Aces of Space

In the TRIANGULUM GALAXY,
A distant humanity wages war,
With giants of steel and fire.
First among them and without equal,
Are those who fly the deepest sky,
In the shapes of birds.

Polities:

Triangulum Galactic Empire: The dominant power in the Triangulum Galaxy; once known as the Triangulum Galactic Federation, an upstart nation which discovered and monopolized the remains of ancient overtechnology and established the international system. Two centuries ago the secretary-general used the political capital from quelling a Federation-spanning civil war and proclaimed a new empire. Increasingly aristocratic, although the old authoritarian social metrics have been dialed back as greater homogeneity and acceptance of the regime has increased.

Septentrion: A world of tropical jungles and blue lakes, half-blanketed by a sprawling cityscape formed out of seven interlocking metropoli. As First Emperor Hito-Radam came from this world and was educated in each of the seven cities, he accorded it special rights that bring its culture much more in line with the old Federation than the current imperial regime.

Messier Arm Coalition: A disparate, fractious network of states who are joined together for the purpose of checking the power of the Galactic Empire and maintaining sovereignty of the Messier arm. Make use of advanced silicon biotechnology in their fighters, have unmatched coordination and mobility thanks to the harvesting of dense exotics from the EN81 neutron star near the 'root' of the galactic arm, which provides elements to construct ansibles of the highest quality. In a cold war with the Empire.

MISTRAL: A mysterious anarcho-liberterian state where personal rights are unlimited and the government is an apparatus managed through network technology. The will of the people dictates the movements of a subconscious political and economic machinery. The creators of the Coalition's biotechnology.

Solomonic Kingdom: A small kingdom on the march bordering the Messier Arm and the Empire's coreward march, which has recently seen great social reforms even as it stagnates technologically. Survived multiple invasions by the Empire, which has left them embittered and heavily entrenched upon a half-dozen worlds. Famous for their arkfighters, deadly spheroids that use reactionless drives to move in every direction and generate beams from vast phase arrays crisscrossing their armored surfaces.

Hossean Remnant: The old galactic hegemon for some five-hundred years, the Hosse Empire ruled from the border of the galaxy using a force of massive automated monitors which extracted tithes and bombarded those who resisted. The Galactic Federation eventually massed a force to glass Old Hosse and beheaded their leadership, while subverting control of the monitors and sending them into suicide courses along the paths of known black holes. Still a regional power, making use of newly-designed supermonitors and slave starfighters.

Freemen: The Coreward Shoals, and most of the Spinward Rim in the galaxy is wild and untamed. A heady mix of pirates, freebooters, deserters and other scum ply their trade. Wildcat miners and others attempt to make their fortunes on the rocks of distant worlds. The rumored Merry-Khan fly the dark stars of the Galactic Verge, searching for... something.
