Faction: The Hegemony

• Aging political structure that currently rules most of the galaxy

• Highly bureaucratic

• Powerful ships and structures but are extremely old and poorly kept due to lack of funding

For as long as anyone can remember, The Hegemony has ruled the galaxy. Several planets simultaneously developed FTL travel, resulting in a quick alliance that allowed their joint forces to quickly expand and dominate. Lately, however, the edges of The Hegemony have begun to fray. What was once a prosperous empire, with state of the art ships and equipment, is now showing its age. Hegemony ships litter, sometimes literally, the galaxy, frozen time capsules of a long gone era. Unable to support such an enormous territory uniformly, they have begun to abandon properties and personnel, while still keeping a tight grip on the earliest acquisitions.
