2
3	[[folder:The Administration Team]]
4	The Administration Team is the band of people drawn from the teeming masses of normal users who take time out of their lives to keep Discovery sane and civilized.
5
6	!!Igiss
7	!!! Alexander Zalessky
8
9	Igiss created Discovery Freelancer.
10
11	!! Tropes that could be used to describe him:
12
13	* NiceGuy: Both on forums and in real life.
14
15	!!Alley
16	!!! [[DarthWiki/IdiotProgramming Tech]] [[SugarWiki/GeniusProgramming Stuff]]
17
18	!! Alley's actions have earned her fame. But the tropes are:
19
20	* [[TheCracker Hackers]] will not be tolerated on her watch.
21	* HeroicNeutral: It is hard to rouse her from her slumber, but when you do, it's not pretty.
22	* TheRoleplayer
23	* TenMinuteRetirement: She does this every so often, but she's often back in short order, due to...
24	* VetinariJobSecurity: She's the very, very competent programmer on the team.
25
26	!!Sindroms
27	!!! Sometimes Always Events
28
29	!! spazzy go away
30
31	* TheFace: One of the more prolific admins.
32	* RetiredMonster: Only left the [[NoFairCheating DPC]] because he lacked the know-how to evade bans. Later made a HeelFaceTurn and is now an Administrator, with all the responsibilities that entails.
33	[[/folder]]
34
35	[[folder:The Angels]]
36	The Angels are a group of people who take time to help new players.
37
38	Tropes about the Angels that apply across all of them are:
39
40	* TheFagin: [[AvertedTrope Any Angel doing this may as well turn in their wings.]]
41	* GoodSamaritan: The Angels will help anyone with anything to the best of their ability.
42
43
44	[[/folder]]
45
46	[[folder:Nomads]]
47	The Nomads, including the Slomon K'Hara, the Nomad Vagrants, and The Wild are very much like the ones in [[Videogame/{{Freelancer}} vanilla]], but with actual characterization between the OmnicidalManiac treatment they were given.
48
49	General Tropes:
50
51	* ApocalypseHow: [[ApocalypseHow/Class6 A class 6 is pulled on Planet Toledo.]] [[spoiler: But The Order deserved it.]]
52	* BenevolentPrecursors: In a twist, their creators were this for them. Humanity is trespassing on their birthright.
53	* DeathIsCheap: If you destroy one's body, they just have another one re-grown. The process takes at least two hours, though.
54	* EldritchAbomination: They're a telepathic, translucent, space-dwelling HiveMind with a side of TimeAbyss. [[SubvertedTrope Ultimately subverted]] because they were deliberately engineered by SufficientlyAdvancedAliens.
55	* HiveMind: A surprisingly downplayed example. The Nomads give general goals and their individual units are free to fulfill them as they see fit. Imagine [[Literature/{{Animorphs}} the Yeerks]] [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meeting]] [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 genestealers]].
56	* PlayingBothSides: Due to their running a grand total of three systems uncontested, they have no choice but to subvert the pesky humans to keep from facing a unified front.
57	* PuppeteerParasite: They still possess people.
58	* PurpleIsPowerful: They have access to toys literally millions of years more advanced than the best humanity has to offer.
59	* ResurrectiveImmortality
60	* ParanoiaFuel: Due to the K'Hara having a functionally unlimited cloak, every ship not within docking distance of a station with adequate defenses to ward off the Nomads will be feeling this.
61	* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [[TerroristsWithoutACause The Order]] seems to take this attitude towards the Nomads despite The Core's better-funded and equipped campaign to the same ends.
62	* TimeAbyss: 65 million years is something of a long time.
63
64	[[/folder]]
65
66	[[folder: The Oracles]]
67	The Oracles are [[HalfHumanHybrid human-Nomad hybrids]], representing a "middle ground" humanity and the Nomads. However, they are loyal to the Nomads first and foremost.
68	[[/folder]]
69
70	[[folder:The Core]]
71	The Core is the best faction in Discovery hands-down.
72
73	!!Tropes related to The Core as a whole include:
74
75	* EvilVersusEvil: Considering that their opposition includes, but is not restricted to, [[SpacePirates pirates]], drug runners, [[WellIntentionedExtremist terrorists]], [[BlackComedy Zoners]], and [[OmnicidalManiac Nomads]], their casual oppression and PlayingWithSyringes tends to be glossed over.
76	* LawfulEvil: A core tenet of their philosophy.
77	* {{Pride}}: The Core perceives themselves to be the best around, and they won't let you forget that.
78	* PrivateMilitaryContractors: The Core started out as the elite core of one.
79	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Those living in House space consider them heroes.
80
81	!!Erik Nodtviet, [[TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard Exalted Guildmaster of The Core, CEO of AP Manufacturing]]
82	!!! [[http://discoverygc.com/forums/member.php?action=profile&uid=25789 Lythrilux]]
83	The big cheese of The Core. Has a trail of pissed-off [[http://discoverygc.com/forums/member.php?action=profile&uid=32246 ex-girlfriends.]]
84
85	!!! It could be said of this amazing man that he:
86
87	* BusCrash: [[TheHeroDies Dies offscreen after a long absence.]]
88
89	----
90	!!Ruby Hydra (Guildkeeper)
91	!!! [[http://discoverygc.com/forums/member.php?action=profile&uid=28560 Chuba]]
92	She be crazy.
93
94	!!! No, Chuba. Bad Signature.
95
96	* TheSociopath: If her actions are anything to go by.
97	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: After Chuba got banned, she was placed in intensive care on Durban Station for an indefinite period of time.
