 Paranid ships are fast, powerful, and deadly.

+===== Sohnen =====
-The Pirates are people who don't want to conform to the 'standard' way of life. The Pirates are believed that their ships are created by the Teladi as they have a very similar design.
+Little is known about the Sohnen, an old spacefaring race that has little to do with [[Commonwealth]] affairs.
-Pirate ships are always armed and will attack anyone they don't like. Pirates will often attack other ships just for cargo. The Pirates would rather lose a bit of cargo space so they can carry some extra guns.
 ===== Split =====

 After the last Xenon war, the Argon nearly lost their homeland, however, since then the Argons have been fighting back winning countless battles against the Xenon. The biggest blow to the Xenon was the loss of the Xenon mothership in Brennan's Triumph.
-Xenon ships are still deadly to this day and are constantly researching ways to upgrade ships and weapons. The Xenon's are planning to one day attack the Argon again

+====== Factions ======
+===== ATF =====
+The AGI Task Force is a security faction for the Terrans, tasked with protecting Earth against threats posed by Artificial General Intelligence.
+===== Community Of Planets =====
+A blanket term describing the 5 primary races in the gate network: Argon, Boron, Paranid, Split and Teladi. Also known as the [[Commonwealth]].
+===== Foundation Guild =====
+A formal alliance between the Argon and the Boron, during the first Xenon conflict. The Split and Paranid refused to join the foundation guild and instead opted to join the Teladi in their Profit guild. While relations with other races outside the Foundation Guild remain tense yet somewhat cordial, each has a common enemy known as the Xenon.
+===== Goner =====
+A sect of religious citizens from the early colonists of Argon Prime who were first known as "Gunners", namely after their leader at the time Nathan R. Gunne who explored the universe for a way back home to Earth. Over the many centuries, details were obscured and Earth was pretty much forgotten, what remained of Earth became known as the "Truth", the origin of the Argons. Another thing obscured over time was their name, as the "Gunners" morphed into Goners.
+===== Pirates =====
+The Pirates are people who don't want to conform to the 'standard' way of life. The Pirates believe that their ships were created by the Teladi as they have a very similar design.
+Pirate ships are always armed and will attack anyone they don't like. Pirates will often attack other ships just for cargo. The Pirates would rather lose a bit of cargo space so they can carry some extra guns.
+===== Profit Guild =====
+Formed initially during the first Xenon conflict mainly because the Paranid refused to share their technology with the Boron and Argon. Seeing the Split as the only race even remotely worthy as an ally, the Paranid chose to form an alliance with the Split. Because the Split and Paranid believe their own race is superior, they are quite comfortable not sharing technology with each other, and together form a formidable, yet awkward relationship. The Teladi, knowing conflict brings profit saw fit to join the rightly so-named Profit guild as well, for no other reason than profits.
+===== Yaki =====
+The ruthless Yaki pirates have taken advantage of the weakened Argon Fleet to carry out raids on Argon facilities and many other sectors in the universe. They set up shop near Paranid space, with their core world being [[Weavers Tempest]], and their shipyard in [[Senators Badlands]]. The Yaki are known to be the most deadly pirates who have sold out their own mothers for less than a nickel.
+====== Corporations ======
+Corporations are a recent development in the power structure of the Commonwealth.
+Focused primarily on business operations, Corporations represent a significant force.
+The following corporations maintain their own headquarters stations.
+===== Atreus =====
+Headquartered in [[Queens Harbour]], Atreus Shipbuilding Currents specializes in automated spacecraft.
+===== Duke's =====
+Headquartered in an [[Unknown Sector]] (10,16), Duke's Buccanneers are a 'private security corporation'.
+===== Jonferco =====
+Jonferson Space Dynamics Division, headquartered in [[Belt of Aguilar]], specializes in engineering and installation design.
+===== NMMC =====
