Advantages
Medium Shipyards (Free)
Mecha Factories (10 SP)
Impractical Engineering (20 SP): Although the incredible machines built by these processes are inefficient, the low population of Adhara makes any qualitative advantage necessary to offset their quantitative disadvantage.
Obermensch (15 SP): An Adharan is massively augmented, with redundant genetic code, backup organs, skin designed to survive impacts from sandstorms or micrometeoroids, radiation repair systems, optimized muscle, and carbon-fiber laced bone. Although few of these modifications were specifically intended to make better soldiers, an Adharan body is an excellent frame for a soldier, superior to almost any transgene in the Sphere. Further improvements made to the military bodies make them even more capable
Compuphile (15 SP): Mentally, an Adharan is modified with massive cognitive augmentation-cognitive backup, wireless interfacing, and all the savant abilities that most transgenes expect, interfaced with circuitry where it could do the job better. The knowledge needed to create the external systems that enhance a mind can easily be applied to creating autonomous drones as well, and is.
Extreme Transhumans (10 SP): An Adharan can survive in some of the most hostile environments known to man unaided due to how they were designed and built. The only disadvantage of these augmentations, if one could call it that, is an inhuman appearance and the inability to reproduce without external assistance-and even then, that is being worked on. Advanced medical techniques and repair nanotech, after all, could theoretically be applied to creating a full, if immature, Adharan in a womb.
Cyberize (10 SP): Where the flesh cannot be further enhanced, one works using metal and plastic. Adharans already are cybernetically modified to coincide and complement their genetic augmentation, and their augmentations are works of art, fusing the cutting edge of exotic biotechnology and advanced cybernetic augmentation into a cohesive, beautiful whole.
Advanced Technology (75 SP): The Collective has stepped closer and closer to the edge of singularity than many other powers have, and their technological base has been very thankful for it. Cognitive enhancement technologies have begotten generations of genius researchers.
Deep Core Mining (15 SP): Adhara is, although hostile, incredibly rich in strategically useful resources. The white dwarf in the binary star system is an excellent source of exotic matter usable in computer systems and also a different form usable for reactionless drives.
Access To Space (15 SP)
Crossing the Line: USA (Free): Although Adhara is no longer using much of the original research, the DARPA cognitive-enhancement and soldier-enhancement systems researched in the 2020s and 2030s were a critical stepping-stone to the technologies needed to create the bodies Adharans use today-in fact, several Adharan genetic sequences carry DARPA "legacy code" in them, more than a century old but still recognizable as their work. This idealized view of history, as well as their need for (relatively) undisturbed work, has led them to seek closer ties to the US. Out of national interest, the US and Japan have responded in kind.
Disadvantages
Access To Information Act (+10 SP): Given the networking and lack of respect for privacy of any sort that the Adhara Collective has, it is impossible to keep anything truly secret here.
Helium Disconnect (+35 SP): A very significant portion of Adhara's helium-3 supply is being fed into the posthuman automated terraforming systems that have rendered Adhara semi-livable. If this was to be cut off, it would be a matter of weeks, months at most, before the planet regressed to a state where even the highly augmented Adharans would be incapable of living on it.
Active Terraforming (+15 SP): 173 He3/month used
Untrust Funds (+20 SP): The Adharan collective is, by default, unequipped to generate a flow of wealth or expand businesses-it is more akin to an insect hive than a society. Although there is still some degree of credit flow, the communistic nature of the Collective greatly hampers normal economic growth.
Environmental Trainwreck (+10 SP): The planet they live on has average temperatures in the 90 degree celcius range at daytime, no naturally occuring water whatsoever, a very oxygen-poor atmosphere, gravity 20% higher than Earth's norm... and this is after a century of work. Fairly wishful estimates say that the atmosphere should be breathable within 25 years.
Background
"Messier was a chrysalis for a new form of life, created from the caterpillar of the human genetic code, cocooned in the clouds of a dead world."
-Jonas VanVechtin, The New Breed, Chapter 12.
History
The Adharan collective are descended from two disparate groups: Extreme transhumans who wanted to show precisely what they were capable of, and then the refugees who thought any place, no matter how horrible, would be better than staying on Earth, taggers-along who accepted the ideals out of pure pragmatism. They asked for the most hostile planet the posthumans could provide, to show what they were capable of. They were given it. And the process of enhancing themselves to survive it went on. Decades were spent on orbital stations, slowly creating and refining the technologies necessary. They were to be able to survive on any world, a grand experiment of transhuman technologies, the most extreme expression of such.
It took decades for this transformation to take place. Whereas other colonies built up their infrastructure over the slow period of decades, Adhara was busy creating the infrastructure for new creation, preparing all of its citizens for a new existence. There were few disagreements, because few knew of the true scope of this project. Even most of the researchers knew little about how deep the changes truly went. For how would one create a new lifeform... and curse it with the frailties of the human mind and form? In 2120, when the Core made contact again with Adhara, they were prepared to see something akin to all the other transgene or cyborg-populated planets, despite the statements made before. They were shocked at the collective, at how changed it was. On a planet which nobody wanted, which nobody cared for, they had bought themselves the decades needed to create new life in earnest.
Adhara seemed like a dead ringer for joining ZOCU-except that it was never oppressed, if only by pragmatism. No sane baseline would go anywhere near it unless they had to, and Adhara had little of worth. Although it was a resource-rich system, the Adharans themselves were perfectly willing to sell equipment to fund their expansion of both their research and industrial power. Their modifications were already proving to be critically useful in this situation, allowing surprising speed of expansion, and the knowledge gained from their enhancement and research processes could be applied to military applications very well. However, they had sacrificed military expansion, and with the potential threat of being caught in the middle of both sides, they functionally threw their lot in with the Core during 2187. This made them very few friends, but without ever having been defeated or occupied, they were free to improve themselves.
Currently, the Adharans are one of the founding members of the Progressive Transhuman Coalition, for obvious reasons. They are, strangely enough, at least in part the voice of moderation, due to their semi-close association with the Core in the ZOCU-Core war. Their policies and actions are mostly political. Although the Adharans deny any use of military force to assist the PTC and its goals, there have been some evidence of Special Warfare Arm interventions in anti-transhuman Rim Worlds and against the terrorist group December 23. This evidence tends to be limited enough and spotty enough, though, that the Adharans have never acknowledged one of these operations, and so far most nations have found it quite convenient to ignore these "interventions", never investigating them in earnest.
Politics
Adhara, being a networked groupmind, generally tends to have few subjects there is critical disagreement on. The last subject there was significant internal disagreement on was the 2187 ZOCU-Core war, where a significant minority of the population supported throwing their lot in with ZOCU. This minority has shrunken and gotten significantly quieter as the years have gone by, though, at least in part because of ZOCU coming off as the losers of the war.
Adhara's current close ties to the United States are partially because of historical respect. DARPA's work on soldier systems in the 2020s and 2030s was instrumental in creating the framework which the Adharans further built on. This work is looked back upon as some of the first steps on the road to Adhara. Although not worshipped, the successors of that mantle are certainly looked upon warmly. Also, appeasing the Core gives them more time. If war does not break out, it will not matter, and if war does break out, certainly being closer to the Core should give them more of a chance to survive the ensuing melee.
Furthermore, Adharans believe that humanity will inevitability become transhuman, and it matters little if it happens a decade or a century or a millenium from now, as long as the ideal lives. And the genie is already out of the bottle. It is already too late to put it back in.

Military
Doctrine
"They (the Adharans) are not masters of the art of war. They have not learned the lessons of modern warfare firsthand, and they have had little of the esprit de corps that is only created with time. Nevertheless, sheer physical superiority, excellent networking and command protocols, and a willingness to abandon the human form for performance increases more than compensates for any inadequacies, real or imagined, in their combat experience."
-The New Breed, excerpt of an interview of Brigadier Gen. (ret) Alexander Wong
Ubi concordia, ibi victoria
-Where there is unity, there is victory. (Adharan Combat Arms Motto)
Air Dominance 3
Little more than overpowered cardiovascular systems designed to fuel augmented brains and nervous systems, hooked into nutrient feeds and neural interfaces, Adharan pilotforms are not trained with the benefits of frontline experience, nor is Adharan doctrine particularly advanced. What they are is, by far, the fastest reacting pilots, with the highest G-tolerances and the finest control of their craft. Although freakishly inhuman, little more than ovoid blobs of flesh and cybernetic implants, what does one care of a knife's aesthetics, as long as it can kill well?
Combined Arms 3
Adharan bodies were never originally designed as soldiers. However, given the sheer amount of military-derived bioware and cyberware in them, the speciated Negator variant is one of the deadliest soldiers in the human Sphere. Despite lacking combat experience and the amazing doctrine that several nations rely on, the sheer physical and mental superiority of Adharan soldiers, as well as the flexibility inherent in the Adharan command net, is often enough to carry Adharan battleplans.
SIGINT 2: A networked power with advanced parallel processing abilities, Adhara needs no experience in signals intelligence when they can just brute force most cyphers in the same time or less it takes trained analysts to break them with subterfuge.

"It has always been said that the most dangerous assassin is one prepared to give his life for a cause, who will fire the killing shot fully knowing that they will not survive. Fortunately, such people are, and have always been, few and far between. But what when you can and do create a unit made solely of soldiers who believe themselves already dead?"
-The New Breed, excerpt of an interview of Brigadier Gen. (ret) Alexander Wong
mors vincit omnia
-Death conquers all. (Adharan Special Warfare Motto)
Secret Missions 2
Adharan Special Warfare is the only Adharan combat arm with true combat experience, and a fair amount of it, in many situations and environs. Combined with Adharan expertise in engineering both minds and bodies to a situation, and general Adharan physical superiority to foes, this has created an incredibly deadly, lean special operations apparatus.
Espionage 1
In theory, Adharan covert ops should be very easy to locate due to various factors. In practice, this doesn't work out quite as neatly as people expect. Do not expect an Adharan agent to stand out like other Adharans does, whether they work in software or wetware. Expect them to be invisible, whether they are eyes or hidden daggers.
Units in Service
All units Tech Level 4 unless stated otherwise.
Special Warfare Arm
The Black Operations units of the Collective are modified for the ability to withstand prolonged periods of loss of communication with others, making them, as a rule, generally incredibly abnormal as far as the collective's military forces go. Most of them are borderline sociopathic, psychologically and physiologically modified to deal with being alone after decades of constant communication with others.
Total Upkeep: 2 Supply
1 "Wraith" Special Combat Unit (Experimental Special Operation Force)
Adharan Special Warfare teams sometimes need their own soldiers. Wraiths are those soldiers. Wraiths are intended for silent operations, where firepower and armor are less useful than stealth, but they can hold their own in a fight.

Ground Combat Arm (Infantry)
Adharan infantry, similar to its special warfare arm, are generally top-notch in quality and capability. However, due to the need for numbers, expendable drones are often fielded autonomously in networked battalions, as they can be used in high-risk operations without any need for loss of Adharan or allied life.
