The list is:
Main / House forces:
- Gallia (did a huge buildup of forces over many years)
- Liberty (largest standing army on the Sirius side)
- Rheinland (Militaristic nation, significant standing forces and equipment left over from the Nomad war buildup).
- Kusari (Used to occupy spot 3, but suffered severe losses at the hands of Gallia)
- Bretonia (Suffered consecutive losses at the hands of Kusari and Gallia)
Smaller groups in relative order of strength. NONE of these have the capability to directly threaten or challenge a house navy in a war of attrition:
- Corsairs (the entire nation is geared around spacetravel and general brigandry)
- Outcasts (smaller standing forces then the Corsairs, but on average with higher skilled pilots)
- Council (not a significant force in comparison to the various standing Sirian armies)
- Hessians (Focused on Rheinland, but holding a significant amount of Omega space)
- Nomads/Wilde (While individually stronger, the Nomads lack the numbers to take most factions headon)
- BHG Core (Mainly hunting for tech in the Omicrons)
- Order (Took a crushing blow at Minor)
- Coalition (Barely able to be called a military threat in terms of a standing navy)
Anything not listed here is simply insignificant in military terms. This includes most unlawful factions. Doesn't mean they can't do damage... just means they won't be conquering entire planets or bases.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
