Faction In Focus : The Raegris (updated)

The Raegris is a medium-power some way off the Central Powers' area of space but quite closely aligned to the DDS, indeed the Raegris are maybe the most important allies of the DDS if only for their manufacturing capacity. The Raegris have a fairly small territory of space but have some rich mineral deposits and are an importer to all three Central Powers. The Raegris have proved eager to spend their wealth on military hardware. They have purchased a number of Quasar cruisers from the DDS and are now building Isometrics for themselves easily giving themselves one of the most powerful fleet in their region of space.



This has increased tensions with their rivals including the Vosun-Voth and IKA Federation but the Raegris are thought not to be that bothered about their neighbours, at their far frontier they are fairly near part of Tarbotian space and on the other frontier bordering the Utrek who are both more of a strategic concern. As yet they have not been attacked by either mega-empire but the Raegris think its only a matter of time.

Thus the Raegris have been building DDS ships both for themselves and for the growing export sector. Thats not to say the Raegris do not have good technology of their own. The Cosmos cruiser, now the backbone of the HCS fleet, is based on the RC-2 cruiser of Raegris design. The Raegris look set to continue their close co-operation with the DDS, their geographical location means they are not really that involved in Central Power politics but are a very strategic location for the DDS with respect to the Bolitic Confederacy and Utrek.
