−	==The Ship==
−	Cosmic Exploration Vessel “Eris” is a private ship, owned only by its captain. This old spaceship, which was used to transfer prisoners and cattle, had been restructured on a Valhallan Foundation shipyard. Stuffed with relatively expensive modern equipment, it is perfectly suited to deep space research missions.
−
−	==Technology==
−	Technological level varies from area to area, and many factions diverged their technological advancements heavily from each other due to their ideologies, socio-political environment, and economic needs, which purpose might not apply well to other civilizations. Due to the devastation left by Corporate War, much of the man-made technology was lost, leading to the general regression. This, combined with the Hansa Trade Union's policies and repression against independent research and over-reliance on copyrighted blueprints, has left the largest nation in the known galaxy at a low technological level. Much of the electronic technology has regressed into easy-to-manufacture components whose designs date even to the 21st century. Regardless of that, implants and prosthetics are common. Due to their easy and versatile construction, which proved their effectiveness in the war against NanoTrasen, Ballistic weapons have gained a much more significant presence on the civilian and mercenary market than energy weapons. Cloning technology serves primarily to produce spare organs and organoids, while only the likes of NeoTheology are capable of providing sapience to their clones. Interstellar travels are provided using bluespace technologies. Vessel engines can carry out short travels.

Still, due to some clans’ blatant inability to peacefully coexist with the rest or refusal to work towards the common good, it remains a common practice for the Court to make use of its intelligence and peacekeeping forces.

While technically being part of the Atomic militants, they have the absolute operational autonomy to traverse all of the known galaxy outside the Galpolkan borders and cause absolute havoc everywhere they go. There is no reasoning with them; no negotiations will take place, no bribes will be accepted, no prisoners will be taken, and no resources or technology will be seized. Their sole directive is to burn everyone in holy nuclear fires, destroy all machinery and the ship, and irradiate everything around in a situation of certain death so that no living being can escape with unscathed health or a habitable ship, all the while loud screaming propaganda of their patron Norbert Dmowski is being played from their shoulder speakers.

	Due to the massive crisis of homelessness that emerged from the ashes of Corporate Wars, many of the Technomancer clans have become stranded on various planets within Hansa Space. With the resurgence of Null Sector, many private prospectors in possession of a ship and desire to explore that accursed regions seek cheap, skilled, and desperate engineering labor with connections to a technologically advanced empire, and stranded technomancer clans fall into that category perfectly, as a mere promise of their own personal space on board of ship is enough to convince them to partake in suicidal voyages. However, technomancer clans had proven to be quite unreliable when it came to abiding by their contracts. For ambition to own a ship and acquire freedom which Technomancers League promises so much, is stronger than any agreement, and as such many exploration vessels are prone to coup attempts committed by rowdy technomancer clans.

−	==== Neotheology ====	+	==== Church of Neotheology ====
	No one really knows the true nature of the Church of Neotheology’s interest in the Null Sector. For many, it would seem heretical to explore the remains of an atheist fallen empire in a zone filled with bluespace anomalies, rogue synthetics, and alien creatures. By the definition of their doctrine, it would be a place of absolute evil, yet along with Moebius Laboratories, they remain the largest funders of various expeditions into the old Solar Cloud. Many could interpret this as a form of a crusade against the evils or an effort to ward off unsuspecting crews that would have traveled there no matter what from evils. The most accepted conclusion, however, is that Null Space is full of secrets and people, and if Neothology were a moth, then secrets and people would be the largest lamps you could find in Hansa Space.

	While the failed federation state is barely even existing and is in no position to organise any kind of activity within the Null Sector, the more stable statelets that rose from its decaying corpse and many of the refugee entrepreneurs find plenty of work and potential within this rogue sector, that would either help them set their lives straight or find ways to restore the glory of their nation from ruins.

−	* '''Serbian ~~Autonomous Military~~''': The Official military force of the Serbian Government of ~~Pedestraza~~ is in high demand for their mercenary work within Null Sector. For as much as the Null Sector offers potential for profit and discovery, it also offers a safe haven for any debt evaders, corporate enemies, and many other undesirables trying to hide from the repercussions of their life choices. Serbian Mercenaries, however, take contracts that can’t be solved via the slow bureaucracy of an Ironhammer termination or silent contractors. They are hard hitters, their goal is to blow the target sky-high, and everyone trying to protect them. As such, the encounter with any of their mercenary ships results in either quick disengage or violent hostility. Ironhammer Central Command warns against any attempt of contact with SAM, and as such, within Null Sector, they are considered enemies of the HTU.	+	* '''Serbian Government''': The Official military force of the Serbian Government of Predestraza is in high demand for their mercenary work within Null Sector.

	Once a large empire sprawling from humanity’s cradle of Sol Itself across huge stretches of the known galaxy. Rising from the ancient state of China, which rise to power triggered a mass wave of migration from the Sol known as the Exodus from the Earth, Onestar was famous for their hyper-advanced technological prowess, sporting reality-breaking weapons, advanced AI, and robots. Much has been forgotten as to what their exact system was, and only generalized knowledge remained that it was some form of Communist state led by the Party and Great Chairman at the helm of it. At the end of its history, turmoil broke out for unknown reasons. After merely ten years, the whole of the Onestar and territory beyond its borders had been locked from the rest of the galaxy by an obfuscating cloud of some form of psi field, leaving a massive swath of impossible-to-travel galactic space known as the Null Sector, from which, only recently, start systems started re-emerging again, and the denizens of once great empire nowhere to be found.

	Huge Corporate state that once controlled sector of space currently known as the Hansa Sector.

Much of today’s tech is owed to the ingenuity of the Nanotrasen. That, however, hasn’t saved them from the enemies they had created with tightening, totalitarian market control, alienating all sorts of surrounding independent states, and being plagued by various terrorist organizations. Corporate wars had brought Nanotrasens end. The Cult of Neotheology had rebelled and wrestled control from fallen Nanotrasens leadership, and the Syndicate seized the territory and assets, rebranding itself to the Hansa Trade Union.
