!!Xenoplague
Centuries ago, an expedition discovered an alien creature that came to be known as the Alpha Strain. It was a parasite capable of incorporating the [=DNA=] of its host into its own body, collecting traits from thousands of species over its life time. The Star Union used it both to improve the physiology of their elite soldiers and to infect enemies with horrifying mutations.
The bio weapon they designed was highly aggressive. The parasite injected cells into hosts that consumed the biomatter around them with using a corrosive bile. This process resulted in an exponentially-growing force of nightmarish monsters named the Xenoplague. After Xenoplague outbreaks turned some planets into throbbing bio-hells, further development was forbidden.

!!Celestean
The Celestean Order was founded a long time ago when Psionic abilities first started to awaken in the human race. They believed this was a new stage of evolution, and advocated a path of inner peace and enlightenment.
----
* {{Expy}}: Of both [[StarWars the Jedi]] and the Theocrat class from Age of Wonders III.
* {{HolyHandGrenade}}: Their combat mechanics revolve around this.
* LightIsGood: Pretty much every Celestean encountered in the campaign is at least a somewhat decent person.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Promethean]]
!!Promethean
The Star Union deployed the Promethean Division to cleanse worlds of empire-destabilizing threats. Its PyrX gas was originally developed to immolate areas infested with Xenoplague, but it was rumored the tech was also used to quieten dissenting worlds. Once a planet had been cleansed, the Prometheans would send engineers and colonists to rapidly recolonize the ruins. The Promethean emblem instilled fear in all who saw it.
----
* ApocalypseHow: Their doomsday device is a Class 6.
* DestructiveSavior: When they were deployed against the Xenoplague.
* FireBreathingWeapon: Pretty much every Promethean unit is equipped with some kind of flamethrower.
* FirePurifies: Much of their symbolism revolves around this concept.
* KillItWithFire: What the Promethean Division was created to do.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Psynumbra]]
!!Psynumbra
The Psynumbra was a counter-psionics project tasked with stemming the rise of psionics among the population and fighting Outlander psi-agents. Invoking negative emotions allowed them to suppress and dominate their subjects. The project was shut down when Psynumbra leaders began using psionic powers for their own dark agendas, drawing on power from beyond the void.
----
* BlackCloak: Malictors wear one.
* DarkIsEvil: Almost all the Psynumbra encountered in the campaign are uniformly terrible people, and the flavor text doesn't help.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[StarWars the Sith]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Synthesis]]
!!Synthesis
Synthesis was developed by the Omega group, a dark subculture of hackers within the Spacer faction of the Star Union. The group rebelled against [=CORE=]'s oppression by hacking into the [=NexusNet=] and turning its systems against [=CORE=] and the Star Union. They developed technology to manipulate the [=AIs=] within [=NexusNet=], going as far as transferring their own consciousnesses into the network, merging with the [=AI=].
----
* HollywoodHacking: Their specialty.
* MachineEmpathy: According to flavor text, Synthesis hackers treat daemons a lot like virtual pets.
* NeuralImplanting: Most of their operations only work on infantry units if they've had the right implants to integrate them into the network.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Voidtech]]
!!Voidtech
Voidtech was developed by a covert division of the Star Union's main science institute. It was created in order to find new applications for Void Travel hyperspace technology. Dimensional Manipulation was used to successfully transmit matter and energy, leading to the construction of cataclysmically powerful weapons.
----
* DoppelgangerAttack: Echo Walkers do this using [[AlternateSelf versions of themselves pulled from alternate universes]].
* SpaceMaster: Their main underlying theme.
* {{Intangibility}}: Voidtech can be used to walk through walls - or to create ''bullets'' that can pass through walls.
* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: The cover mechanic is really more of an optional suggestion for them.
* {{Teleportation}}: One of the more mundane effects.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Xenoplague]]
!!Xenoplague
Centuries ago, an expedition discovered an alien creature that came to be known as the Alpha Strain. It was a parasite capable of incorporating the [=DNA=] of its host into its own body, collecting traits from thousands of species over its life time. The Star Union used it both to improve the physiology of their elite soldiers and to infect enemies with horrifying mutations.
The bio weapon they designed was highly aggressive. The parasite injected cells into hosts that consumed the biomatter around them with using a corrosive bile. This process resulted in an exponentially-growing force of nightmarish monsters named the Xenoplague. After Xenoplague outbreaks turned some planets into throbbing bio-hells, further development was forbidden.
----
* TheAssimilator: The Alpha Strain, the basis of the Xenoplague, has this ability.
* GodzillaThreshold: In the age of the Star Union, once the Xenoplague got a foothold on a world, ''everything'' was on the table to get rid of it.
* GoneHorriblyRight: The Star Union wanted an unstoppable bioweapon. They got one.
* HordeOfAlienLocusts: What a rogue Xenoplague infection winds up looking like.
* TheSymbiote: The basis of the Xenoplague is the Alpha Strain parasite.
* UnstableGeneticCode: Xenoplague units adapt, change, and evolve with every enemy they consume.

[[folder:Autonom]]
!!The Autonom
The robots providing emergency services within the Empire were run by the Conscientious Omnipresent Regency Engine ([=CORE=]), but when it faltered during the Collapse, they relied on internal backup processors. In the centuries since then, these robots have linked up and developed into a new collective of sentient beings. They call themselves the Autonom.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Growth]]
!!The Growth
After being discovered on a distant world, the Growth was cultivated for its stimulating nectar by pharmaceutical companies. Unable to synthesize the drug, biodomes were built to produce nectar in large quantiles. After the Collapse, the Growth broke free overgrowing entire sectors for its goal to expand its biodiversity and spread to new worlds.

[[folder:Paragon]]
!!The Paragon
The Paragon were once the elite citizens of the Star Union. After the Collapse, all interstellar trade and communications ended, leaving the surviving citizens marooned on their worlds. The upper class Paragons, named after the company that provided their cybernetics, fell from boundless hedonism to a state of survival. As they could no longer connect with [=CORE=], their disconnected augmentations that gave them eternal youth and superhuman abilities began to falter. Many Paragon fell into madness and decay.
----
* TheRemnant: They're the closest thing left to the Star Union, at least in their own minds.
* TechnicallyLivingZombie: Imperial Soldiers and Imperial Guards have similar cybernetics to the true Paragon, but they weren't ''quite'' as good, leading to them looking like walking corpses mostly puppeteered by their augments.

[[folder:Psi-Fish]]
!!The Psi-Fish
It is believed that the Psi-Fish originate from the Void, the space between the planes of existence. Their primary goal is the creation of more Psi-Fish. After the Collapse they preyed on the vulnerable survivors of the Star Union, wiping out entire settlements to grow their Shoal - the Psi-Fish race as a whole. They are curious creatures and seekers of knowledge, for as alien as they are to mankind, this universe is entirely alien to them as well.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Spacers]]
!!The Spacers
After the Collapse brought the population violently back to reality, they were left to survive in a devastated and lawless universe. The strongest, craziest, and most ruthless survivors formed violent gangs. They fill their days with raiding, cannibalism, debauchery, and perverse rituals as a poor replacement for the state of bliss the Union once provided.

They built vast processing complexes to tear nature apart and exploit every resource they could get their hands on.

* SplashDamage: The Dvar have a ''lot'' of explosive weapons, [[FriendlyFireproof and can avoid harming allies caught in the blast radius]].

[[folder:Kir’Ko]]
->The Vanguard originate from the expeditionary forces sent to claim new worlds beyond the Star Union Frontier. Upon arrival, they awake from cryosleep to discover that a galactic cataclysm has taken place and the Star Union has collapsed. They must now utilize all combat and survival skills to reestablish the Star Union.
--
* LongRangeFighter: The majority of their units are ranged specialists, striking from afar with guns or laser weapons but struggling in close quarters.

[[folder:Kir’Ko]]
->The collapse of the union broke the chains of the Kir’Ko and these former slaves now swarm free. Destroying their way of life and shattering their hive mind did not break their will. Once the Star Union fell, the Kir’Ko quickly rose to power on several worlds due to hyper evolution and pillaging the technology of their fallen masters.
--
* InsectoidAliens: Unlike every other faction, which is a kind of TranshumanAlien or just plain human, the Kir'ko are distinctly non-human. Many of their castes aren't even human''oid'', though the Swarm Herald and a number of others (especially those using human Secret Technology equipment) necessarily are.

[[folder:Syndicate]]
->The Syndicate began as a group of ruthless trading Houses, who in their prime controlled entire star systems, commanded massive armies and held a monopoly on the trade of valuable goods. Now with interstellar travel moving again, the Syndicate consider the galaxy “open for business.”
--
* ProudMerchantRaceGuy: Of the scheming, slaving, corrupt variety... usually. There's a few nice-ish ones (like House Antares) mixed in, but their play style necessitates at least a little abuse of their Indentured soldiers.
