Darkspace/ICC
From EncyClanPedia
The ICC is another human faction in Darkspace, and the keepers of powerful shield technology. Shields, while consuming energy when recharging, provide better protection than armor alone. ICC captains are also able to divert power from the shield on one side of their ship to another, possibly covering a section under focused fire. This makes the ICC the most defensive faction. In addition, shields can be constructed on ICC planets, making them resistant to planetary bombardment, therefore making the ICC planets harder to capture. Their ships tend to be angular, dark blue and black in color, and very industrial in comparison to the sleeker UGTO ships, though are still aesthetically pleasing. ICC ships, while fast, do not have much armor on them compared to the UGTO. Although shielding makes up for this lack of armor, precious energy from the reactor must be diverted to recharge them. The ICC homeworld is an Earth-like planet called "Exathra", orbiting the star CD-36°15693.
Hardy, cunning, and self righteous at times, the ICC are the new carriers of the banner of freedom for the Farstars. After two failed attempts at rebellion against the UGTO, the Farstars are trying again. This time, however, may be different. Though few in number, many of the ICC captains have now survived quite a few battles with the UGTO, and therefore have experience in UGTO tactics. Some were even UGTO captains before they defected to the ICC, and know much about the UGTO's strength and weaknesses. In addition to the new shield technology, the ICC have a much better chance of holding out. The rest of the men comprising the ICC Navy and Army are either turned UGTO officers, patriotic traders and merchants who have decided to put their flying skills to good use, or even ex-pirates. This extremely patriotic conglomeration of people may seem like a unorganized rabble to the UGTO, but in fact, all their strengths combined, plus the new ICC shield technology, make them a formidable foe.
