Every faction has a story to tell of their own that occupy the galaxy of Interstellar War. Each faction struggles for survival and dominance.
For each strenght there is a weakness. Through struggle and war they all try to dominate and win the the war. From small personal wars to large scale full galaxy wars have happened throughout time and space within their galaxy.
Many tragedies and attrocities have occured over time. Each faction is different with their own way of dealing with the reality we live in. Struggling along in time hoping, longing for this sweet victory to come.

The Orfine - Alliance

The Orfine are a proud and warlike race of bipedal canines. Their ferocity in hand-to-hand combat is only matched by their incredible survival instincts. Perhaps the most surprising thing about the Orfine is the wealth of their culture, art and music.

Origins:

The Orfine resemble the werewolves of Terran legend.

These huge bipedal canines are strong, fast and unstoppable in a hand-to-hand fight.

Despite their fearsome appearance and warlike culture, the Orfine are surprisingly rich in art and music.

Outsiders are often amazed at the beauty of Orfine opera, and their prolific talent for painting, sculpture, writing and poetry.

However, the pinnacle of Orfine artistic expression is the art of war, something they practice exceedingly well.

Current Status:

The Orfine have garnered a reputation for honour and strength, making them trustworthy bodyguards and mercenaries.

Many Orfine also find employment as bounty-hunters.

The Orfine military machine is quite deadly, but they don't like to fight unworthy opponents.

This should be a warning for those who seek to become powerful!

Strengths and Weaknesses:

The Orfine are legendary for their ferocity in battle and leadership qualities.

However, noble savages do not make great scientist or engineers!

Federation - Plexxans

Plexxan humans are almost identical to Terran humans, but they could not have a more different culture and society. They are strong individualists and frequently produce exceptional heroes. Perhaps their main weakness is their sense of honour and fair play, which is often played upon by unscrupulous enemies.

Origins:

The Plexxans are humans, and it came as a great shock to both sides when they first met the Terrans! In all likelihood, both of these races are equally old. They evolved in completely different star systems, yet are so genetically similar, that they are able to interbreed!

Plexxan and Terran scientists generally agree that this is no accident. Most suspect the involvement of the Morchedi, and point to it as proof of how truly ancient the Morchedi were. Whatever the cause, it has made the Plexxans and Terrans allies, although neither side truly trusts the other.

The root of the distrust comes from cultural clashes. Plexxans society is based on honour and individuality. It has virtually no crime and a high level of individual achievement. However, they are typically disorganised because they have such strong individualism.

Current Status:

President Attal is the current President of the Plexxan Federation. The Plexxans have enjoyed considerable success, being highly regarded by most other species. They are the rising star of the galaxy, sending traders, warriors and diplomats to the nine vectors.

But are they reaching too far, too fast? Only time will tell.

Strengths and Weaknesses

The Plexxans produce strong leaders and pilots, but lack the organisation to be great scientists or technicians
