	*'''The Yin Brotherhood''': Fanatically religious male human clones specializing in gene-technology (due to suffering from deadly space leprosy) and jihad. Strangely plays sort of defensibly since most of their abilities are based around punishing enemies attacking you by sacrificing their own stuff. Their flagship's a fucking freight-ship filled with nukes, piss and pamphlets about next week's church services.		*'''The Yin Brotherhood''': Fanatically religious male human clones specializing in gene-technology (due to suffering from deadly space leprosy) and jihad.

	*'''The Clan of Saar''': Nomadic badger-people (think Rocket Raccoon) who were hated by everybody [[/pol/\|due to racism]]. Basically laughingstock of all races until they all felt a massive urge to settle an asteroid that their greatest hero discovered (suspected to be the remnants of their homeworld). Can move their Space Docks around and hide them in Asteroid Fields. All the other players will also hate you because you can move through their systems and scavenge their stuff.		*'''The Clan of Saar''': Nomadic badger-people (think Rocket Raccoon) who were hated by everybody [[/pol/\|due to racism]].

	*'''The Winnu''': Vassal humanoid race that once served as butlers and servants for the old Lazax leaders of the galaxy, now believe the rule of the galaxy is theirs. Fucking loved the Lazax Throneworld of Mecatol Rex so much they would stick themselves into the irradiated crust of it. Half of them remained on the capital planet as custodians and historians while the other half on their homeworld decided to try to reclaim the throne in the absence of the Emperor (“Who else preserved the Emperor’s civilization if not us?”). Super-predictable but can be very strong for it if they have a friend on their side that doesn't want Rex. So, yeah, they're screwed.		*'''The Winnu/Winnarians''': Vassal humanoid race that once served as butlers and servants for the old Lazax leaders of the galaxy, now believe the rule of the galaxy is theirs.

	*'''The Sardakk N'orr''': Huge bug-people with a warrior culture. Can become fucking nightmarish in combat by stacking buffs like madmen; sometimes more than need be. Can be surprisingly difficult to play due to their aggressive nature. A common trick is to play like an "attack dog" that other players depend on to attack for them, and then turn around to show them why you shouldn't feed rabid dogs.		*'''The Sardakk N'orr''': Huge bug-people with a warrior culture.

	*'''The Mentak Coalition''': [[Awesome\|FUCKING PIRATES FROM SPACE AUSTRALIA]] that descended from convicts who started a revolution. They raid players besides them and take Trade Goods from people every turn, so they don't make good border-friends - but as an ally on the other side of the galaxy, they can become pretty nice as your mercenary attack team. One of their Techs makes all resources count double for them which one can imagine... Is pretty dang-gosh good.		*'''The Mentak Coalition''': [[Awesome\|FUCKING PIRATES FROM SPACE AUSTRALIA]] that descended from convicts who started a revolution.

	*'''The Embers of Muaat''': Flame-people that move around in mobile sarcophagi who were once slaves to the Jol-Nar. Starts with a goddamn War Sun. That's it pretty much - Everybody are afraid of your Sun, but its slow as molasses and doesn't do well as an assault weapon the way the fully upgraded one does, so it's mostly a kill-sat pointing at yourself so no-one attacks you. Don't let the over-excitable player pilot them or you'll get a War Sun crammed down your throat on turn 2.		*'''The Embers of Muaat''': Flame-people called the Gashlai that move around in mobile sarcophagi who were once slaves to the Jol-Nar.

	*'''The Xxcha Kingdom''': Weed-smoking diplomat turtles. Rules the diplomacy game and can overtake planets for free without attacking them. Loves playing a defensive game with a small, difficult-to-attack empire with their flagship in the middle. But don't think of them as pacifists; they can enforce their peaceful rule with some laser cannons when need be.		*'''The Xxcha Kingdom''': Weed-smoking diplomat turtles.

	*'''The Naalu Collective''': Smexy snake women with psychic abilities. The Space Fighter faction, and since Fighters tend to be largely defensive in this game, they tend to play defensively as well. Gets to always go first so can be quite the pickled 'gerkin on the planning and scheming front. If someone picks Naalu, Destroyers suddenly become relevant. Along with the Universities, these guys tend to be the "kill them early to keep them from coasting to an easy win" faction.		*'''The Naalu Collective''': Smexy snake women with psychic abilities.

They were too busy fighting amongst themselves until the Lazax defeated them, drove them back to their home planet of Ixth far from the galaxy, and then sealed the gateway on Acheron. Millions of years later, an exploratory expedition from Creuss with observers from all parties discovered their homeworld and woke them up (only to be psychically enslaved with only one ship making it out to report the calamity).

In gratitude, they swore to seclude themselves and guard the frontier near Acheron from the Mahact's theoretical return. They have the ability to vote an extra time during agenda phases for zeal and have buffed up anti-aicraft capabilities while capable of denying starship access to systems containing their structures.		*'''The Argent Flight''': humanoid warrior monks birds called the Shikrai, these guys used to be slaves of the Mahact until they were liberated by the Lazas.

They're hellbent on preventing a catastrophe even worse than the Twilight Wars three millenia ago. Their ships are unaffected by nebula, can grant passage through activated systems, and have special buffs on trading and voting for allies.		*'''The Empyrean''': a faceless bat-like species who live in space, they've been around since the dawn of time and have observed every galactic species since they learned spaceflight.

	*'''The Nomad''': a mysterious syndicate with fingers in every pie, the Nomad is an cloaked individual or species with vested interest in finding out what the Mahact unleashed when they tore a hole in the fabric of the multiverse and ~~enabed~~ literal demons a foothold into realspace (while having mercenaries and cash to spare).

	*'''The Titans of Ul''': gigantic golems IN SPACE! They were once a race of ~~complacant~~ laborers created by the Mahact. When the Mahact were driven into exile, they put the Titans to sleep below the surface of planets in preparation for their return. When they were woken up, they had developed their own sapient minds and converged to form their own civilization focused on peaceful terraforming of other worlds and finding others of their kind on other planets. They can place sleeper agents on othe worlds to awaken and can buff up the resource values of any planet they wish.		*'''The Titans of Ul''': gigantic golems IN SPACE!

	*'''The Vuil'Raith Cabal''': literal interdimensional demons. These ~~monstrocities~~ were brought into the universe from another realm when the Mahact hypercharged the warp gate on Acheron to send it to the center of the galaxy. They're just as prone to infighting and usage of underground cults as daemons in Warhammer 40k. They can subvert and claim other units or structures captured in battle and can convert them for units or technology instead of using resources.		*'''The Vuil'Raith Cabal''': literal interdimensional demons.

 *'''The Arborec''': A plant hive mind. Makes the plant-manz from placing fungus in dead corpses’ brains (a la zombie style) and their plant-manz can produce other things as well. They expand slowly at first but can roll quickly if not kept in check, but tend to play their own game for the most part because of how much planning their military moves needs. Very steady players, can make awesome allies. Make sure they understand that one dude can only produce one thing, so they won't get eight GFs out of a single one.
 *'''The Nekro Virus''': ... And then there's this asshole. Accidentally created by the L1Z1X before it decided it hated all living things, it chased them back to the old Imperial territory. Take equal parts [[Bioware|Reapers]], [[Necrons]] and the Terminator’s Skynet, and you get the Nekro Virus. They can only really advance by attacking other players, and they can't be in the law-making game either. When they are a part of the game, they end up becoming the villains of the game more often than not, [[Skub|something not all players like]]. Keep them the fuck away from the Arborec.
