Setting & Backstory

Present Day Factions

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.

While Technetronic invests a minimum in military force, it invests a maximum in posthuman technology, resulting in a space fleet of considerable ability.
