New Factions (1) : The Repicans

Years ago this web site surveyed the various factions in the DDS Universe, it is now time to return to these factions as well as having a look at some of the newer factions who have entered the fray in recent times...

Horga, a Repican
The Repicans are one of the "lost" Dino colonies (like the Bolitic and Sirikwanese). Their home planet of Repic is beyond the Bolitic and Raegris space about 150 light years from Proxima Centauri.

Not a huge amount is known about the Repicans, they first came to the attention of the Dinos and DDS when they joined the Bolitic during the latter phases of the ABBO-Bolitic War. They are thought to have been allies of the Bolitic for some time.

The Repicans are a race of warrior-merchants, their ships are crew-owned with a hierarchy of shareholders, the "captain" of a ship (known as the senior partner or chairman) is the one who owns the most stock. Crew rise in a ship's hierarchy by purchasing more stock. The Repicans operate only for commercial reasons, making money is their primary concern (even their ship-to-ship videocalls contain adverts!) It is thought they joined the Bolitic in the war in return for loot though did not profit from the enterprise. Although their ships are technically good they are inferior to the Dino and DDS state-of-the-art and lost heavily.

Repican ship
In recent years they have appeared more often as the Dinos and DDS have expanded their operations into space the Repicans also operate in.

Notable Repicans include Senior Partner Gorel who commands the ship Ra'Anagan. Once he captured Ronald and tried to sell him to the Bolitic. He is a very tricky individual.
