• Indar: A desert continent with grassy highlands in the southwest, rocky canyons and dry lakebeds in the east, and a vast ancient seabed in its north.

 

• Esamir: A polar continent made up of immense dry tundras and cold deserts, rocky hills, and gigantic, violet crystalline formations.

 

• Amerish: A continent featuring lush vegetation and beautiful landscapes. Its rolling green fields and forests are routinely broken up by tall jagged rock outcroppings.

 

• Hossin: A swamp continent coated in dense tropical rainforests with mistshrouded undergrowth and a dark, shaded forest floor inhabited by bioluminescent flora and insectlike fauna.

 

• Battle Islands: Nexus is the first of the Battle Islands that SOE will be releasing over time. These Islands are essentially mini-continents, and focus on two-sided conflict, as opposed to the three-sided conflicts on the actual continents Indar, Esamir, Amerish, and Hossin. Nexus's terrain seems to reflect an alpine territory. The island seems to have large mountain ranges, dense alpine fir and spruce forests, and large caves and crevices. The island also features extensive indoor combat zones, and tight urban combat scenarios.

 

 

 

Factions

 

 

 

• Terran Republic: An authoritarian colonial government that leverages military might to maintain strict control over the colonial citizens, ostensibly on behalf of the mother Terran Republic back on Earth. The Terran Republic is obsessed with the preservation of law and order, and see the insurrectionary war against themselves as all the more justification for strong-armed countermeasures. They are thus seen by their opponents to be an oppressive and dictatorial force, but many also view the TR as the only hope for lasting security and peace on Auraxis. Their colors are red and black. TR forces are distinguished by their use of rapid fire conventional weaponry, large-capacity magazines, high speed medium tanks and fast flying fighter aircraft.

 

• New Conglomerate: The New Conglomerate operates as a loosely organized band of self-proclaimed freedom fighters. Viewed as corporate-backed terrorist guerillas by their adversaries, they violently oppose the stranglehold that the Terran Republic has on Auraxis. Led by an unusual quorum of outcasts, frontier industrialists, pirates, and turncoat military leaders, the New Conglomerate is unwavering and prepared to achieve freedom from oppression by any means necessary. Their colors are blue and gold. NC forces use hard hitting electromagnetic weapons such as gauss and railguns that are devastating at short and medium range, but bulky and unwieldy with moderate reload speeds. They utilize durable heavily-armed shock troops with slow, well-armored heavy tanks and heavy fighters loaded with arrays of crushingly powerful ordnance

 

• Vanu Sovereignty: The Vanu Sovereignty are a secretive and cultlike group who believe that only through the untapped power of ancient alien technology can humanity truly evolve towards the next phase of its existence. They are an technologically advanced and cunning faction, employing powerful reverse-engineered alien technologies on the battlefield. Their singular purpose is to uncover the secrets hidden away in ancient artifacts scattered over the surface of Auraxis, and as such they view the war with its shifting territories and militarized zones as a pointless impedance to their infinitely more important work. They fight only to seize and retain uninterruptible, or exclusive, access to alien artifacts, research and dig sites, and other scientific materials. Their colors are violet and cyan. The Vanu use advanced plasma and laser weaponry on the battlefield, characterised by lack of bullet drop, high accuracy, low recoil, and quick-reloadable energy cells. They deploy highly maneuverable floating tanks capable of efficiently traversing almost any terrain or incline, as well as wraithlike antigravity fighters known as Scythes capable of inertia-defying breakneck aerobatics.
