Ixion Federation_001

The Federation are as close to human as we are now, very limited genetically modification, however cybernetics are common place. They are a neutral faction for all intents and purposes and fight for their own goals often the pursuit of recourse and expanded territory. They are one of the few survival colonial states to stave off a Shakti invasion after they refused to comply to having cloning facilities places on their worlds (few at the time) however due to their location in the galaxy they are landlocked between over colonial states some of which they have taken over other still at war with and even allies with some. The Ixion Federation is terms of technology would be considered underdeveloped however through "acquiring" other factions technologies they have been creative in extrapolating the useful and making it practical albeit watered down due to scarceness. The Shaki has long since dismissed them as nothing more than a pest and that the Ixion themselves no better than to step on the Principality's sleeping tail. Although in return to their earlier war earned them respect of the Aldus confederacy however due to the little strategic value of their location kind words are all that have been shared.

However in recent times the Ixion Federation commands a large portion of space if not at times not directly. They rely mainly on trade through proxies and are shrewd merchants. While the their military prowess as earlier stated may be considered crude. They capable of hit and run and feint attacks to pull away larger threats so they can hit their targets with precision and in relative safety.

However a somewhat less known fact and that was instrumental to fending of the Shakti during their war was that a Original Nephilim army was found and enlisted on the promises to produce haste of a massive scale earning the Federations its only Nephilim army and battlegroup. This piece of information is kept fairly secret as if even the Federation knows without secrecy the Confederacy would soon come to exterminate them for the very reason of their terms of service. The Shakti of course are aware of this fact but know the Aldus taking up residence in their backyard would not be a wise move.

To date this Nephilim army has only been deployed a twice, during the war against the Shakti and again against the Athenian hierarchy after discovering they had lost Athenian technology (stolen) to the Zodiac Court which led to the development of their infamous armies of homunculi, later the Athenians came after them leading to a brutal war where the Athenians first came truly out of the shadows, only to return again once any trace of their technology in the courts hands had been wiped clean, yet some was unfound but the Court has not been in place to expand their borders since.
