# Faction Alignments

There are three primary Council of Peace (COP) Factions, which dominate the Safe Zone of our galaxy: The **MUD**, **ONI**, and **USTUR** Council factions. 

Each one of them has a proprietary ship manufacturer:

* **The Pearce Council -** Belonging to the MUD Faction.
* **The Busan House** - Belonging to the ONI Faction.
* **The Vzus Enterprise** - Belonging to the Ustur Faction.

The main ship manufacturers, having set up commerce in these zones, have established corporate alignments across the COP. This originated multifaction partnerships, which created new manufacturers with unique styles and products.

* **Ogrika Harbors** - A joint enterprise between ONI and Ustur, led by the ONI Consortium Punaabs.
* **Opal -** A joint enterprise between Ustur and MUD, led by the Ustur.
* **Calico -** A joint enterprise between MUD and ONI, led by the MUD.

Aside from the COP industries, other groups have risen and created their own manufacturers, some of them sponsored by factions outside the COP Jurisdiction.

**Faction Agnostic**

* **Fimbul** - a low-cost manufacturer, predominant in the medium zone.
* **Armstrong -** An infrastructure-focused manufacturer specialized in mining gear, has the monopoly in all of the official COP operations.
