The Independent Settlement Front
Demonym: ISF
General Information
Galaxy: The Milky Way
Territory: Near the far edges of the galaxy.
Number of Systems: 3 Hundred Thousand Developed Systems with an additional 50 thousand Industrial Designated Systems
Influence Rank: 4
Capital World: Emora
Population by Race: Much of the nation is habited by the dominant human race.
Technology
Technology Rank: 8.3
FTL Travel: ISF Type Warp Drives- A standard Alliance variant FTL drive, but a configured and slightly upgraded version.
Technological Development Focus: The ISF concentrates a majority of its resources mainly to its R&D division in military developments. However, ruling as a rogue human domain, some of its discoveries are diverted into civilian applications thus increasing the quality of living for its citizens.
Exceptional Technologies:
✦ Concentrated Fusion Cannon- Concentrated Fusion Cannons are the main weapons of the ISF Navy fleets. These energy-based guns fire medium sized heated projectiles that are capable of eating both shields and armor of enemy vessels. Nevertheless, for much larger ships, longer effects of exposure and more cannon fire are required to sustain true damage. The guns are mounted on many of the ISF ships and due to its fairly small sizes, they are able to outfit them with multiple stations.
✦ Experimental Stealth Strike Craft- One of the most recent technologies developed by ISF's top national scientists is the experimental stealth strike craft. While it's an on-going project, much success has been made. So far, the fighters are fitted with standard Achilles-Class armaments such as missiles and ballistics. But what makes this fighter so special, is behind its stealth capabilities. This stealth technology makes the ship undetectable through radio waves, direct line of sight, or any other normal means. However it is not perfect due to the incredible chance of detection. But while it seems impressive there are a few drawbacks to the technology.
Official documents suggest that there are about one thousand ships operational within the military. However, the exact location of these fighters is strictly classified. Although rumors float that they are hidden on black site research stations across its territories conducting more testing for future applications.
Culture
Society in the ISF is largely authoritarian. Citizens are categorized in the typical Upper, Middle, and Lower classes respectfully. However, citizens can improve their social status with merit based on the individual's loyalties to the regime. The more loyal you are to the government, the better rewards gained for you and your family. Although if a citizen is found to be disloyal, the exact opposite will happen. Depending on the severity, it is considered a serious crime. To combat unrest in the population, the ISF are also known to deploy a secret police division know as Aunitox. Unfortunately, much of the information regarding the organization classified under section 5230.42 of the DoD protocols. ISF society is also heavily influenced by the state-run propaganda to suppress the freedom of speech. Mainly, it serves a purpose of indoctrinating the populace. The state sponsored propaganda center Oscus Interactive, controls much of the spread of information within its territories, going so far as to block out any other transmissions in its sphere of influence. Offical citizens of ISF are mandated for gun ownership. The divine religion 'Hato' is the prime religion that the people of ISF follow. Any other religion is strictly forbidden and those who freely express them are sentenced to prison. In terms of economics, the population is open to capitalism. Nevertheless, the government agencies closely monitor the system to ensure that businesses do not harm the state.
Ideology: The people of the Independent Settlement Front believe that they should be the predominant human faction in the universe. Due to their extensive history, much of the people think that they are more pure and stronger than their counterparts thus a need to rule over them. The people can be described as militaristic, xenophobic, materialists, and individualist. With propaganda at a day to day basis, this ideology is profoundly hardwired into the minds of the population. Very rarely would you find a citizen who does not agree with the rest...

Operation: Seen as a despotic hegemony, the nation is ruled by a single individual, The Overseer. The Overseer controls every square inch of his/her empire. Ranging from domestic to foreign interests. Despite ruling with an iron fist, he/she is supported by a group of administrators, handpicked by the Overseer, to micromanage the separate levels of government. While they operate autonomously, his words are law. The Overseer can remove an administrator from power at will if he/she wishes to do so, and replace the position with a newly appointed person of their choosing. These actions are deemed justified by the population. As a totalitarian oppressing state, severe laws are in place to prevent the enlightenment of true freedom. This is a small set of laws as listed:
✦ Expressing freedom of speech is considered treason. The sentence is imprisonment or labor camp.
✦ Expressing other non-official religions is also considered treason. The sentence is imprisonment or labor camp.
✦ Motivation or activity done against the state is a sentence to death.
✦ Individual's found corrupted or defected to another nation are seen as high treason and put to death.
✦ Minor crimes are dealt with in the judicial system. Sentences can by from fines to labor camps.
✦ Individual's seen to be disrespectful to the Overseer are sentenced to imprisonment or death.
✦ High ranking Citizens in the Army are to be respected as governmental officials and treated as such.
✦ Etc.
Military
The ISF Armed Forces are the backbone of the nation, defending the people from both internal and external threats. Its troops are fully professionally trained and are ready to deploy at a moments notice. The armed forces have an active and reserve force. If the government gets desperate, it can initiate mass conscription among the population. Although the population itself is a force to deal with. Under the ISF banner, citizens are required to attend 15 years of military service beginning from the age of 12. And with gun ownership mandatory, conscripts (though not as good as the standard ISF soldier) can be a useful piece in the art of warfare. Having the biggest funding out of all departments, its soldiers are given state of the art equipment to maximize its fighting potential. Whether it be guns, armor, vehicles, ships, ammo, etc. The military is separated into 3 main branches. Interplanetary, Planetary, and Intelligence. With those main branches are sub-branches that are under the command of their respected role. The military also has a military police, which is used to uphold the law within the army. Individuals found breaking those laws are detained and await sentencing by HI-COM or by the Overseer. All branches are under the umbrella of HI-COM which organizes and manages the entire military. The administrator of defense is the highest attainable position in the department. Thus granting unlimited power. And of course above him is the Overseer, who is also titled Commander-in-Chief.

History
(Brief summary of its history.)
The early decades of the Independent Settlement Front's history begun in 1995 after the UGE suppression of its rebellion and colonial expansion policy throughout the known galaxy. Before it obtained it's official title, the ISF was a small industrial sector established near the outer ridges of the Milky Way called 'Meropis Gamma'. The sector was nothing but a pocket full of barren planetoids, dangerous asteroid fields, and planets besieged by hostile environments and wildlife. The UGE originally intended to colonize the systems and hoped to reverse the harmful effects in order to make the planets more hospitable for human life. Unfortunately, the UGE abandoned the sector due to lack of funding and financial debt needed to crush its rebels. Soon afterward, the colonies left on the planet's surfaces also became abandoned, left there to ruin. 21 years later humanity is at war and is suffering from further internal strife. With resources becoming scarce, it was apparent that the UGE needed to make some desperate decisions. The government then funded a private mining company called 'Lapenti Ring' to survey the outer systems for potential valuable minerals to excavate. Unbeknownst to the first colonial expedition, the company uncovered that the forgotten sector was a hub for rare ores and minerals. Ships returned to the former colonial cities, only to witness the ruined buildings left behind. Resources were mined and the company soon greatly prospered with the untapped fields at the palm of their hands, wanting to expand its projects. But in order to do so, the company need more employees to fill the empty positions. Living quarters in the ships were limited and by grabbing more housing crafts seemed unlikely, for to operate them would cost more than they would profit. Facing a harsh reality, the board decided to re-colonize the systems. Investing tons of capital, the company managed to place footholds in multiple major planets, as well as succeeding initial phases of terraforming. With cities now stable for housing, employees brought their families along to live in the new habitable sector. Advertising was largely made to draw in more people from across the galaxy offering a permanent residence and employment. This exceeded the company's expectations. Waves of newcomers flooded the systems populating it moreover. In 2130 the Meropis Gamma Sector flourishes under the control of Lapenti Ring, with hundreds of more systems colonized each passing decade. Growing in influence the company reformed itself into becoming the local government properly overseeing the sector with the addition of operating their industrial sites as well as collecting taxes for the Alliance. Years of autonomy spread within the population demanding independence from the Alliance due to the increasing of taxes and the hated authoritarian rule. Greater military presence was then sent into the sector in response to the offense. To keep administration over the sector, the local government loosened the demands for independence and silenced its citizens through use of military force. While the method was certainly effective, the people still had hatred for both the Alliance and their government who they thought they could trust. 500 years later, a homegrown militant group known as 'The Black Death' launched a full-scale takeover against the current government, trying to install themselves into power. Timing with the war between the Alliance and Federated Colonies, the new government secured its position with little resistance from the former government since most of the Alliance fleets fled to help with the front lines. Ambitions, the new government secretly supplied the Federated Colonies to ensure victory against the Alliance. This was accompanied by several covert bombings and terror plots across Alliance controlled systems to weaken them at all costs. As the Federated Colonies achieved victory in 2800, the government as well broke from the shackles of their former overlords establishing themselves as the Independent Settlement Front. Seeing the defeat of the Alliance, the new government convinced the population that they had enough suffering at the cost of so-called 'Terrains' and that they were not related to those weaklings. Instead, it was now their duty to cleanse the filth. And ever since then the ISF has isolated itself from the other empires, building a formidable military force for the future reconquest of all human worlds.

With enough damage, these ships can lose their invisibility either by internal or external means.
- These ships cannot use their weaponry while cloaked.
- This technology can only be equipped by small ships. Thus making it useless to bigger ships.
Official documents suggest that there are about one thousand ships operational within the military. However, the exact location of these fighters is strictly classified. Although rumors float that they are hidden on black site research stations across its territories conducting more testing for future applications.
