Edit: Came up with some explanations for that map:

Bora Miners - organization that emerged and spread from the Bora System. The loose confederation of the miners that were unhappy inside the ranks of the former First Republic. They are however widespread organization that fills the empty spaces of the major corporations.

Subfactions: None.

Friendly: none.
Hostile: The Guild.


The Confederacy - one of three bodies that emerged after fall of the First Republic. They maintain the friendly relation with the Second Republic, whilst being neutral between territorial disputes between Second Republic and the Sereis League, they feel some hostility against the latter.

Subfactions: Confederated Military Fleet, Confederated Special Forces, Siln Space Engineering, Impala-Misani Mining Corporation, Syntech Foods, Misani Technologies.

Friendly: Second Republic.
Hostile: Toran Horde.


The Guild - the major yet independant corporation that specializies in mining and gas extraction. They are the major rival of (unofficially backed by Second Republic) Bora Miners. Their remote position allows them to be in safety from the core systems, the lack of riftgate is also a big flaw however.

Friendly: none.
Hostile: Bora Miners.


Paktu Republic - the smallest political body on the map of whole sector. While their influence spans only around their own star, their indepedence is a key to preserve the formal neutrality and peace. They are in possession of the most crucial riftgates those span into multiple directions.

Subfactions: Paktu Trade Alliance.

Friendly: none.
Hostile: none.


Silver Empire - formerly the Iraia Kingdom, the only factual monarchy of the sector (aside of independent Naoran System). They are the most militarized yet the least warmonger nation, being more a guardian to the core systems. They are at war with Toran Horde.

Subfaction: Imperial Star Navy, Silver Ores Manufacturing, Brath Extraction & Exports, Andora-Inevi Conglomerate.

Friendly: none.
Hostile: Toran Horde.


Second Republic - one of three bodies that emerged after fall of the First Republic. They are more fond of the military traditions that date back to the First Republic, being rather displeased by more conservative and social-classed Sereis League. They disregard the actions of The Veil as well, making them persona non grata in their space.

Subfactions: Republican Navy, Cult of One, Republican Mining and Manufacturing, Liberty Travels, Valiant Shipyards.

Friendly: The Confederacy.
Hostile: The Veil, Sereis League.


Sereis League - one of three bodies that emerged aftert fall of the First Republic. Openly opposed to any form of traditionalism, they based their political system onto classes, in which every citizen is member of the one social class. They have constant cassus belli towards Second Republic. They maintain neutrality against The Veil.

Subfactions: Sereis Police, League Military, Chisuma Corporate Dome, Asakka Orbital Facilities, Raval Shipping.

Friendly: none.
Hostile: Second Republic.


Toran Horde - little is known about the Horde. Despite the remoteness of their homeworld, they are in possession of the riftgate which leads straight into Silver Empire territory. While not being well-armed, their vast numbers are frightful. Lacking the one governing body, they rely on system of clans.

Friendly: none.
Hostile: Everyone else except The Guild.


The Veil - the mysterious para-military organization created by unknown founder. While not being at war with any serious force, they maintain duties as the bounty hunters. They fulfill simple escort duties, but sometimes The Veil organize the major assaults onto criminal and Toran bases.

Friendly: None.
Hostile: Toran Horde, Criminals.

Northern Riftgate - an anomaly linking two systems, known as Liberty and Draha. In the past, it was major colonial route for the First Republic into far reaches of the sector. For now, it is the mutual trade route for both Confederacy and the Second Republic.

Paktu Nexus - three anomalies found in the Paktu System. This made this neutral system the center of all trade inside the sector. It was left to the neutral to all Paktu Republic to prevent possible tensions between the nations.

Southern Riftgate - the recently found "highway" between Toran Horde and Silver Empire. The first ones use the gate to harass both Confederacy and Empire's traders and all neutral vessels.

I don't know why I have done that. I like making maps. It's just... Random. :| I am suffering the major writing block, not able to write a single thing. Huh. (The strange numeration is caused by using the Shogi board as a template for the map.)

Oh well. I believe it was made to this:

kool.
why fllood? put it in Media Center.

also i like the blood splatter and want more of it.
Also remove the 2 things above of the manta and i think it will look better. I dont get it.

To be honest I like logo as it is, tried without that and believe it doesn't look good... for me, at last.

I think it would be better without them, however upsize the manta, put it in the middle then add the blood effect on it too.

You do realize this is MS Paint and I can't resize that? However, updated it like that. Also, I'll need to make other ship on that. I do not believe "borrowing" of the vessel from a game is allowed (on the other hand, Polish version of Homeplanet's cover used station that does not appear in the game, Babylon 5...)

I like the name "The Veil". Sounds nice for some bountyhunting faction.

Added some info to kinda explain everything. It's funny how I make maps first, then look at it and create various stories to that.

They were... rather thought as something like Hogosha is to Samura. However, I may changed that, because as I mentioned before, I make maps, then do stories about them.

Don't tell me how to live my life :|
