	It was the late 21st century when Earth was getting absolutely fucked six ways from Sunday. Figurative plagues of the social and economic variety, LITERAL plagues of war, famine, and needless movie sequels. Basically everything that could've went wrong most likely did. But before that Earth had colonized all the planets in the solar system, leaving said colonies high, dry, and without contact till 2184. From the ashes of the Earth rose the '''C'''entral '''E'''arth '''G'''overnment and '''A'''dministration (CEGA)(…no, not [[Sonic the Hedgehog\|THAT]] CEGA), a monolithic bureaucracy masquerading as a government that holds that as a cradle of mankind, Earth is naturally the leader of the Solar System . Equally naturally, pretty much every other colony didn't see it this way and rebelled. CEGA branded these colonies rogues, intending to bring them to heel and using their resources to rebuild war-ravished Earth. Somewhat like the British Empire of the 1700 and 1800s, including absolutely astoundingly arrogant Admirals whose jingoism rivals only their ability to underestimate their opponents. Their exo-armour designs run towards ballistic throw-weights and blocky armour, with their spaceship architecture being similar in design.

	Former wage-slaves of Venus, Mercury basically unionized as a nation, and Venus has never forgiven them for it. For their part, Mercury does mining, power-generation, high-tech electronics and shipping. A lot of shipping. Like a lot. Because what they sell, everyone wants, they go everywhere in the solar system, so they're about as neutral as neutral can be. Even smaller of a population ~~that~~ Venus, they pack their people into a fraction of the space, leading to some rather Hive-like conditions and in consequence, some rather unique social pressure workarounds. One part Dwarf, one part socially-expected incel (having a closet that is just yours and yours alone to be alone in is considered a human right), Mercurians are known for being stupidly hard-working and VERY clannish. Most of their design focus is reusability and reliability. Their warships double as haulers. Their exo-armours and exo-suits double as cargo-movers and mining systems. Everything seems to be heat-proofed. Even the ice.		Former wage-slaves of Venus, Mercury basically unionized as a nation, and Venus has never forgiven them for it.

When they lost contact with Earth they quickly mastered space combat ~~when~~ everyone else in the solar system was going completely batshit insane. These people are your typical idealistic spacenoids, they believe to be fighting this war to free the solar system from the tyranny of Earth and Venus, no matter how many (other people's) lives must be sacrificed! The added fact that their leadership is a nobility known for their arrogant, ambitious and greedy nature should make anyone familiar with the source material '''VERY''' concerned. Somewhat a pastiche of 1900s to 2000s America, coupled with a lot of "We're the Good Guys" syndrome, this is the NobleBright faction (with the obligatory "Evil Ruling Subfaction"). Kicked the CEGA fleet's ass in a massive brawl just outside of the main habitat, however only a few people know how close it was of a thing. Their ship designs tends to be somewhat of a stacked-boxes concept, while their exo-designs are VERY Gundam, favouring energy weapons and laser swords. Yes, laser swords.

	The third of the most-powerful factions in space, Venus is the rich kid who is never actually caught breaking the rules, but is behind every damn bit of drama in the school. Originally founded by Terran corporations who could very blatantly see the writing on the wall for Earth and felt like relocating, Venus has turned been marginally terraformed, and is now SCIENCEHYPERCORPVILLE. Seriously. They're the New Rich of the solar system, they know it, and they plan on making sure everyone follows their lead eventually. However, they have one of the smaller populations in the solar system, so these guys are also the default "sneeki-breeki" faction, disguising their drive to rule to solar system behind being The Trendy People. They have all the newest, flashy stuff, and they let everyone know it. How? Advertising. Everywhere. Even their trade ships, which sport massive holoscreen systems to better advertise their wares. That those holoscreen systems can also be used as active camouflage or that their warships just happen to be built on the same shaped hullplan as their merchant fleet is a complete fabrication by their biggest trading rivals (and nearest neighbors), Mercury. Their design philosophy is summed up in two words: sneaky and techy. Cloaking ships and exo-armours, disguised warships, and so forth. Also ninjas. In tactical power armour. With swords. But are absolutely NOT ASIAN.
