There's been a growth of an attitude. I think. In society and it's reflected in the media. The idea of talking about ideas has changed. You see this strongly on the net and translated into real life for the worse. This art of simply sitting down and talking and digging people for thoughts is a fleeing art. Now it seems that in people, net and media conversations are all about joining in to get "the mic drop" 

The people who want to sit and talk facts, ideas and necessary feelings/philosophies/perspective are out there. The public sphere is just as staffed by angsty fucks who want that mic drop as the normal populaces now. This mentality always leans to the worse of biases. No wonder most people consider media especially no better than shit posting propaganda. 

It's been like this for a while now, but we're seeing it strongly being implemented in politics too because people who talk in a calm and civil manner-or even passionate one- get slammed by labels and bullrushed by the side who starts screaming over them first.

Faction Update

Terran Unity(Border Retention Branch): 
Officially the Terran Unity is the throne of all human authority and power, it solely has the right to declare war. Introduce mass, intergalactic regulation and employ united navies on in defense, although in practice the Terran Unity is simple another seat in a court of kings. In theory it is the most powerful when it comes to the SOL system. Despite Earth being ravaged by the theocratic war of 2120 it still houses an immense cultural importance. Mars is a dominated, third world slave hole with first world production.

It's planets however are small, many are dying, reached their expansive potential or not possible to land on and make use of. In essence, the Terran unity is using a treasure with no new income. Many of its ships while massive and capable of dealing with most known threats are reaching their age. As a result in the last 70 years mercenaries and recruited pirates have come an...unofficial practice. Although these inmates typically serve time and are heavily interviewed for this offer, many considering a privilege. 

Politically at risk of being eaten inside out and scramble by logistical issues of space travel to properly supply planets. The Border Retention Branch is the only thing they will see of the Terran Unity outside of some radio and TV news networks. The Branch normally have a small outposts at many sectors. Simply reinforcing big stations already owned by other communities at key areas.

The great army is so spread apart by its policing duties that it can only offer squads of 2-5 small ships and meager refugee defense in unlisted sectors...which are many. Listed sectors do receive a bit more protection but many cases take the brunt of many undesired regulations for it.

The opinion on the branch is in many places. It gets harassed and praised constantly. While acting official, the branch workers routinely hire mercenaries, bribe civilians and do many things against Terran standard due to the sheer level of attack they find themselves under and lack of proper supplies. The Branch however is nearly monstrous in the border areas, being worthy of full on scale multi-galatic navy war in these key lines.

Evolutionists:
With the line of genetics being almost mastered by mankind there are many who feel that to simply make mankind more refined and not overall more supreme over the universe is a waste of the tremendous technology that they have. Those who don't value the EPOCH, seeing him as the sign of petty minded fear and self preservation over the pursuit of overall ideals. Evolutionists range from many, existing as a total sector of politics with many different names. The overall attitude though is one of changing humanity from something not human at all or creating a new life form.

Many evolutionists are pirates, terrorists and renegades. Going against many laws and general beliefs of the public who settle for the compromise of the standard human refinement. While peaceful variations of this group exist, they have an extensive list of groups who actively aren't. Many creating viruses, plants, animals and even other sentient bio weapons for the purpose of infecting a planet and taking it over. Most of them, due to numbers being inhabited by humans. Stations and ships are also attacked, everything and everyone is a test of their latest creations or their own modifications mettle.

Evolutionists have extensive resources. Years of combat, media hunting, law enforcement scouting for them be they peaceful or violent have made them form vast networks of intelligence and methods of getting things done. Evolutionists have a dislike of the EPOCH specifically but dislike pure humans more.

Transhumanists:

The Transhumanists is the bulk of the cyborg community, while traditionally the title was all things that deviate from humans in the late 2040's the robotic and augmentation revolution across the world under the banner of transhumanists cemented the image and vision of such a party under the homo-mechanicus. Most transhumanists are augmented to a large degree, having a complex relationship with sentient machines who marginally desire to stay on their own world.

Cyborgs as a whole are accepted although stories still pass around colonies and isolated stations about metal men beaming aboard and taking their children. Their part in the first 2 human wars where the fate of mankind genetic future would be decided have stayed with them for their cruel nature and uncaring attitude. A time where human empathy and emotions were not properly understood by sentient machines and not properly expressed or "felt" in primitive cyborg bodies. The fact there are powerful, uncontrolled transhumanists worlds don't help this fear either.

People who are transhumanist try to promote alternatives to humanity, not wanting to stick to one specific label. They are more care free about what importance line purity have and lean towards individuals specialization and not collective uniform changes to genetics. Although this isn't true for all planets. Many believing that to reject transhumanism to create an inevitable conflict of organic and synthetic life forms.

The Triangle Society:

The Triangle Society is a in space continuation of the socialist(left wing party) hidden as an overall group of charities and relief programs designated to help people. It is true that such a groups does help people, sending delegates, forming unions, aiding groups with their own military of ships and people. But it's all headed with an overall anti-capitalists and stronger authority slant. Make no mistake,  they generally dislike the Terran Unity and when they say authority they mean one that leans their way.

The Triangle community is a volunteer organisations that is made up of many sects. Despite being what people would call left wing today, people of the EPOCH ERA don't view politics in a dichotomy of left and right anymore. Only hearing of this class of political labeling in history books. The Society has its claws in many worlds as a political powers, movements, charities and even on site militia. While political motivated many of its people have good intentions and do charity work as they are supposedly meant to do, unaware exactly how much they are simple solders for a cause. 

Not evil, but it hides it agenda on the top levels and falls into ideology on both high and low positions of management. This group wears a green body guard over itself for solders and a felt red uniform for navy and paper management. After the war on the Grave-world, the Triangle Society hates the population there and has generally lost a large amount of its political creditability but still is a functional power

The Intergalactic Market Movement:
If the Triangle Community is the ghost of the socialist left, roaming the stars then Intergalactic Market Movement is the wandering capitalistic counterpart to it. Naturally they are against one another in all things. The Triangle Society tries to constantly dirty the Market Movement as oppressive and slander it, under the guise of charities fighting against human right violations. The Market Movement however can be just as ideologically driven although, unlike the Triangle movement it's desire to set up mercantile roots everywhere tends to attract more pragmatic business men and wandering out of ship sellers than activists. 

On the surface, the Market Movement could seem more rational but in truth it is simply less passionate as a whole. Business is business and they have an entire market to open up between many sectors of many planets. They do fund their own army and navy power, which has been used in the past in the corner those who don't wish the join the overall trade market into a back breaking tariffs. Like the Triangle Society, the Market Movement left the Grave-world war just as sullied. 

Planets that have market protection and Triangle Society find themselves living in a proxy collaborative political system whom their own state no longer matters, it's all about which of the two of these powers get the upper hand. Made up of the same bickering they had on Earth.

Conservationists:
A general belief of people that genetic refining of humans takes away the ability to understand the human culture that got them to this technological point. Many feel that the threat of wars, powers and new states are a result of fracturing human identity. Especially with the destruction of Earth many generations ago and with a lot of the important cultural texts being lost they seek to preserve it by imitation, this isn't literal...some of the time. Seeking to live off the land and form, local, small communities by colonizing planets or by living in simple means on a station.

Some of the strongest Conservationists try to build up their own societies on old human cultures and new ideas or foundations. In rare cases you may find very tiny, almost mythical pockets of pure humans living together who rejected the line project and sought to retain their own isolated peace. Most of these places hide from the wider galaxy, to the point of imprisoning those who land as pseudo citizens so they can't inform anyone else.

Scribes: 

A small group of crippled religions that survived the Theocratic War on Earth. When humanity left their own home planet in mass in the pioneering era. Earth was the most holy place in the universe, as naturally all tales of all religious happenings occurred on it and not anywhere else. Lines were drawn by many religions on whom should be actually permitted to enter this planet, flamed by many none religious political and national issues with one another. A war...or crusade broke out on Earth, many of whom were strongly supported by many movements and ideas at the time that had nothing to do with religion.

45 years of this constant battle caused ripples across the galaxy, Earth was paradise and it had been destroyed. It's racial and religious anger had now spread out of sol, making stations get into civil wars who wanted certain faiths pushed out, even other skin colors in some case and lines. Earning the ire of many movements, transhumanists, planets and evolutionists a new crusade began on Earth. An atheist one that involved the near destruction of all known religion that lasted for 20 years.

In this period texts, history and many culturally important areas were glassed or burned. Resulting in thousands of years of religious texts to be lost. Some religions even becoming extinct. Until now, the hate from that frenzy still existed causing a small community to go into hiding in order to continue to survive.

The scribes seek old world artifacts and texts especially pertaining to theology of any kind. They regard pure humans as the last living remnants of Earth which was pulverized and destroyed outside of hubs of factories and cities. Slightly more accepted today, they have limited knowledge of their own religion compared to the 2000's.

Simple things like what group crucified Jesus. What were the names of the many christian/catholic splinters called. What were all the angles of gods roles and so on were lost. 

-Islam doesn't exist. It was destroyed. The east being the first orbital target for attack. This lead to Israel being destroyed too. Jews exist in very, very tiny numbers. Some escaping in space flight.

-Christianity exist but in a highly reduced form of itself. The same as Buddhism.

Shinto survived. As most religions that didn't have extremely strong or extensive structure to their religion such as druidism and paganism.

Prison Community(general slang): A colony of people who live in prison like conditions but exist officially as a free society. They may live in a village or big complex, but ultimately they all live in uniform prison like standards. They may all wear the same clothes and have wardens invading their privacy constantly. They will have scheduled food and scheduled labor. Prison communities normally but their colonies but do attract strong authoritarian movements too. 

They exist more as baron like institutes although each community is unique and may have pragmatic, greedy, individual, health or ideological reasons for this society path.

Mercenaries: This is pretty self explanatory. As are pirates. I'll add these later on in the ooc as smaller factions.

((I'm gonna some...motherfucking. more factions and shooters and shit. But right now I got mad lethargy and sweating more than a virgin at prom. 

To come: The Coalition (aliens)

Grave Worlders (The Victims of a reignited ideological war)

Peoples Dominion.
