Present Day Factions

The 4th Jupiter Republic

Name (long): The 4th Jupiter Republic
Names (short): 4th Republic, Jovians, Neo Jovians
Society: Post-scarcity Republic
Capital: Neo Callisto
Executive: President Okada
Legislature: Supreme Senate
Population: 2,350,000

They consider themselves the heirs of human civilization, the 4th Jupiter Republic is actually a far-flung colony of the 3rd Jupiter Republic. Their recovery was jump-started by a powerful artifact known as a Jupiter Standard Codex, containing production schematics for a variety of Jupiter Republic civilian and military hardware. The Codex also contained the codes necessary to open posthuman caches and re-activate interstellar gates. After a few false starts, the Republic finally activated a gate to other surviving polity, heralding the age of the Reconnect.

The 4th Jupiter Republic is a unicameral republic, with a single senate made up of 45 senators. It's population is extremely small and augmented by significant amounts of automation and androids, both robotic and biorobotic. Jovians tend to be self-centered but pragmatic.

Historical Factions

The Megacorps of the pre-collapse era were responsible for the design and manufacture of many items. While scattered enclaves of these once mighty institutions still exist, most of them only exist as brand names etched on pre-collapse artifacts.

3rd Jupiter Republic Energy Consortium

Primary Headquarters: Europa
Important Subsidiaries: Unobtanium Mining & Moondust Construction.
The 3rd Jupiter Republic Energy Consortium was a corporation that deal primarily in the fields of helium gas extraction, fusion fuel products and transport, as well as reactor design and operation. As one of the major precollapse demarchy corporations, it had extensive ties with posthumanity. It's majority shareholder was the 3rd Republic itself.

Titan Dynamics

Primary Headquarters: Titan
Important Subsidiaries: Lockheed North, Winchester Mechanical
Titan Dynamics was a leading manufactorer of high end military hardware, including starships and aerospace vehicles. At it's height during the Outer System Renaissance led by the 3rd Jupiter Republic, it owned various subsidiaries which were responsible for civilian model freighters, spinners etc.

BAE-Zaibach System’s

Primary Headquarters: Luna
Important Subsidiaries: Bahamut Hyperdiamond
Formed by the merger of a earth based corporation and one based on mars, corporations BAE-Zaibach Systems was a designer and manufacturer of military and civilian electronics, vehicles and was also a construction magnate, thanks to Bahamut Hyperdiamond, a leading designer and producer of hyperdiamond based architecture.

Voltz Tek-Mitsubishi

Primary headquarters: Earth
Important Subsidiaries: Genesis Life
Voltz Tek-Mitsubishi designed and constructs some of the most highly advanced non-posthuman derived technology in known space. Both a civilian corporation and a military contractor, it was responsible for everything from groundcars, spinners, to laser rifles and armoured vehicles. Due to the rarity of it’s technology, it charged a high price to consumers and ownership of a battalion equipped with Voltz Model 90 Laser Rifles was considered prestigious to the expensive of their manufacture.

-"The Big Bang was a start, but the Singularity is the beginning"
+====The 4th Jupiter Republic====
-The Posthumans are or were virtually inscrutable beings, they rapidly diverged from the mainstream of humanity society in the late 21st century, retreating into their Catherdral fortresses of exotic matter and other esoteric forms of construction.

-What is known is that they were elevated to a cognitive ability far surpassing even the most heavily cybernetically rewired nervous systems of a ‘normal’ human, entombed in virtual existences that offered unparalleled processing power and operating on a level far timely than our own. Some estimates postulate posthumanity in it’s brief existence, had a civilization spanning dozens of millennia.
-All that is left of them that humanity knows of, is scattered enclaves, science stations, computational grids and other trinkets. Some of their devices still function, most of their 'cities' remain, but of the digital intelligences, nothing can be found.

-====The Technetronic====
-The Technetronic lie near the centre of Reconnect civilization. One of the first states to begin to uncover the secrets of posthumanity, they have a significant interest in 'apex' technology and invest much of their national resources into further uncovering the mysteries, whether of military or political benefit or not. The Technetronic are known to sell this information, operating on the principle of equivalent exchange.
+===Historical Factions===
-While Technetronic invests a minimum in military force, it invests a maximum in posthuman technology, resulting in a space fleet of considerable ability.

-====The Union====
+====Titan Dynamics====
+Primary Headquarters: Titan <br>
-The Union is collectivist state, a careful arrangement of several systems whose capital is one of the larger asteroid habitats in known space. As a galactic heavyweight, their power lies in the plentiful resources their 'raw' systems provide, easily accessible mineral resources in quantities that leave lesser polities in awe.
-The resources are considered the property of all in equal measure, as such proceeds from the vast mining operations are shared equally amongst the populace, in the form of direct income and government services.
-===The Big Three and The Big Fourth===
-"Megacorp, there today, here tomorrow"
-====Poseidon Energy====
-Primary Headquarters: Luna<br>
-Important Subsidiaries: Yuma Flats Energy Consortium, Radiation King Mining &  Moondust Construction.<br>
-Poseidon Energy is a corporation that deals primarily in the fields of radionuclide mining, nuclear fuel manufacture and transport, as well as reactor design and operation. As one of the major precollapse demarchy corporations, it had extensive ties with posthumanity and managed to weather the subsequent decades after the collapse to remain one of the leading businesses of today.
-====Triton Dynamics====
-Primary Headquarters: Luna<br>
 Important Subsidiaries: Lockheed North, Winchester Mechanical<br>
-Triton Dynamics is a former subsidiary of Poseidon Energy, though in the collapse it lost in value considerably, due to the use of now defunct posthuman technology in many of it’s designs and was bought out by unknown parties. Triton Dynamics is a leading manufacter of high end military hardware, including starships and aerospace vehicles. Various subsidiaries are also responsible for civilian model freighters, spinners etc.

-An entirely Regressor company, West-Tek-Mitsubishi is designs and constructs some of the most highly advanced non-posthuman derived technology in known space. Both a civilian corporation and a military contractor, it is responsible for everything from groundcars, spinners, to laser rifles and armoured vehicles. Due to the rarity of it’s technology, it charges a high price to consumers for anything Tier 4 and ownership of a battalion equipped with Wattz 3000 Laser Rifles is prestigious.
