ZSGG Academy of Orion Warfare

Each mercenary faction can supplement your main faction in various ways. Mercenary units can be hired periodically over time for hex / flux costs. Factions also provide their own set of unique faction-wide talents, and provide a hero you can choose from (when not playing as Legion)

There are 7 Mercenary factions, 5 of which are currently playable:

• Arandi - Advanced aliens with the ability to manipulate space and time
• Cha'Kru Kingom - Gigantic crabs and their humanoid companions, worshipping their gods of the sea
• Dread Raiders - Human space pirates
• Koru - (Not in game yet) Sentient plants who have a symbiotic relationship with the Grell
• Marran - Aliens who tend to protect their own homeworlds but are otherwise fairly isolationist, known for snipers
• Sanctuary - (Not in game yet) Robots with healing and buffs
• Valkaru - Warlike alien grunts.
