I'm going to start trying to overhaul this and update the images for the units that have changed or been expanded.

I also intend to change the names and writeups for some of the factions and units, This is something I've been doing all the time since I'm apparentley never happy with the names and themes of things.
Most of what follows after this is just theme and lore changes that will be pending, but TLDR, I'm changing shit again and will also be uploading updated pictures where needed

TLDR of Lore

All of my factions live in or are from the Elkoss Space Sector
GR 1992 Anti Communists flee the Pan-Slavia sector *one of Duerer's places* and colonize planet Elkoss, Capital
Several "countries" grow and do their own minor space exploration encountering a few minor powers,
GR 2001 to GR 2005 see's a "World War" on Elkoss, the White and Blue "countries" defeat the Red, Black and Green ones,
Elkoss Star Republic founded after world war, more of an alliance of nations rather than a singular power.
Between GR 2005 and 2011 the Republic contined to expand it's borders, fighting a war with NegaBlok forces that appeared through wormholes out of nowhere, Negabloks are destroyed
Sometime between GR2005 and 2011 the ESR finally compounded itself into a single state rather than the "alliance" of Red Black Blue and White it once was. White culture is dominant

After GR2011 starts the more important "lore"
- ESR at it's height, has border systems attacked by peaches, military beats them back. Peaches were known as the "United Peach Liberation Front", a militant group hellbent on killing off yellows for the mistreatment their race suffered
- Peach attacking force discovered to be immeasurably larger than thought. Gravely outnumbered ESR fights a losing battle and has several of it's systems completely wiped out,
- ESR is pushed back to it's capital system, vast majority of peach forces consolidated in the system for the knockout punch, ESR Navy launches a last ditch attempt to win the war, and Nukes much of it's own homeworld,
- Nuking operation is a success, the back of the peach invaders is broken and the ground forces are able to turn the tide. Victory for the ESR is declared, but both the ESR and UPLF have been left utterly decimated, with billions killed in the war.
- Both sides are balkanized and fall apart into several successor and rump states, who would later compete for legitimacy and supremacy of the sector
- The great war left a power vacuum in most of the sector which allowed seperatist or independent groups little opposition to seize power.
- Lots of sectarian violence and drama occur, eventually the AN is called in to help settle the bickering between all the groups, they are able to get some groups to agree to ceasefires while others refuse to negotiate and keep fighting
- and by GR2016 several of the factions are willing to join other alliances outside the sector, and some external factions become a little involved in affairs of sector
Here's a short but incomplete list of the faction name and theme changes

Elkossian Star Republic is now renamed to Elkan Federal Republic, continues to use it's generic "empire" style, themed after Western Ukrainian and other eastern European countries, acts as the main successor to the old empire

New Elkoss Republic will keep it's name for now, will continue to act as the "armed opposition party" to the main government. Rather than being a terrestrial opposition group, they're now going to be an opposition government that retreated to the capital's moon, also sharing a central/eastern european theme with an emphasis on 'merican freedom and aggressive independence of THE MOON

Belkrainian Commonwealth is being renamed and re-themed, Will be called the Olympus Hegemony *or Olympic Hegemony*, they will still function as another major independent/sepreatist group, but one that fled the immediate borders of the sector and set up base there. They'll be styled as a more scholary and technological faction but as the name implies with a heavy Greek theme, mixing laser weapons with hoplite shields and such.

The Raider group is being reformed into the "Mozorovan Socialist Union" a communist puppet state of the USSSR, will still encoroprate the rag tag force of vehicles and mixed levels of troops, also thinking of assigning the massive droid army I own "which I refer to as Killbots", to them as the Communists need some kind of numbers increase, and I simply don't have parts

Triangular state remains the same, extremist group based on triangle god religion.

Peach Remnants will play a larger role soon as their numbers are getting boosted, also considering using Killbots for them. They will now be known as the "Peach Resistance" since many governments are still vengeful towards peaches, Will comprise of basically all Peach minifigs not already apart of more "progressive" factions. Peach Resistance is not meant to be anything special like the 45th union, its literally just SW Rebels/Resistance type units

pretty much all the other "factions" I own of Minifigs of different colors are just going to function as gangs, mercenaries, scavengers, etc.
I'm also planning on working on "de-stocking" more vehicles, starting with the Coast Guard ship, I'd like to turn it into something like this, albeit smaller , basically a naval tank, and not just something that looks like a freighter
