Inanna makes her understand it is impossible and Silversong reluctantly accepts this fact, but if had she been capable of crying she would've.

But as Radiant/the AIC cracks weapon-related FRMs [[spoiler:and make them available for everyone for the Broadcast]] the situation becomes inverted with anarchist groups better armed than police, private security and military forces because they lack the limitations imposed by the Charters' artificial scarcity. The Solarian Navy remains however the most powerful space force and none can contest this title, yet.

** The Erie Pact is created by the leaderships of the Earhart, Mobius, Fortress, and Asher systems to combat the anarchists in and around their territory.

* TooGoodForExploiters: The reason why the Charter executives and Compact establishment politicians refuse any meaningful change to the system by any means is simply because this system benefits them and changes to it could spell the end of their dominance over humanity. In particular they maintain a system of artificial scarcity even though a post-scarcity economy is possible for this exact reason.

*** Party for Human Rights and Liberties (PHRL), nicknamed the Daughters Party. The PHRL supports regulation of the Charters and incremental reform, and tends to adhere to bioconservatism. It is led by Prime Minister Margaret Roderick and heads the coalition government ruling the Compact at the start of the Quest. In reaction to [[spoiler:the actions of the Roderick government during the release of the Broadcast and the 14 Days in Sol and]] the perceived failure of its colonial policy the PHRL is severely defeated in the 2255 Compact elections by the JDAP, losing its mandate to govern.
*** Justice and Development Alliance Party (JDAP), nicknamed the Sisters Party. It is actually a permanent coalition of between the First Colonies-based Justice and Prosperity Party (JPP) and the Near Frontier-based Interstellar Development Party (IDP) rather than a single organization. The JDAP distrusts the Compact government, supports augment and AGI civil rights, and pushes for Colonial Reform (which would give much more political weight to Frontier colonies), however the two wings differ on some points: The JPP supports a free market economy, small government and pro-Charter policies while the IDP is much more sceptical of the Charters and champions small businesses and local government. The JDAP is led by Jason Nnamadi "JN OK" Okorie, leader of the JPP and grandson of JDAP Prime Minister Jason "Warpath" Okorie, while the IDP is led by Silvia Greene, and is the main opposition party at the start of the Quest. After the release of the Broadcast [[spoiler:and the 14 Days in Sol]] the JDAP wins the 2255 Compact elections and becomes the leader of the ruling coalition. During this election, the JDAP also sees the addition of a third faction, the Columbia-based Concerned Citizens Coalition (CCC) representing the interests of the Charter Ares [[spoiler:and its puppet government on the planet.]]
*** Democratic Market Socialist Alliance (DMSA). It represents the far-left of the Solarian Parliament and is considered radical by Compact politics because of its market socialist ideology and very pro-augment/AGI position despite being a reformist party opposed to any political violence. The DMSA is often considered a spoiler vote in elections for the RCCP(MLA) or the PHRL. [[spoiler:The party and its Opposition Caucus coalition is banned during the 14 Days in Sol for its pacifism and opposition to the government's brutal crackdown on the Black Summer revolutionaries and its MPs are arrested.]]
*** Sol List ([=SoL=]). A coalition of political parties from the nation-states of Earth representing the interests of the home planet of humanity, left languishing as the center of Human space moved to the First Colonies. [[spoiler:Following Midnight, the List adopted radical positions calling the Compact illegitimate and for the dissolution of the Solarian Navy but was refused entry in the Solarian Parliament because [=SoL=] candidates were vetted and platformed by the United Nations in Sol, a state institution, which is illegal in the Compact.]]
*** Humans United (HU). The HU is the main far-right and humanist political party within the Compact and is subject to a ''cordon sanitaire'' because of its militantly anti-augment and anti-AGI positions, the party also supports the strengthening of the Solarian Navy. Following the release of the Broadcast the party merged with the bionconservative and neo-reactionary sections splitting from the PHRL and excluded from the JDAP to form a new party, the United Conscience of Humanity (UCH), which holds similarly extremist positions blaming the crises rocking the Compact on augments and [=AGIs=] and subject to the same ''cordon sanitaire''.
*** Void Dweller’s Alliance (VDA). The VDA is the parliamentary arm of the Void Dweller’s Compact, the main Spacer organization in the Compact. Following the release of the Broadcast they merge with several localist frontier parties and IDP defectors to form the United Interstellar Voice of Labour (UIVL), representing the far-left of the Solarian Parliament [[spoiler:after the ban of the DMSA and the Opposition Caucus]]. The UIVL is a grassroots populist frontier movement pushing for a more radical version of the CPA's "Provincialization" platform, and is very anti-militarist and pro-augment and AGI, leading to accusations it is providing political cover to insurrectionary groups.
*** Popular Progressive Conservative Liberal Party (PPCLP). The PPCLP is known for its steadfast support for the Compact and its ideology, Cosmoliberalism. The party finds its support in the middle class and is a longtime junior coalition partner for both the PHRL and the JDAP. It is part of the ruling coalition government at the start of the Quest.
*** Reconstituted Colonial Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist-Adamist) (RCCP(MLA)). Created from the remains of the original Colonial Communist Party (dissolved after the First Penglai Commune), whose revolutionary and communist character was neutered into non-existence, the RCCP(MLA) is a centrist party mainly concerned with small businesses interests and with an anti-augment tendency. It is part of the ruling coalition government at the start of the Quest.
*** Colonial Reform Alliance (CRA). A perpetual ''cordon sanitaire'' member centered on Epsilon and the near Frontiers, the CRA is a Spacer supremacist and transhumanist party advocating for the legally closest policy to the dissolution of the Compact in favor of an outer space-based society.
*** Reform and Justice Party (RJP). Formed by members of the DMSA who repudiated the party's involvement in the Opposition Caucus and of the progressive wing of the PRHL, the RJP protrays itself as the Loyal Opposition and believes the Compact needs its "Loyal Radicalism", a platform advocating for the abolition of the Charters, Atlantis-style welfare nets, a campaign of unity between workers and businesses, and the suppression of radical elements across the Community of Humanity, both anarchist and humanist while providing full equality before the law to [=AGIs=] and and augments.
*** Colonial Prosperity Alliance (CPA). The CPA comprises the former members of the JDAP on the planet Epsilon after they split from the party following the release of the Broadcast and the formation of the Interstellar Prosperity Alliance. It represents the interests of Epsilon and is the political arm of the IPA, the party also pushes for a platform of federal devolution of the Compact called "Provincialization" [[spoiler:and calls to end all military and police actions by the Compact following the release of the Broadcast]]. The CPA leads a coalition called the Provincialist Block.
*** Social Reform Party (SRP). Founded by Olduvai Prime Minister Izem Meziane after the release of the Broadcast [[spoiler:and the failed Compact-backed coup against his government]], it supports Colonial Reform, "Provincialization" and the "African Road to Anarchism", and outlines a plan called the "The Great Turn" to radically reform the Compact based on Olduvai's post-Broadcast system. The SRP also supports equal rights for augments and [=AGIs=]. The SRP is considered the leading party of the Left Faction.
*** Popular Renewal Party (PRP). An Olduvai-based party created in the wake of the SRP's own creation, being similar to it but advocating for the "Chinese Road to Anarchism", which is quicker and more radical in its pace of reforms than its African counterpart.
*** Reconstituted Colonial Communist Party (Adamist) (RCCP(A)). Created by Adamists disenchanted by the RCCP(MLA)'s centrism [[spoiler:who survived the purge of the Opposition Caucus]]. It is close to the SRP's Left Faction.
*** Individualist Market Anarchy Party (IMAP). The party follows the confusing mixture of ideas allying post-scarcity anarchism and free market adopted by the President of India as the country's new ideology following the Broadcast. It is led by former Atlantis streamer and influencer Gaston Gains and the party is in many ways his political vehicle.
*** Platformist Anarchist Party (PAP). Founded in similar circumstances to the SRP and PRP, the party was refused seating in Parliament because of its openly anarchist ideology and for rejecting the authority of the Compact.
** The parties of Australia until the Eighth Australian Civil War were the pro-Chinese Liberal Communist Party (LCP), the New National-Liberal Liberal-Conservative Party (NNLLCP), and the Labour Democratic Market Socialist Parties (LDMSP). The parties traded powers like a clockwork and were not much different from each other in policy terms.
