Major factions

Empire

As one of the largest known factions in the universe, Empire represents itself as an imperial meritocracy with a subdivided military and civilian government.
It is formally lead by Emperor Laurentius and various commanding officers.

The Empire represents itself in angular, pointed iconography and architecture with a pseudo-Roman naming convention for ships, stations and prominent endoskeletons.
Orange, white and purple are the official colors used by Imperial ships and stations. However, differences may exist as a result of rank, veteran status, or both.

As indicated in various trailers, the Empire is at war with the Kingdom, the other largest known faction in the universe.
Both Empire and Kingdom are run by players and developers.
