The Remnants
Led by ex-US military General James Buchanan, The Remnants are the underdogs in this bleak future.

However, these cunning, low-tech resistance fighters are large in numbers and even more resourceful in their terrorist-like battle tactics.

The Ascension
Ascension leader Arlan Khan commands respect from his supporters, all of them highly intelligent and logical, yet ruthless exploiters of future technology such as transforming robotics. But where the Ascension obtained such tech remains unknown.

The Aliens
The alien invaders are desperate for a new planet to inhabit and draw resources from.

Masters of Bio-engineering and a completely mobile faction, they range from huge beasts to large swarms of small creatures.
