The Unaligned Worlds are more of a category than a faction, composed of all those bands, nations and planets who refuse to recognize anyone elses authority, lying somewhere in the spectrum between absolute liberty and absolute anarchy. | The Unaligned Worlds are more of a category than a faction, composed of all those bands, nations and planets who refuse to recognize anyone elses authority, lying somewhere in the spectrum between absolute liberty and absolute anarchy. | ||

During the Eight Planetwars the Ascended, lead by Valhalla, utterly crushed their opponents and conquered the galaxy by brute force, with only the Free Machines and unaligned holding on to any resistance. The True Born and Empire were all but destroyed, and the campaigns of forced mind upload and cybernetic alteration practically drove unaltered humanity into extinction. | During the Eight Planetwars the Ascended, lead by Valhalla, utterly crushed their opponents and conquered the galaxy by brute force, with only the Free Machines and unaligned holding on to any resistance.

But the strength of the Ascended fell as their leaders, the Valhalla, waned in power, and the factions rose again in the Ninth Planetwars. It seemed that the Free Machines may finally throw off their yoke, and end humanity permanently, but a new empire and the last human worlds rose again at the edges of the galaxy, and formed an alliance to fight the machines. In those final days, the machines even made common cause with the ascended, but the empire managed to capture the ancient artifacts, great beacons made to control the robotic armies that waged the Planetwars. This new pro-human Empire would go on to establish its dominion over the whole galaxy. | But the strength of the Ascended fell as their leaders, the Valhalla, waned in power, and the factions rose again in the Ninth Planetwars.

The genetically enhanced noble houses of the Dynasty regained their dominant position during the Eleventh Planetwars, bringing under their control many of the old independent human colonies. Now they continue to assert the dominance of man over machine, furthering their research programs in an effort to place humans on an equal - nay, superior - footing with their synthetic creations. | The genetically enhanced noble houses of the Dynasty regained their dominant position during the Eleventh Planetwars, bringing under their control many of the old independent human colonies.
