NATIONS
Ontario Government United
Members: Rasputin Sigma, Gen. Markus Julian Kane
Ontario United is the oldest and most developed nation in the galaxy. Its soldiers are well-trained and prepared for war. The story of this government's existance started when America's economic status dropped in the Second Global Depression in 3051. Despite this world-wide loss, Canada's government was able to pull through with newly-developed technology. "Builds" were safe, personal starships that could travel at high speeds. Global success was soon found before the world ran out of resources. Completely out of options, Canada led the "New World" project, and headed for the planet "BETA CV-1," also known as "Eartha." Ever since, the Nation of Ontario Government United has been influencing the control of the entire galaxy under the Parliamentary mechanism.
HQ: Lunar Federation
The Lunar Federation is the second largest city on the nation's planetary base. Ranging about about a couple hundred miles from its northern pole, the capital serves at a steady income rate and well-balanced management. The Prime Minister himself resides in this area, guarded by the best and most experienced pilots to ever grace the stars.
Other cities: Edmonton, Victoria, Winnipeg, Fredericton, St. John's, Halifax, Charlottetown, Quebec City, Regina, Yellowknife, Iqualuit and Whitehorse.
Leader: Prime Minister and Gen. Edward Toronto
Edward Toronto was born during the years of development on "Builds." He reached the status of a leader through parliament and has ruled OGU ever since. At the most, he blames himself for the war and feels that the general population have separated from him due to their inability to choose their leader. He is a strict and limiting commander, thinking only of the next won battle, but there is still a spot in his heart for the responsibility he assigned himself.
Pros
Good system of government. Some control, but guaranteed several freedoms and rights.
Well-prepared and trained. Lots of good stats from the start.
Cons
Government has more control over your actions and cuts down rights of alien-humanoids.
Members are well-trained, but do not have skills/experience in real war.

Dallas Resistance Force
Members: Quote Proto, Jacob Kondas
The DRF, also known as the Anti-Parliamentary Dallas Resistance Force, started when ex-patriots felt that the same govermental structure used in the United States was necessary to survive in these new ages. As they attempt to gain independence, however, the OGU has attempted to restrain these new founders of Americaa. War was then declared between the two nations, and the feud soon began. "Builds" were now used for wars. DRF soon created a headquarters to lead against the old parliament.
HQ: Solar Alamo
The Solar Alamo was established shortly after the nation was formed. Currently dependant on non-mainstream market to store supplies, the independant marketing industry has thrived under DRF culture, making taxes a small issue. The people of DRF are supportive folk with burning desires for freedom, as their ancestors made their breakaway that millenia (and so on) ago. They reside on a moon revolving around Eartha, blocking any tracking and making their mobile base hard to find.
Other Cities: Austin, Houston, San Antonio
Leader: President Houston Xyr
The leader of the Dallas Rebel Force is actually an alien-humanoid. Trusting the army under the command of General Samuel Banshee, Houston maintains the popular interest of expressed, personal freedom while keeping good management with the help of two other branches that control other aspects of the nation. While being a popular and surprisingly non-hostile person to talk to, Xyr shows deep content over the unfair treatment he recieved before he broke off from OGU.
Pros
Best government system in terms of freedom. Lots of rights, and minimum management of the government.
Rough skills in actual war and high fighting spirits, despite little training room. Very low taxes.
Cons
Little training from the start. Stats aren't optimal from the beginning.
Minimum funding and parts.

Sapporo Empire Party
Members:
The Sapporo Empire Party began shortly after the DRF was formed. The system involves a modern-age empire and is the newest nation among the three. The party started as an ally for the OGU against the DRF, but when the terms were declined, the nation became its own team, striking against both sides in an attempt to control the galaxy in a feudal manner. The king of the empire-to-be provides most of the funding for the military branch at the cost of high taxes.
HQ: Nebular Kamakura
Labelled as the strongest, yet weakest economy in the war, the Nebular Kamakura shines as a towering and majestic center of power where the population of the Empire thrives underground. The entire structure of the HQ is structured to protect the people underground with a shielded dome, the central tower being the focused point of energy. The base resides on another moon that revolves around Eartha, however, the government of the city is so confident in its protective layer that it does not bother hiding in cowardice.
Other Cities: Osaka
Leaders: Shogun/Prime Minister Toroko Yamazaki and Gen. King Osaka
The co-existance of these two leaders crumbles even as we speak. General King Osaka was a loyal servant of Prime Minister Toroko until a lust for power and leadership has somewhat altered his direction of focus. When Toroko appointed Osaka to be the government's General, Osaka graciously accepted the position and even held a friendly relationship with The Prime Toroko. Issues concerning the war have pressed the men into heated arguments, the two men are now struggling for power and control over the capital.
Pros
Great training and experience in war.
Great funding and parts are plentiful.
Cons
Government has absolute control. Verging on dictatorship.
Very expensive parts and training.
CLASSES
When you start, you will choose a headquarters to side with. Depending on which of these nations you take, you can either be a Cowboy, Knight or Samurai. Make your choice wisely and consider the benefits of each nation.
DRF: Space Cowboy/Pirate
OGU: Space Knight/Viking
SEP: Space Samurai/Ninja
BUILDS
These spacecrafts were originally designed by the OGU. However, these Builds are all produced by the parties of the war.
A-Build: Aerial Ace
Everyone knows of the Ace. It's popular, fast and agile. Its focus is purely speed and strength at the cost of light armor. It holds average fuel consumption, making long distances a slight consideration.
B-Build: Bombing Berserker
A well-balanced Build, the Berserker specializes in bombing targets from above. The first in OGU's Builds, it carries more stories than the others combined. Fuel consumption is better than the Ace, making long distances a tiny worry in terms of combat.
C-Build: Cataclysmic Carrier
The Carrier has been thought of as more of a tank than a jet, but its large surplus of ammo and fuel make it an ominous ship to encounter. Manned by robotic assistance, the bulky ship provides fuel and ammo to other ships, making them very essential and powerful in combat. Although slow, these have very powerful weapons. The only problem is fuel consumption due to heavy armor, making them very expensive.
D-Build: Defensive Dodger
Not a fighter, the Dodger has proven to be useful in the battlefield with healing technologies. Its weapons use nanobytes to repair friends in danger, making them light and essential. The ships have the lowest fuel consumption and is the lightest spacecraft behind the front lines.
E-Build: Elusive Exorcist
The opposite of Dodger, the Exorcist is a fast ship that holds a frightening magic. It is capable of hacking other ships and rendering them vulnerable. It's title, "H@cker," quickly demonstrates the effect it has on other pilots. It has proven to be useful in tight spots, but its high fuel consumption make them risky and require fast and gifted pilots.
Notes:
*If you lose track of whatever, it's not a big deal. Just decide on an accurate number and move on. Be sure to post that you forgot.
*This is basically a version of a Fight topic, only with more RPG and spacecrafts.
*I will introduce more art when I have time.
*Under no circumstances do I intend to invoke offense to any individual of any country. Please excuse me if I do offend you, and I am well aware of Japan's governmental structure.
*Why yes, I am developing a comic, thanks very much.
*It's up to you if you support it, but you can put this in:
