Soviet Powers
The Soviets have begun their latest stage into the building of an intergalatic(and perhaps interdimensional) empire. The colonization of Chiron, headed by Premier Igor Dukov, nephew of the great Alexander Romanov, has begun.
Being Communist, the Soviets still believe in an ideal future, by building harsh, Spartan present.As such, they take great pride in their industry, as well as their army. Their bases are all outfitted with a command centre. However, their hardcore industrilization tends to get in the way of ecological sensitivity.
The Soviets cannot make the "Fundamentalist" social choice.

The Brotherhood of Nod
The Brotherhood still believes that they have been chosen by God, to lead a supposedly wayward Human Race. As such, they are fanatical, efficient, and highly dangerous, using the latest in military technology. Sadly though, their incredibly extravagant weapons are costly, and anarchy is easily rampant in an already anarchic society.
Nod is the only faction in all Alpha Centauri that can make all social choices. Sadly, they have no real agenda, other than that of global domination.

Global Peace Initiative
The G.P.I., also known as the Peacekeepers, support the humanitarian principles of the U.N., the organization that commisioned the Unity expedition to Alpha Centauri. Made up of men, women, and children from countries the world over, this faction represents an alliance, hence the reason why, occasionaly, they are called the Allies. Combinig the best of cutting edge technology, and military strength, they are usually ladled by bureaucratic inefficency. Due to their encouragemnet for large families, they usually experience large growth,and, as such, can accomodate large populations.
