The Union and the Federation; Two children’s of Terra, two different paths
The Great War, the final battle, the last catalyst. Many names have been given to the event that forced man kind to flee old earth and venture into the stars, yet one title, one universal title is known upon all of the future human civilization that would settle into space, The Shattering. During the last wars, one of the great powers of old earth activated a weapon that broke the crust underneath, ushering great horrors once thought to be nothing more than tales. The powers that would be fled with their best and brightest, people they deemed valuable, of use, who could continue their legacy into the stars. The rest of humanity were left, forced to fester in the dying plaguing carcass that has become their home
From the cosmos, two civilizations would be born, out formed out of the fires of the old world, seeking to emulate the past, while the other has longed moved pasted it, learning to adapt to its current environment
Federation marine : Most of the federation forces are heavily comprised of Automation, with the Federation ground army being entirely made up of drones of various kinds. However human manned combatants still exist. The federation marines act as an elite shock troopers tasked with executing more precise roles that the regular army isn’t able to perform.
U.A.S Volunteer: Due to the nature of the U.A.S being a loose coalition of independent systems rather than a central government like the federation, the idea of a centralized unified military force had never entered the conversation until its conflict with the federation. Prior, the U.A.S had mostly relied on its own systems to create and use their own military force for protection, usually against pirates. But with the growing conflict against the federation, it raised the issue of its lack of military readiness. The newly established U.A.S military were predominantly comprised of volunteers forces of former system militaries that have now joined as one. As such uniform, equipment and personal can vary greatly, with some soldiers hailing from human origins and being issued different equipment than their extraterrestrial counterparts.
