In Vendetta Online, there are three playable factions, or nations. They are the Serco, Itani, and UIT. There are also many non-playable Factions, such as Corvus and TPG.

Serco

SkyCommand (Capital)
Prime Command (Capital)

The Serco (SIR-ko) are a proud race of people, a race many people fear. This fear is not without reason, many fear them because of the immense power they have, both in their ships and in their bodies. If there is one thing the Serco are good at it is genetics and cybernetic implants. Over the years the Serco have been improving themselves both genetically and with the aid of robotics to make themselves stronger, faster, and smarter. Their life-span has increased dramatically due to these modifications.
The Serco are currently at war with the Itani, a war which the Serco claim never ended. They were the first to use capital class ships in battle. Although currently all attempts to invade Itani space have been suspended, there are rumors that the Serco will soon be using their capital class ships again soon.

The special ship of the Serco reflects the power they hold. The Prometheus is an impressive ship to say the least. It has the most armor of any ship of its class, 2 small weapons slots and 1 large weapon slot.

Itani

Armand's Dilligence (Capital)
Eo's Path (Capital)

The Itani (It-ah-nee) are an advanced race who since their escape from Sol II have spent their time learning about space travel and various other sciences. Thousands of years of exploration have allowed them to colonize 10 systems of space, giving them the largest empire out of all the other races. Peaceful by nature the Itani prefer to discuss their problems rather than fight, but the war with the Serco has changed their ways of dealing with others and they are now willing to fight to defend themselves and their nation.
Being a technologically advanced people, the Itani have developed ways to interact with their ships via their mind. This form of control has allowed them to have greater control of their ships, allowing maneuvers that would have never been possible before to be performed simply by thinking.
The pride of the Itani nation is the Valkyrie. A light, fast, and agile fighter, the Valkyrie is unmatched in combat. Three small ports give this ship its bite, and its amazingly fast acceleration make it untouchable.

Union of Independent Territories

Dau Senate (Capital)
Aroan Executive (Capital)
Previously known as the NT (Neutral Territories), the UIT are exactly as their name suggests: independent. Although it is not unusual to find citizens of the UIT allying themselves with either the Itani or the Serco, they generally choose not to help either side. The UIT are allowed to fly in the space of any nation (so long as they have done nothing to anger that nation).

Traders by nature, the UIT have developed a unique ship designed almost entirely to transport cargo, the Marauder. With a spacious cargo hold of up to 60 cargo units and the highest acceleration of a ship of its class it is no wonder why so many people choose to fly it. Many of the NPC Factions, including TPG and Axia are also under the banner of the UIT.
