New Faction! The Orcs need an ally, otherwise, us folks are gonna plow through them.

Faction name: The Order of the Void

Home Planet: Unknown if they even have one

Ruler: Unknown if they even have one

Allies: Orcish Federation, though this is simply an alliance of convenience

Specialty: Stealth. None of the starships, vehicles or citizens of The Order of the Void that have been encountered didn't have a cloaking device. Their entire system, entire combat strategy, entire culture is based on the use of stealth. None have ever seen what a member of this species looks like. When they are seen, they are either in a full suit of sleek black and purple body armor, or disguised as another species. Highly intelligent and great at deception, this species is used to great effect as spies and assassins. It is believed that members of The Order have been seeded throughout the Humans, Elves, and Dwarves alike. And only once has a spy been discovered. When the spy attempted to escape, it was shot by an Elven battle rifle and killed. But instead of coming out of disguise, it disintegrated into black specks and vanished.

Race Standards: The Order of the Void has no known leader, no known command structure, and no known occupied systems. Their origin amongst the stars is unknown, what they look like is unknown, even the Orcs know basically nothing of this species. They appeared in monstrous starships above Utumna one day. This in and of itself was a shock, as these craft were able to completely bypass the intense security measures in place there. The Order of the Void appear to be nomadic in nature, as according to them, they were roaming the stars before the Human species had even mad a map,  much less forged a stellar empire. It is true that their technology is more advanced than basically everyone else's. They use no torpedoes, no railguns, no massdrivers, and no atomic laser batteries. They use complex plasma projection systems for maximum ranged laser efficency. The Order claims that they have no home, as thousands of years ago they were locked in an epic war with another species they called the Aethernauts. While The Order of the Void won the war, it came at the cost of most of their civilization. The remnants of the species constructed truly massive starships called Genesis Arks, and they seek out wars happening between interstellar species so as to choose a side and cause a war that will wipe out either side. The more deaths they cause, the more power they store. And when they store enough power, they can bring about "The Genesis of the Void".
