The Systems Alliance is the representative body of Earth and all human colonies in Citadel space. Backed by Earth's most powerful nations, the Alliance has become humanity's military, exploratory, and economic spearhead. While the Alliance is relatively new to the galactic community, it has already made a name for itself, gaining humans an embassy on the Presidium.
The Alliance is governed by a parliament based at Arcturus Station, which also serves as the Alliance's capital.
ALLIANCE
We, the council, abide to maintain peace and keep order in the galaxy.
The Reapers are a highly-advanced machine race of synthetic-organic starships. The Reapers reside in dark space: the vast, mostly starless space between galaxies. They hibernate there, dormant for fifty thousand years at a time, before returning to the galaxy.
These giant machines are ancient; their true name is unknown. "Reapers" was a name bestowed by the Protheans, the previous galactic power fifty thousand years before, and the geth refer to them as the Old Machines. In the end, the Reapers spare little concern for whatever labels other races choose to call them, and merely claim that they have neither beginning nor end.
REAPERS
We have no beginning. We have no end. We are infinite.
Soullions are a united race of various beings, that once battled each other for Soullus. But ever since the rise of the Void Empire forces followed by the mysterious merceless Cyraknids and then the Chaos Plague, which exterminated the Cyraknids, the Federation joined forces to fight for the common good. It was only through using the Dragonov were the Soullions able to defeat the Chaos Plague and right their wrongs against each other.
The technology the Soullions possessed was given to by the Freemens, an ancient superhuman race, rumoured to have been defeated by the very Cyraknid race that the Freemens created. But the truth of the matter is that the Soullions and Freemens were actually the creations of the very Cyraknids themselves when Cyraknids were still ascended benevolent beings from the heavens before their unknown extinction. The cultural history behind the Soullion world is very rich and diverse.
FEDERATION
We are united under one Empire to defend order from chaos.

Cyraknids are an ancient alien species long extinct. They were genetically created by the Northern Freemens solely to win the internal Freemen war. But the creators failed to realize the Cyraknids were an experiment spelling doom. Ever since their existence, Cyraknids have not only defied their creators but also excelled them in technology, biologically and peaked in all forms of conquest. And so, came the Cyraknid wars.
Cyraknids quickly evolved into giants to dominate Space. Their ships are massive and proved formiddable to even the toughest dreadnoughts. While the Cyraknids defeated their creators. They are flawed to extinction due to a faulty master gene that deteriorated every generation, but not before doing battle with the Soullion Federation who resumed command to end the Cyraknid war. Initially, Cyraknids were a very peaceful race long ago that unknowingly became extinct, but the Freemens revived and experimented with their genetic structure... it didn't turn out very well.

The Dragonov is a bioweapons planet killer, joint researched by the Freemens and renegade Cyraknids. The truth is, the Cyraknids did not get eradicated from their genetic degeneration flaw alone, but they actually confronted and succumbed to another demonic species of abomination known as the Plague, rendering their ships into zombies. This lead to a small group of renegade Cyraknids to work covertly with the Freemens to defeat what would potentially draw across as the most deadliest and resillient species ever. While the Cyraknids were defeated by both the Soullions and Plague, the Soullion's new enemy became the satanic Plague that threatened their existense to extinction. And from there, the Daemon Wars begun. Miraculously was the Soullion Empire that they discovered the Dragonov at birth, as they use its blade of might and magic to defeat the extra-terrestrial Plague. As the Dragonov is a biological ship, it produces antibodies and transitive nanites immune to the Plague. The Plague affects both non-organic such as metal and organic entities.

The United Citizens’ Federation was forged in the fires of the Disorders, a time of violence and horror such as Earth had never known before, nor has it known since. At the end of 20th century, national governments of the world collapse because of so-called unlimited democracies. The North American Republic was brought down by raging illegal activity which took place all around the world, including Russia and the United Kingdom. Crime was at its peak for most of the second half of the 20th century, lasting up to the war between the Russo - Anglo - American Alliance and the Chinese Hegemony.After the collapse of national governments, a group of veterans in Aberdeen, Scotland formed a vigilante group to stop rioting and looting and decide to only allow veterans to join their committee due to a mistrust of politicians. This contingency plan became routine after a couple of generations, and this group of vigilantes was the start of the United Citizen Federation.

The Arachnids were originally believed to be mindless creatures. They have the ability to colonize planets "by hurling their spore into space" and possess a social structure which fits their mental capabilities.As the Arachnid War progressed, it became clear that they have a caste system, with each subspecies filling a specific role.
As the United Citizen Federation expanded its territory across the Galaxy, it came into contact with the Arachnid Species covering an area of it. The Federation initially considered the Arachnids to be a less advanced civilization, however, to avoid conflict, the region of space the Arachnids had colonized was Quarantined to prevent any humans settling within it. Despite this unofficial colonies were created, on Arachnid planets often ending in the Arachnid attacks of these poorly defended colonies leading to massacres such as at Port Joe Smith. In response to these intrusions into Arachnid colonies, the Arachnids launched an Meteor Attack on Buenos Aires.This led to the Bug War, and the Second Bug War.
In the darkest reaches of infinite space, pure evil lies in wait ... Dark Forces are led by the god of destruction. Possessing unstoppable power, the Dark Forces assemble a massive space armada in an effort to conquer the dominion and the Universe into total war and complete annihilation.
As part of a counter-offensive to the oncoming threat the United Gradius World Forces gather all their fighter craft. The Vic Viper being one of the Gradius elite army engages the assailants in space, tipping the scales of fate of the Universe...

Predecessors to the modern Thing, it was rumoured that the first evolution of the Thing dated back hundreds of millions of years ago, which during that time was when the Freemen and Soullion Empire exhaustedly battled this abomination to near extinction (The Daemon Wars).
The true origin of this entity is unknown. But according to legend, the Freemens were experimenting with space/time warp to compete against the Cyraknid's lethal interdimensional warp technology, and in the attempt brought back an event horizon of chaos that was believed to have come from the deepest shores hell. The experiment transported 3 Freemen capital ships in a miscalculated time/space interdimensional continuum. They disappeared for years until later on...
The first ship exited the experimental warp and suddenly started to infect other allied ships, organic and inorganic, thus spreading like a virus. The victory landed on quarantining the massive infected fleet and space jumping them into a nearby star using a massive ploy of sacrificial Freemen ships as bait to save the many uninfected.
The second ship exited the experimental warp some decades later when the primitive Soullions entered the space age and rid their territory of remaining Cyraknid threats, only to be confronted by this threatening Plague with deadly force, which led to the Daemon Wars. This war ended with the huge desperate search for the Dragonov which tipped the scales of battle and casting a channeled gateway to seal the abomination threat.
It is unknown when the third ship will exit or has exited the experimental warp and may be drifting in dead space for hundreds of millions of years… until what may be known to have evolved as the modern Thing today.

OTHER RACES
...
Other races and classes have joined the Space Battles. While their numbers are too small to have a race category of their own, they are nonetheless a valuable battle asset to any other major race who chose to use them in the conquest of the space domain and the Universe.
ELITE SHIPS
...
Elite ships are classified as special units that are exceptionally expensive with special skills and can outmatch any other stock ship of their own class. Some elite ships may even outclass other ships of higher classes. While elite ships are not invincible, they place a large advantage over the space battlefield.
There are dreadnoughts and there are SUPER dreadnoughts. Super dreadnoughts are extremely expensive, heavily armoured, oversized hull of destructive force that can potentially obliterate an entire enemy fleet single-handedly. While super dreadnoughts are generally superior on all forms of battle, they can be easily overwhelmed by overestimation and witty arrogance. Using super dreadnoughts tactically with the correct elements can quickly end the battle flawlessly.

The geth are a race of networked artificial intelligences that reside beyond the Perseus Veil. The geth were created by the quarians as laborers and tools of war. When the geth became sentient and began to question their masters, the quarians attempted to exterminate them. The geth won the resulting war, and reduced the quarians to a race of nomads.The history of the geth's creation and evolution serves as a warning to the rest of the galaxy of the potential dangers of artificial intelligence and to the legally enforced, systematic repression of artificial intelligences throughout galactic society.
