Factions

The Resistance represents the last traces of freedom and democracy to survive global chaos known as The Big Mistake. The Resistance was months away from certain destruction when a coalition of engineers and hackers wired together the free world's computers to create advanced war machines called host stations. The faction is responsible for pioneering various high-technology inventions such as the plasma formation technologies or the Stoudson Bomb. Their primary headquarters are located in Britain, whereas their remaining forces and contested territories are dispersed throughout Western Europe.

Drones are a tutorial faction that appears in the Resistance tutorial training missions. They are developed by the Resistance to be used as target practice dummies in their secret training sanctuary. The Drones possess the identical command chain and control system as the host stations.

The Ghorkov is a militaristic police state that supports totalitarianism and communism ideologies. They possess many futuristic and state-of-the-art vehicle designs and weaponry for rapid-response actions, including the extensive application of radiation-based Electromagnetic Impulse energy weapon technologies. They are also notorious for their persistent efforts at maintaining their existence on the surface. The Ghorkovs had emerged from Eastern Europe after the Big Mistake, and they are also known as the Kyterneser. Their expansive influence and territories stretch across the entire Eurasia.

The Taerkasten Order is a fanatical brotherhood with occult mysticism and Neo-Luddite doctrines. Their vehicle designs are chiefly reminiscent of the World Wars equipment with reinforced technologies in the advanced armament development. They have esoteric cult formations in Southern Europe and Africa with a theocratic hierarchy system resembling a masonic fraternal organisation and a monastic military order. The Taerkasts had originated in Central and Northern Europe. They had subsequently escaped to their current territories after their dreadful encounter with the Mykonians to protect Earth.

The Mykonian is an extraterrestrial, imperialistic invader group who disdain humanity for damaging a precious planet. They view Earth as a battery and implant the Parasite Machine to harvest energy from the Earth's core. All Mykonian vehicles are ionocraft armed with ion cannons, and polygonal shapes are the result of their bio-vein construction, which forms in crystalline symmetry in zero-gravity space. The Mykonians are typically located in Northern Europe and Scandinavia, where the optimal cooling temperatures and assimilated environments facilitate their superconductive machine operations.

The Sulgogar is a vegetative, bionic off-world species whose powers reside in biotechnology, genetic manipulation, and cloning. The Sulgogars hope to claim Earth and its scarce remaining surface ocean as a spawning ground, but their numbers are few and they are rarely encountered. All Sulgogars vehicles use particle beam. The Sulgogars initially migrated into the Earth's deep ocean shortly before the Big Mistake, where they had remained hidden and undetected for a long time. They despise humanity for causing the environmental collapse and pollution, which destroy their habitats in the process.

The Black Sect is a mysterious confederation whose true identity is unknown. Having only a few original assets, the Black Sect can gain access to various war machines from the other factions through their extensive intelligence and espionage network. All Black Sect vehicles linked to their Anvil-class host station battle network are rendered invisible on radar, thanks to its stealth projection module. They have bases of operations surrounding the Black Sea. Their true origin could be traced back to the earliest European secret societies, with all the requisite branches into the royal families.
