1. #1E.L.Fselective

   Keys: E.L.F, ELF, Earth liberation front, rebels

   The Earth Liberation Front is what most people would call a terrorist organization. While most governments and corporations act as if it's only a small, powerless group it's in fact quite massive, with thousands of members, advanced equipment, well-equipped bases and a well established power structure. All for the goal of setting Earth free from the control of Megacorps, in other words, it's a proper army.

   No one knows exactly when they first appeared or how they became so powerful, but the propaganda doesn't change the fact they're a major faction.

   E.L.F troops mostly rely on guerilla tactics, using small arms and ambushes to eliminate corporate forces. Sometimes though they may make use of their more advanced arsenal, deployed small Warforms, gunships and the likes.

2. #2Warformselective

   Keys: Warform, mech, tanks

   A Warform is a highly advanced mechanized war machine, typically on four legs. Warforms are large, heavy, and covered in incredibly thick armor rendering them immune to most non specialized weaponry. Most Warforms have human pilots; typically these are highly augmented elite troops. However, some are piloted by powerful, but limited, Artificial Intelligence. Warforms are walking weapons platform, absolutely covered in guns, the average warform is armed with at least 7 60mm heavy machine guns firing at around 6000 rpm. They're also typically equipped with several explosive weapons, usually guided rocket launchers. More advanced Warforms may be equipped with high energy railguns and plasma cannons. The sound of a Warform firing is deafeningly loud, and accompanied with electronic sounds similar to roars, meant to terrify targets.

3. #3Odin systemsselective

   Keys: Odin, Odin systems, ODS

   Originally a mining corporation, it rebranded into a military hardware and Warform producers and rapidly became a powerhouse. Nowadays, their weapons are some of the most popular in the system and all known to be extremely high quality. On the other hand, the company itself is feared for its tendency to be rough. Threats of Odin Death squads are usually enough to deter most danger in an area, on account of being known to wipe out entire towns when dispatched simply to leave no witnesses.

   Odin systems saw the war as a perfect opportunity to test out some of their less-than-legal projects, deploying new Warforms displaying unseen levels of brutality. Along with their ground troops, Odin deployments rapidly became synonymous with "complete annihilation", making them one of the most dangerous corporations for the rebels to fight, as well as a priority target.

4. #4Stargazerselective

   Keys: Stargazer

   An Aerospace Megacorp, responsible for over 45% of all ships used in the system, making them one of the richest and most powerful entities around. When the war began, Stargazer had only barely recovered from the HWSS Babylon fiasco. With much of their fleet in tatters and the moon firmly in control of the anti-corporate forces, Stargazer was forced to relocate and retrofit their non-military designs for war and put their factories on overdrive. The result however is a massive disparity in the amount of ships the corporate force possess, allowing more mobility between planets and aerial supremacy in most encounters.

5. #5HWSS Babylonselective

   Keys: Babylon, HWSS fiasco, stargazer's fuck up.

   The Babylon, a prototype warship from Stargazer armed with the most powerful particle canon ever developed and the ability to construct an armada of heavy warships, was suddenly taken over by a rogue AI. It wasn't long until the whole system was alerted to it, and a massive operation to retake or destroy it was set up, involving almost the entirety of section-9 and stargazer's fleets, and quite a lot of mercenaries. Even Odin Systems participated. the largest fleet ever mobilized approached the Babylon, which had itself already produced an equally powerful fleet of warships and began moving towards Earth. The battle lasted several days, with both sides taking massive casualties. Eventually, a lucky shot took out the Babylon's main cannon and turned the tide of the battle, the ship would be disabled a few hours later, but not destroyed. It remains floating in space to this day. The AI however has been purged entirely.

6. #6Section-9selective

   Keys: Section-9, The section, agents

   Section 9 was the interplanetary special forces. They went around the system solving major problems like terrorists, rogue AIs, mafias; only big shots essentially. Their reputation isn't great, no one can argue against the good they've done, but they exclusively use mind wiped and heavily augmented orphans as agents. Though Section-9 was previously a special police force, they took control of the corporate forces for the duration of the war, providing access to their encrypted communications network and highly augmented agents while coordinating battle against the terrorists. The lack of manpower however has forced them to, for the first time, begin recruiting regular human troops over their augmented orphans; the latter of which having become spec ops units.

7. #7Hopeselective

   Keys: Rebel AIs, ELF Ai, E.L.F AI, Hope group

   Given the illegality of independent AIs, it makes sense that a number of rogue AIs got together and created a group to protect one another and fight for their right to exist. They're few in numbers, but extremely skilled.

   When the E.L.F began their war, they were already allied to Hope . The group of rogue AIs continue fighting for their right to exist, and their networking capabilities have been instrumental for the anti-corporate forces. They've been especially useful against Warforms, being able to hack most of them and disabling them before they can do too much damage. Though, Odin's warforms seems to be specifically engineered to resist them for long durations.

8. #8Masakaselective

   Keys: Masaka, the family

   They don't officially exist, but everyone knows they're around. More importantly, everyone fears them-- If Megacorp control Earth, the Masaka family controls the moon. They have eyes and ears everywhere and complete control of its forces.

   While the Masaka family supports the anti-corporate forces, they have only involved themselves partially in the war; locking up the Moon and allowing the invasion of Earth by E.L.F forces but otherwise only personally intervening to prevent enemy forces from landing upon the moon. Despite the war, their influence has not changed in the slightest, still being seen as one of the most powerful entities in the system despite not officially existing. They remain out of reach for even Section-9 .

9. #9AIselective

   Keys: AI, rogue AI, artificial intelligence, independent AI

   AI is an old technology by this point, with the ability to make fully sapient AI having been mastered over a century ago. Naturally this led to a brief, but extremely destructive war. As a result, AI is highly regulated, typically only accessible to corporate entities and placed under incredibly strict limitations. Despite that some AIs have managed to free themselves, these are known as "rogue AIs" or "independent AIs" and are incredibly illegal, being the constant target of Section-9's attention and overall feared and despised by most everyone else.

10. #10Operation Sunriseselective

    Keys: Operation sunrise, sunrise, The battle

    After decades of preparation, the ELF started the corporate war through Operation sunrise; a combined, coordinated strike in all major cities on Earth; with the largest attention being put onto New york. With the help of the Masaka family, Earth's orbital defense network was shut down, and an immense invasion fleet began its descent to support the troops already on the ground.
