	==Down==		==Down==
			Perhaps the strongest force opposing the Sol Union is Down, also know as Gliese 581 g, one of humanity's oldest colonies. The Downians live entirely in space, trading extensively with the native civilization that exists on the surface of Down, but not living their due to the planets high gravity and unsuited biochemistry. Still, as the first colony to have a habitable planet beneath it, Down Station was uniquely independent from Earth.

			Down was also one of the vanguard powers during the network wars, agressively expanding into the network and enduring several of the most vicious counter attacks by the Network Entities, several areas of the Down system remain quarantined due to these strikes.

			Since the war, Down has become increasingly hostile to the Sol Union, mostly due to competing claims to the Alpha Centuari system.

			Down's Government is a direct democracy, with different numbers of votes allocated by AI due to qualification and good decision making.

	===Drones===		===Drones===
			Down makes fairly limited use of drones, considering them strictly support units and escorts.

	===Armatures===		===Armatures===
			Down invented Armatures, and so they have a ton of different types.
