In the dark expanse of space, a shadow war unfolded. Humanity had expanded its reach, venturing into the cosmos to colonize the solar system and extract valuable resources. As nations established mining operations on Mars and the asteroid belt, they unwittingly became entangled in a shadow war.
Unbeknownst to the six secretive factions embroiled in this conflict, a new force emerged from the shadows led by Colonel Hanse Castillo. Having spent most of his efforts to get the corrupt governments of South America to work together, this group now had a powerbase of nations that also desired their spot in space.
Within the depths of space, as humanity's expansion continued, the shadow war intensified when rumors spread that some astronomers found alien installations at the edge of the Kuiper Belt. This discovery led to the abolishment of "The Outer Space Treaty" of 1967 as all factions raced to acquire ships. Skirmishes erupted in Earth orbit and in the heart of the asteroid belt as factions fought for control over vital resources and strategic positions. The fate of Earth and the solar system hung in the balance over which faction gained control of the new Space race.
This is the start of a tale known as “The Seven Faction Problem”.
A tale not of Aliens, but of human factions fighting each other.
Welcome to "The Seven Faction Problem," a scenario focused on the conflicts between human factions in space. To enhance gameplay, the other human factions have been significantly strengthened, and a functional space economy has been established at the beginning of the game.
Additionally, each faction utilizes custom ship designs that revolve around a specific "theme." This approach not only adds a great deal of diversity but also provides unique strategic opportunities when engaging with different factions in combat.
This leads to epic battles like this and ofthen over 1000 human Ships in the solar system.
The primary objective of this scenario is not to defeat the aliens
but rather to exploit the ongoing war between the human factions in order to increase your own power by stealing and capturing their assets. Earth is divided into regions controlled by different factions.
The region dominated by Colonel Hanse Castillo faces a significant development gap compared to other regions in the world. While other regions are rapidly advancing to support the new space race, South America lacks a space program at the start of the game and has a substantial amount of catching up to do.
Will you gain control of the new space race, or will South America fade away into irrelevance?
