Thousands of years ago a vagrant band of humans settled on a world in the outer rim and called it Terra Nova. Over time the expanded through the sector and soon the Terran split in two. This civil war lasted for many years and eventually another faction arose. Now three separate Terran empires remain.
- The Terran Republic: The original government of the Terrans, in a manner of speaking. The Republic has experienced much internal strife through out its existence and the peace with the other two empires is the most calm the nation has experienced since the hight of the original Terran expansion.
-The Terran Conglomerate: Seeking greater freedom than the strictures of the militaristic Republic, the Conglomerate rebelled and gained control of the greatest amount of space but not the most systems. They value personal strength and the ability to use it. They are strong willed and are the only empire to not have their capital breached by external forces.
-The Terran Sovereignty: An elitist society that values the advancement of art and science above all other aspects of life. The Sovereign rules absolutely and those who oppose him do not stay in a position to do so very long. They have the most advanced technology of any of the empires. However the also control the fewest systems in turn.
