FactionName: Arcandia
History: Seeing life on Earth decay, the first Arcandians fled on board a corporate sponsored craft. They feigned it's destruction in order to be left alone when they found a habitable world. They were finally found and have now been cast back into the galaxy and its chaos.
Political Organization: Democratic Republic 
Technology: slightly ahead of other humans in industrial and weaponry, slightly behind in communication and travel
Systems Controlled: Arcandia: a star the size of the sun, orbited by four planets. Three are unihabitable, but the third from the star is the capital of the Arcandian civilization. The second is occasionally visited by miners for it's vast supply of high grade ore.
Relations: Nationalistic to a fault, relations between Arcandia and the United Front are strained, to say the least
Other: Arcandians are among the most pragmatic people in the galaxy. Their independence is what they value most, and will defend with their lives.
