Factions Lore-Wise

In the beginning of the 21st century, a group of rich scientists agreed that technological advancement was sort of stuck.
They decided to take matters in their own hands, and started the company at the time known as Technotronic Laboratories Incorporated. They achieved many technological advancements, and after a couple of years, around 2060, they were ready to send spacecrafts to other planets.
A while after that, one exploration spaceship found a planet they named Technoma. With help from the natives, they created a small colony and started moving most of the company there.

After some decades, Technoma was a civilised planet controlled by TechTron Industries, and expeditional spaceships were sent out to find more planets to settle down on. First, they found Zuguth: A planet with a really wild environment. Then, they found Yun: A planet full of resources, perfect for technological advancement. Lastly, they found Menya: A stunningly beautiful planet that inspired religion, music, art and similar.

When these planets had been populated, the Technotronic Dictatorship was born: A great faction focused on technology, spreading itself over the entire galaxy. They eventually mastered the use of wormholes, using them for everything from interstellar travel to supplying power.


However, as with most dictatorships and grand factions, the Technotronic Dictatorship eventually fell.
At a national day celebration, most of the army was at the capital planet, Technoma, as well as a great part of the population. Everyone were celebrating, and wormhole generators were busy in countless devices tightly packed all over the planet.
The space-time continuum in the area was more full of holes than swiss cheese, as security readings clearly showed.
At first, not much notice was given. But when the dictator, Daynel DeReitz, was brought off-world through a wormhole that may not have been given enough time to stabilize, a reaction happened.
All wormholes became unstable, and the entire planed and the immediate surroundings were removed from this plane of reality.

Around the same time, the planet of Yun experienced troubles with the environment due to excessive exploiting of the planet's resources. Everyone were brought off-world, mere weeks before the environment collapsed completely, rendering the planet inhospitable.

With the main government and the main resource provider gone, the Technotronic Dictatorship collapsed. The last planet to go was Menya, which was taken over and mostly destroyed by a religious cult worshiping absolute aesthetic perfection.
The remains were absolutely beautiful, but dangerous.

Zuguth, being the only planet left, decided to regain control. The former leader only really had control over TechTron Industries, of which a rather decent part still remained. However, the former main Zuguthian representative in the dictator's counsel, George Tenquio, was chosen to be the emperor. The former dictator, however, was one of three chosen as his co-leaders due to the importance of TechTron Industries.
All technotronic stores were then taken down and either sold or used as metal for rebuilding the army, and the population of the more distant colonies were moved to Zuguth.
Then, Yun was reclaimed due to the value of the resources that still exist in form of mines and ruins. It had, after all, been a very high-tech society.

Extracted from Terran History for Non-Terrans

Since ancient times Humans didn't get along well with each other. Unlike other species terrans were always divided among themselves in autonomic social structures called countries. Each country was independent from other countries and dictated its own internal policy, social structure and culture, turning the human race into one of the most diverse in the galaxy. That is why even to this day many Xenologists don't understand how a human alliance was possible.

In 2148 (Terran Calendar) began the "Disarm War" , a continuation to the cold war (See Terran cold war)  that would form the basis of the unification war. This war began after the discovery of a method to speed up the decay of radioactive materials from the distance by cross-irradiating it. As a result began a shadow war among the nations with each nation trying to disarm their opponent from nuclear warheads while keeping its own warheads safe, thus gaining tactical advantage.

In 2153 a new charismatic leader rises on the terran political map, Ian Velenberg. Velenberg is aware of the new political map formed by the disarm war. Using his charisma and political knowledge Velenberg convinces the leaders of major western nations (Including USA, UK, Germany) (See cold war nation division) to form an alliance in the face of a fake attack from the eastern block. After the appearance of rumors about the impending alliance, many eastern countries (Including Russia, china, Iran, North Korea, Colombia) unite together to protect themselves against the western alliance. The declaration of the eastern alliance began to spread panic among the remaining nations. All the countries that to this point remained neutral began to quickly pick sides and so from mere rumors Velenberg managed to unite half of the terran population without a single fight.

After a year filled with tension in 2154 the unification war begins. During the next four years the Terrans fight a bloody war among themselves. In 2158 the war ends with a victory of the western block and Velenberg unites the western and eastern blocks and declares "world peace" (See world peace in terran mythology). later that year Velenberg declares the creation of the United Terran Alliance or the UTA. Not everyone was ready to accept the rule of the UTA and so the underground liberation front was formed.

Later on in  2253 the Unite Terran Navy or the UTN is formed following the Sirius rebellion. After the unification war in 2154 some remnants of the Liberation Front gathered a small fleet at the colony of Sirius and launched a surprise attack on the Terran Union. While being able to defeat the rebel force near the Sol jump node the Terran Union almost suffered a crushing defeat. As a result the first lines of specialized battleships were created and the UTN was formed. for 4 years the UTN fights a blood guerrilla war against the rebels until the Sirius system was discovered in 2257. The UTN destroyed the rebel elements and established Sirius as a Colony under the control of the Terran Union. The remaining members of the liberation front will later establish a new colony further away from Earth called NeoRome [certification needed, are you there Fen ?] .

The Mogrians originated from an alternate version of Earth in another universe.
Until the early 20th century (terran calendar) history was almost identical with Earths history.
However, about 2020 Earth was invaded by the Strigiforme. Being technologically inferior and weakened from the recent World War, they didn't stand a chance.
Later, Strigiforme experiments on Terran wildlife resulted in the creation of a new species, the Morians.
Mogrians are usually 1-2 meters in height, depending on their so-called 'sub-race', a phenomenon resulting from them being bred and genetically modified from various Terran animals. Their physical strenght tends to be slightly below that of a Human, but they have much shorter reaction times, which led to them being used as pilots for various fast-moving vehicles (if they could be trusted with those, that is).
Due to their similarity to Animals, many Humans failed to accept their sentience and they quickly sunk into the lower class, many turning criminal due to having no other way of getting the money for their life. The only somewhat-successful Mogrians were those that got a place in the military, altough rising in ranks was not an option for non-Strigiforme.
Soon, Mogrian resistance groups emerged and they experimented with Strigiforme dimensional technology, accidentally ending up teleporting their entire solar system into this universe.
Due to the shift in dimensions, the Strigiforme were no longer able to get support from their other systems, as at that time the interdimensional Empire of the Strigiforme had already broken down, eventually resulting in them being overthrown by Mogrian and Human rebels.
Afterwards, Mogrians turned into the dominant species on their planet due to their higher fertility compared to Humans.
They also began using leftover Strigiforme tech in order to develop their own FTL-engines as well as other technology vital for interstellar travel.
The first interstellar Mogrian colony was established in 2281, soon followed by others, until the Mogrians, now united with the native Humans of their planet, became significant enough to be noticed by the native Strigiforme population.
