DETOURS LIBERATION FRONT: ------------------------- -- The Early Tribes that where shunned in the Empire creation and have since then forged the Detours Liberation Front (DLF) into a guerilla resistance movement to resist the advances by the Empire. They employ dirty tactics to level the playing field against the superior Empire. SPACE TRADERS: -------------- -- Independent guild of merchants, protected by the Emporer himself. They keep the galaxy working with their deliveries. GALACTIC PIRATES: -------- -- Space brought an entire new dimenstion to pirating. These outlaws attack any ship transporting anything of value with no regard nor respect to authority.
