Kast's Faction Index - 2021

Reavers



The Reavers are a band of "Sky Pirates", little more than raiders and robbers who utilize some small aerocraft to assist them in their raids.

Scavengers

Armed groups not loyal to any group or faction, little more than roaming bandits and opportunists

Elbrus


Elbrus is a small territory established in the wild territory east of the Imperiya, Some time ago they became close allies with the Imperiya, and their military equipment represents that.

Elbrus has recieved a number of vehicles and weapons decommissioned from Imperiya use, and donated directly to them without any downgrades or de-milling. Their tanks are practically identical to the Imperiya Kodiak medium tank.

Greenskins

Also known as Brootalz, The Greenskins are a hostile and warlike race that have begun to populate Mir like an invasive species. They have no known base of operations or known command structure, for the time being they are essentially like armed wildlife.

Verklund


Verklund is a medium sized Isolationist country from the region of Kraiena, wedged between the Communists and the Federation. They have fought numerous wars against both, and have displayed disdain and hostility for almost all other factions across the various continents, For that reason it' surprising that Such a collection of edgelords is actually hostile with the Dominion of Ruin and it's associated groups. They are however known from time to time to engage in black ops and other dirty deeds on the mainland to assist their agenda.

Sarkhan & Kolechia

Sarkhan & Kolechia are two tiny Imperiya puppet states in the Eastern Wastelands of Serica. Both are poor, and on the verge of collapse on any given day. There is little remarkable about them other than the fact that they are degrading into warzones. Their troops use a mixture of donated Imperiya weaponry, and whatever else they scratched together from their meagre industries

Cordova Coalition



Centered around the City-State of Cordova, The Coalition is a gathering of skilled Shipbuilders and colonists who have been on the sidelines of many conflicts in recent history. Much of their doctrine revolves around using their specially designed Fleet Ships to great strategic effect in battle where their rivals either don't have Ships to begin with, or theirs are simply too big to be practical unlike Cordova's

Coalition Marines
Cordova Marines by Kastrenzo, on Flickr

Cordovan Marines fight both on the ground, and as security and gunnery units on Navy ships. They are armed with an array of weapons, and possess specialist training, making them superior to most faction's frontline units.

NAV-4 Hovertank

The NAV series is a light, highly mobile fighting vehicle with an automatic explosive gun for a weapon.

Arrowhead Fighter
Fighter1 by Kastrenzo, on Flickr
The Arrowhead is the Coalition's air superiority fighter, and it totally wasn't just co-opted from somewhere else.

Talon Fighter
Fighter2 by Kastrenzo, on Flickr
The Talon is a smaller fighter suited for ground attack, but can hold its own in a dogfight too. Also unique design pls do not steal /s

Molay Class Cutter
Molay Class Cutter by Kastrenzo, on Flickr
The Molay is an innovative design of Starship in that the Coalition has found a way to have a flying fortress that is small enough to be manuverable in a surface battle, and not cost the GDP of a small country to deploy.

Xind Empire



Situated on the desolate wasteland that is known as the Xindra Continent, and comprising of the eponymous Xind people, the Xind Empire is a large, but largely backward and hostile society resembling something of an Absolute Monarchy, While few venture into the horrible place that is Xindra, they are known to visit, and Raid the mainland often. Their entire society is broken into castes, with different castes serving different functions in the Empire, and on the battlefield.

Kar'Shan Warriors
Kar Shan Clans by Kastrenzo, on Flickr
The Kar'Shan are a seperate race from Xindra, with their own clan heirarchy, Who also do little more than raiding and pillaging. Some clans are hostile to the Xind Empire, while others are happy to serve them as mercenaries.

Red Kraiena


Red Kraiena is a large, backwards and impovershed Communist state occupying about half of the continent of Kraiena. They have occasionally tried to attack the Mainland, but are often too busy fighting against Verklund, and occasionally the Federation back on their home continent.

Serican Remnant


The Serican Empire once controlled all of Mir. Their teknology still forms the basis of much of society, commerce and industry today. However after an era of oppression and slavery forced on the various peoples of the realm, they were deposed in a series of wars, and later treaties. By R2020 the majority of them have left Mir entirely, those who remain are scattered across the realm in hidden bunkers and estates.

Deemed terrorists as bad as the Dominion of Ruin for their past crimes, Some still attempt to influence the realm from the shadows with proxies and agents. But they are by all accounts, a forgotten remnant That does nothing but provide looters and tek hunters someone to steal from, and leave its Bioweapon monsters all over the place like a toxic spill..

Serican Elders
Serican Elders by Kastrenzo, on Flickr
Magik-Supremacists who once ruled Mir, now they are little more than Rogue mages walking around in fancy armor, Commanding what few slaves and obedient monsters they have left. Trying to convince the realm they still matter.

Bioweapons
Bioweapons by Kastrenzo, on Flickr
Genetically engineered living weapons, Monsters who are nothing but claws, teeth and anger made to be unleashed on the enemy. As the Serican Empire started to decline, they relied more and more on using these weapons to fight their wars. Unless they are all killed, Any spot with these creatures left intact might as well be uninhabitable.

Avian Warriors
Avian Warriors by Kastrenzo, on Flickr
The Avians were considered to be at the top of the "Slave Castes", so much so that they believed that the Sericans actually treated them with respect. While some have moved off to form their own Kingdom, many still serve the Sericans, whether as warriors in battle, or as Servants on their estates and bunkers.
