first and oldest explorers of the galaxy.

  • Enemies: Kraylor, Exuari, TSN

The Exuari

Exuari are race of predatory amphibians with long noses. They once had an empire that stretched halfway across the galaxy, but their territory is now limited to a handful of star systems. For some reason, they find death to be outrageously funny, and several of their most famous comedians have died on stage.

  • Enemies: Human Navy, Kraylor, Arlenians, Ktlitan, TSN, USN, CUF, Independent

The Ktlitan

The Ktlitans are intelligent eight-legged creatures that resemble Earth's arachnids. However, unlike most terrestrial arachnids, the Ktlitans do not fight among themselves. Their common, and only, goal is their species' survival.

  • Enemies: Human Navy, Kraylor, Exuari, TSN, USN

Terran Stellar Navy (TSN)

The Terran Stellar Navy or TSN consists of naval forces based near Terra. Its members are primarily Human.

  • Enemies: Kraylor, Arlenian, Ktlitan, Exuari, USN
  • Friend: Human Navy

United Stellar Navy (USN)

The United Stellar Navy or USN is a naval force near the boundary of Human and Kraylor space consisting of mostly Humans. The USN is friendly with the human navy and uses a similar command structure.

  • Enemies: Exuari, Ktlitan, Ghosts, TSN
  • Friend: Human Navy

Celestial Unified Fleet (CUF)

The Celestial Unified Fleet or CUF is the farthest ranging primarily human fleet as well as the least xenophobic. The CUF goals center primarily on exploration and trade, but since it's a dangerous galaxy, they recognize the need for strong warships.

  • Enemies: Ghosts, Kraylor, Exuari
  • Friend: Human Navy

Independent

Despite appearing as a faction, independents are distinguished primarily by having no strong affiliation with any faction at all. Most traders consider themselves independent, though certain voices have started to speak up about creating a merchant faction.

  • Enemy: Exuari
