The diverse factions within the universe offer unique advantages to your squad makeup. Depending on your mission objectives, aligning with specific Techglomerates can provide access to corporation missions and advanced equipment.
When creating your character, you choose your Core (your class and combat role) independently from your Techglomerates affiliation. Your Core determines your abilities; your affiliation determines your connections.
Affiliated Operatives maintain active ties with a Corporation or Syndicate:
Under the Radar operatives keep their heads down:
The equipment listed in the gear sections represents standard requisitionable gear available through your Techglomerate Quartermaster. Any operative (affiliated or not) can purchase this equipment at listed prices, subject to Security Level restrictions.

Someone has to run the prisons, and someone has to make sure running the prisons stays profitable. GRAD handles both. They operate detention facilities across the galaxy, from orbital penitentiaries to deep-space exile barges, and they do it with the calm efficiency of an organisation that learned long ago that rehabilitation is a line item on a budget, not a mission statement. Wardens, guards, transport security, inmate processing, GRAD operatives keep the machine running. The fact that the machine occasionally eats people is a known operational parameter.
Players who join GRAD get access to containment tech, riot suppression gear, restraint systems, and an institutional understanding of how to control populations. You'll know every corridor layout, every shift rotation, every blind spot in the surveillance grid. Whether you're keeping people in or getting people out depends on which side of the bars you're standing on.
When GRAD locks you up, they assign you a facility designation. If you're dangerous enough, or unlucky enough, that designation ends in FAIL. The facilities for Alien and Inhospitable Life Forms house the things GRAD doesn't want in general population: xenomorphic threats, psionic offenders, biosafety nightmares, and political prisoners who officially don't exist. The people who survive these facilities come out changed. The ones who escape come out useful.
GRAD-FAIL operatives are ex-inmates, turned informants, turned assets. They know the darknet markets because they ran commissary rackets from inside. They know ghost operations because they had to disappear to survive. Their training is informal, brutal, and entirely practical. GRAD doesn't officially acknowledge GRAD-FAIL exists. GRAD-FAIL doesn't officially care.

Violence is a service industry, and MERCS is the market leader. The Mercenary Expansion Recovery and Capitalisation Syndicate is exactly what it sounds like: a network of professional killers with excellent bookkeeping. No ideology, no patriotism, no moral architecture; just a price list and a contract. No Pay, No Play is the first rule. The second is that once you accept a blood coin, the job gets done. The third rule is about how much your life costs. You'll learn that one during orientation.
MERCS operatives get access to military-grade hardware, combat training, and a career structure built on the assumption that your life expectancy correlates directly with your invoice total. Solo contracts at the bottom, company command at the top, and a Garrison Tribunal waiting for anyone who botches the numbers.
The ethics committee meets quarterly. NERD's R&D cycle is daily. The Neurological Expansion Research and Development Corporation is what happens when you give brilliant people unlimited funding and strongly-worded-but-ultimately-unenforceable guidelines. They push the boundaries of neurological science, exotic materials research, and things that make other scientists mutter "you can't just—" before being handed a non-disclosure agreement.
NERD operatives are field researchers, sample collectors, and test subjects; sometimes all three before lunch. You get access to experimental tech, prototype scanners, exotic compounds, and the kind of scientific equipment that voids your insurance just by being in the same room. The corporation's official position is that all research is conducted safely and ethically. Their legal department is the largest in the galaxy. Draw your own conclusions.
Flesh is a design flaw. ROBO has been saying this for decades, and the galaxy is slowly coming around. The Robotic and Bionic Operations corporation builds, maintains, and improves mechanical systems; from industrial drones to combat chassis to the cybernetic limbs that half the galaxy's veterans rely on. They don't hate biology. They just think it could use an upgrade.
ROBO operatives specialise in drone operations, mechanical repair, bionic integration, and the increasingly blurred line between tool and colleague. You get access to cutting-edge robotics platforms, advanced fabrication tools, and a corporate philosophy that measures everything in operational efficiency. When ROBO says they want to make you better, they mean it literally.
Everyone else runs away from the disaster. SAROS runs toward it, cracks a joke, and pulls someone out of the wreckage. The Search and Rescue Operatives are the galaxy's first responders; station breaches, hull collapses, deep-space distress calls, and the kind of situations where "acceptable losses" is a phrase used by people who aren't in the building. SAROS operatives are.
You get access to breaching equipment, emergency medical gear, hazardous environment suits, and the training to use all of it while the ceiling is on fire. SAROS doesn't ask who you are or what you were doing when the station depressurised. They ask how many people are still inside. Everything else is paperwork.
Three months from the nearest resupply. Six months from the nearest shore leave. A year from anyone who cares. UNI-NAV patrols the outer systems; the shipping lanes too remote for CONFED to bother with, the frontier stations too small to matter to anyone except the people living on them. They are the thin line between civilisation and the kind of emptiness that makes people hear things.
UNI-NAV operatives are long-haul spacers: ship crew, gunners, navigators, and the kind of pragmatic frontier soldiers who fix everything with solder and stubbornness because the quartermaster is eight jumps away. You get access to naval weapons, ship-rated equipment, void-rated armour, and the dry humour that comes from spending too long staring at nothing and calling it a career.
XERO started as a support network for displaced alien populations and ended up as the galaxy's most improbable intelligence agency. The Xeno-Enclave for Roaming Organics represents the outcasts, the dispossessed, and the species whose homeworlds are either occupied, destroyed, or under new management. When you have nothing, information is the only currency that appreciates.
XERO operatives are information brokers, xeno-archaeologists, alien tech specialists, and the scrappy underdogs who turn up at every auction, every dig site, and every black-market exchange with exactly the right piece of data at exactly the right moment. You get access to alien technology, cross-species intelligence networks, and a reputation system that means more to XERO than credits ever will. They're rebuilding from nothing. That makes them either desperate or dangerous. Usually both.
