The Outer Rim Alliance pledge
Welcome to the Outer Rim Alliance, a growing force of good in these dire times. One of the few groups, if not the only one, able to reverse the spiral of destruction that plagued our Sector since the Great Collapse. Let go of your worldly possessions, give them to the Alliance and in exchange we will give you a purpose. Become an agent of reconstruction rather than destruction, and strive to build a better world, together. When a group of refugees found the means to stave off the slow decay of the sector in the form of a working Terraformer ship, they founded the Outer Rim Alliance. A strong-willed but open pact between worlds that don't see a future for themselves among the other warring factions. The greater good prevails in the Alliance, sometimes at the cost of displacing the entire worlds population. But everyone in the Alliance is bound by the same purpose, and the alliance has a purpose for everyone.
Gameplay
This is a high-tech faction almost entirely composed of broadsider ships. As high tech ships, they mostly rely on energy weapons with a few missiles sprinkled here and there. They favor deliberate fleet tactics, using their numerous weapon emplacements to pummel their enemies with long-range artillery fire, with a few high damage short-range guns to fend off those that managed to get close. Somewhat slow by nature, they usually rely on dense formations of cruisers with heavy fighter support to keep the enemy at range. While not the flashiest, those ships are reliable and dependable.
On the campaign layer, the Outer Rim Alliance occupies a large cluster of systems with a solid industrial base and a rich history to discover.
