Human

Humanity is divided into two factions: The fearful, traditionalist Order of the Red Piston led by blank, and the tech-savvy Knights of The Purple Star who are led by Lavender Solfrino.

When humanity discovered the power of steam, they thought they were set for life. That is until an upstart scientist invented the energy blade. There were those who were afraid of what this would lead to and tried to stop the scientist, but in the end violence became the only answer.

The Order of the Red Piston was formed to fight the scientist and his rising rebellion of those who desired progress, but as lives were lost on both sides, the Order finally gave the rebels an ultimatum. Leave Earth. Taking the break in the now three year war, the quickly advancing rebels unlocked the power of space travel and using experimental means developed by the same scientist who started it all, managed to begin the colonization of Mars.

Utilizing their new technology, the scientist and his rebellion formed the Knights of the Purple Star, based on the emblem of the scientist's laboratory.
