However, the [[gray space]] of Vendetta is filled with independent stations that are not part of any of the 3 major nations. When you get high faction points, or 'standing', with these organizations, you can get certain benefits, such as special ships, special equipment, and reduced license level requirements.

===Itani===

==TPG Corporation==

The [[Itani]] are a supposedly peaceful, religious group of people. They fled from Sol II (mankind's original homeworld in this quadrant of space) after a long and arduous war with the [[Serco]]. Some technophobic and xenophobic elements still remain in contemporary Itani society and some militant groups (including the infamous [[Order of Akan]]) still keep up the old hatreds.
Largest corporate member of the [[Nations|Union of Independent Territories]]. Also the most powerful and well-known organization in the UIT, surpassing even the government Senate. TPG Corp originally allowed the people of the UIT to escape from Serco Prime, through the creation of the original UIT spacecraft. Today they are the largest manufacturer of spacecraft in the known universe, maintaining diplomatic and technological relations with both the Serco and Itani. Founded in the distant past by a group of free-thinking dreamers and hopeful engineers, TPG has managed to keep their innocence more than most of the other UIT corporations. They are by far the most morally upstanding of the UIT members, often railing against the corporate warfare, feuding and espionage which has become so commonplace in the Union.

==BioCom Industries==

[[Image:Station_Sol_II-I13.png|thumb|Prime Command, Serco Capital]]
BioCom is a relative startup in the UIT corporate family. Founded not long after the historic Serco request of diplomatic relations with the UIT in [[VO_Backstory#AD_4346|AD4346]], BioCom was created by a group of scientists who acquired access to Serco recent bio-engineering and implantation technology. More recently, they have diversified into other areas, combining their bio-engineering and implantation expertise with the AI and robotics knowledge of Valent Robotics. Little is known of the fruits of this rare cooperative effort between two UIT corporations, but all developments are shrouded in heavy secrecy and security.[http://design.vendetta-online.com/wiki/index.php?title=Organizations]

The [[Union of Independent Territories]] is a conglomeration of many subfactions, such as [[Axia Technology Corp|Axia]] and [[The Propeller Group|TPG]] under the leadership of the UIT Senate. Officially neutral in the Itani-Serco war, the UIT often sells to both sides - at a high profit.

The second-eldest of the UIT corporations, after TPG, was founded not long after the UIT left their planetary homes on Serco Prime to find a better life among the stars. Valent became an early pioneer in mining robotics and other mechanisms that were extrordinarily important during those first years of spaceborne colonization. More recently they've come to diversify heavily into a number of fields, including weapons research, but their primary bread-and-butter comes from semi-automated mining drone design. Rumors have persisted for several decades of an impressive cooperative project with BioCom. However, the two companies have been remarkably successful at keeping a lid on their activities.[http://design.vendetta-online.com/wiki/index.php?title=Organizations]

The universe of Vendetta Online is divided into three user-playable nations (the Itani, the Serco, and the UIT) and many smaller non-playable factions.

Major Factions (Nations)

Itani

Armand's Dilligence, Itani Capital

The Itani are a supposedly peaceful, religious group of people. They fled from Sol II (mankind's original homeworld in this quadrant of space) after a long and arduous war with the Serco. Some technophobic and xenophobic elements still remain in contemporary Itani society and some militant groups (including the infamous Order of Akan) still keep up the old hatreds.

Serco

Prime Command, Serco Capital

The Serco are a supposedly harsh, military, technophilic race. Famed for biotech and cybernetic technology, the Serco long ago mastered the art of transcending their frail human bodies. They are also reputed for their large capital ship-class ships. Even their smaller fighters, such as the Prometheus are heavily armored and armed.

Union of Independent Territories

Dau Senate, UIT Capital

The Union of Independent Territories is a conglomeration of many subfactions, such as Axia and TPG under the leadership of the UIT Senate. Officially neutral in the Itani-Serco war, the UIT often sells to both sides - at a high profit. UIT pilots enjoy the unique ability to go anywhere in the known universe, as long as they mantain good behavior.

UIT Subfactions

Independent Factions
