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.

+[[Setting & Backstory]]
-"The Big Bang was a start, but the Singularity is the beginning"
+===Present Day Factions===
+====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 diamonoid and other esoteric forms of construction.

-What is known is that they were elevated to a cognitive ability far surpassing even the most heavily cyberised nervous systems of a ‘normal’ human, entombed in virtual existances 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 millennia.

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.
-Posthumanity much like humanity itself, was fractious and divided. Even as their intellectual understanding of the universe outstripped any that had come before it, they maintained a distinctly human sense of wonder and imagination, many of which fuelled their division but also empowered bonds of shared visions. Thus posthumanity was divided and yet uniquely united into domains of shared ideals, imagination and ideas.

-====The Pantheon of Myth====
-The Pantheon encomphases the most eccentric branch of posthumanity, who embraced the idea that should style themselves upon ancient mythologies, those of a broad range of the divine and supernatural nature.
+===Historical Factions===
-=====Hellenic=====
+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.
-The Hellenic are a Greek inspired strand of posthumanity, famous for the personifications of Hellenic Gods, though beyond the bluster and pomp of their supposed divinity, the Hellenic Domain have formidable intellects and did deign themselves to communication with mere mortals and were involved in the creation of a myriad of technologies that many seasoned scientists remain convinced are as mythological as the deities that inspired the Hellenic.
-=====Aztec=====
+====3rd Jupiter Republic Energy Consortium====
-The Aztec’s are indirectly responsible for a prized form of armour, known as premium, partly out of a particular fondness of golden megastructures that required ‘unnatural’ amounts of tensile strength. Like much of the Pantheon, they absorbed themselves in the mythologies they found most inspirational.
+Primary Headquarters: Europa<br>
+Important Subsidiaries: Unobtanium Mining & Moondust Construction.<br>
+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====
-====The Provenance====
+Primary Headquarters: Titan <br>
-The Epitome of scientific endeavour, this branch of posthumanity was studios, enlightened and through in it’s pursuit of knowledge. They pursued knowledge through rigours and formulaic procedure, knowledge was discovered, recorded and stored. The Provenance for the most part had only a small applied science branch, that evolved slowly from the sheer volume of pure science it in engaged in, a trickle of devices and technologies that slowly found themselves being sold to the slow humans, toys that they found exhilterating, trinkets they proclaimed as treasures.
-===The Known Polities===
-====The Crisium Technetronic====
-The Domes of Crisium are punctured inummerably with the vaulting starscapers that characterise much of Luna, the low sprawling domes seem more a foundation than the heart of many nations, especially so in the Technetronic.
-Luna for all it’s wealth, power and technology faces many of the same problems any other nation does, rapidly expanding technology and an increasing awareness of just how far ahead the posthumans were. It presents a daunting prospect to people and polities and Crisium with it’s posthuman research facilities, find itself at the centre of many of these questions.
-Outside the laboraties however, Corporate oversight from Triton Dynamics increasing collides with an informed populance mistrustful of the megacorporations that seem to dominate many aspects of their lives. Agitators from Earth, Mars and the outer colonies vie with the powerful Luna based interests and not all are non-violent in their protest against perceived greed and a danger of meddling in forces that lead to the collapse.
-===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.

+Important Subsidiaries: Genesis Life<br>
-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.
