New Factions (2) : The Raegris

Raegris captain

The Raegris are a long-time space faring race though never rose above medium-power status. Their space exists between 4 potential enemies : the Utrek, Vosun-Voth, Bolitic and IKA but they managed to maintain their independence through powerful warships and crafty politicking... and a deal of luck. Often the Raegris have just been a little too far out of the way for enemies to attack.

The Raegris homeworld is mineral-rich and the Raegris are happy to trade with anyone, the Raegris have used that money that brings in to strengthen their fleet and to augment their own designs (the Clone Cosmos ship is based on a Raegris design) with DDS ships. They were one of the DDS' first export customers and quickly formed an alliance and partnership with the DDS, using their potent industrial base to build DDS ships for export and even for the DDS itself.

Raegis Quasar

The Raegris are now one of DDS' Tier 1 allies and thus have no restrictions on DDS technology and a very important industrial and strategic centre for the DDS.

Unlike the Remedians the Raegris maintain their political independence from the DDS and pull their weight in the DDS military. For example DDS minesweeping systems are based on Raegris technology.

It is likely the Raegris will continue to play a vital role in the future astral-political spacescape because of their location and their assets.
