 The {{faction:yamatai:flag_of_yamatai.png?25&nolink|}} [[faction:Yamatai Star Empire]] is a technologically-advanced transhuman empire with most of the population using biological android bodies.

-In stark contrast, The {{nepleslia:nespleslian_flag.png?25&nolink|}} [[faction:Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia]] is a gritty cyberpunk nation of humans, cyborgs, and mutants that deals with high crime in its megacities. Mixing of genetic material from super-solider programs has resulted in muscular half-breeds and a population that is considerably more male than female. Nepleslia has a space navy and space marines. It was previously part of Yamatai, but it rebelled and gained its independence a little more than a decade ago.+In stark contrast, The {{faction:nepleslia:nespleslian_flag.png?25&nolink|}} [[faction:Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia]] is a gritty cyberpunk nation of humans, cyborgs, and mutants that deals with high crime in its megacities.
