The galaxy is filled with more than just the player characters! In this thread, you will find a listing of people and groups worth making note of. These people add flavor to the world, and can even give you ideas for characters and histories. If you wish to make a character that's from one of these groups, please ask a Mod or an Admin and they can give you more details if you need any.

Red Shift Enterprises (RSE)
RSE is the largest Earth-based mega-corporation, and the Sol system is its primary territory. The core of the business is shipbuilding and transportation, with smaller operations branching off from that central trunk including space mining and interstellar trade. The majority of commercial, industrial and military spaceships of human origin are manufactured by RSE. For a mega-corporation, they are relatively on the good side of the public, with no massive scandals or specific complaints against them. Their headquarters are located in Hong Kong.

The Interstellar Exploration and Salvaging Association (aka The Junker's Guild)
Do not let the long-winded formal name fool you, the Junker's Guild is far from an entirely professional operation. They are efficient and apparently within the law, but they are very much unlike the clean and smooth corporations they often find company with. Described by some as "space truckers", members of the Junker's Guild offer exploratory services across the galaxy and run salvage operations on any non-claimed husks that float in the void. Their legitimacy is often called into question because the Guild's members are often granted access to normally restricted space.

Xeno-Preservation Society
The Xeno-Preservation Society is a non-profit group that advocates for the independence of non-space faring civilizations, and strongly believes in a code of non-interference with developing worlds.

Galactic News Network
The only galaxy-spanning news network, GNN reports only on matters that affect entire systems or clusters, and the occasional soft piece. Fortunately, enough news happens in an entire galaxy that they rarely have to resort to puff pieces. There are usually enough political, governmental, military, and social happenings to fill an entire news cycle. The "face" of GNN is an easy-on-the-eyes blonde human woman named "Cosmona".

ANTAGONIST ORGANIZATIONS

The Last Crusade
While the Calathar erased religion from human government they did not see a need to wipe out human religion entirely despite their lack of belief in it. While religion is still peacefully prominent in current times there are groups who refuse to accept this restriction of their beliefs. The last crusade is a militant christian group bent on wiping out the calathar unless they convert. While their ranks are primarily human there are some races, including calathar, dotted throughout their numbers. They number in the low millions throughout the galaxy, making them unable to take on the massive calathar military head on causing them to utilize guerrilla tactics such as hitting small patrols or attacking poorly defended calathar colonies in human controlled space. They have only recently started testing their chances in calathar controlled space only to learn human laws do not protect them there, causing them to remain primarily in human controlled space where if captured they're chances of survival are much higher.
Felecia Vallian - Calathar combat engineer /Captain Mordious - Calathar frigate commander
Captain Catarious - Human ground team commander/ Captain Heshmire - Captain of The Hero's Grave/ Amelia Phodon - second in command of The Hero's Grave
