Faction title: The Directorate

Type: Corporation

Signature Technologies: Corrosive plasma weapons, Cyberwarfare systems, cloaking devices

Info: A hyper-capitalist conglomerate of mutually competing corporations, Directorate ruled space is a paradise for the wealthy and a living hell for everyone else. Motivated solely by profit, the member corporations of the Directorate care nothing for morals or anything other than reusable assets and the latest technologies.

The military forces of the Directorate, much like its society, is suffused with this mentality. Each and every Security Fleet is in fact a private military corporation, hired on a contractual basis on the Corporate Military Index for whatever mission their employers deem worthwhile. Modelled to their executives’ whims, Directorate forces care only for their performance reviews and financial statements, and will use any and all means available to secure the desired outcome.

Those Security Fleets that employ ground units, often called Acquisition Groups, specialize either in asset retrieval (raids for slaves, technology and resources) or in takeover bids (the licensed seizure of territory on behalf of a corporation). Both will be conducted with callous disregard for the indigenous population who, if they have the misfortune of falling under Directorate rule, will be processed as "asset laborers": effectively slaves.

Acquisition Groups often make heavy use of air power, citing the psychological effect of "death from above" as being a valuable part of their terror campaigns. Cyberwarfare suites are regularly used to cripple opposition units mid-battle, often mounted on specialized drone and tank units. Other forces are more conventional, although as a general rule the Security Fleets will install as many automated systems as possible, partly to save on the cost of waged team members.

Incentivized by destruction targets, new assets to acquire, or just payment in general, the forces of the Directorate stand at the ready to sell their services to anyone in the Rin Civil War who is willing to pay for them. After all, it is a commonly known mantra of the Directorate: Profit through the misery of others.

Do you want me to put down some unit types, DD?
