| The region of space accepted today as the StarMech Collective lacked both organization and leadership during the [[Timeline|23rd century]]. The century before had seen the end of the 100-year peace imposed by the six [[Terran alliances]]. During the 23rd century, humanity undertook a massive leap to the stars, but many smaller countries left without much planning. Colonization was correspondingly chaotic. Dozens of small corporations and states carved out a niche in regions ignored by the larger powers, including the [[Concord Taurus Protectorate|Taurus sector]]. | The region of space accepted today as the StarMech Collective lacked both organization and leadership during the [[Timeline|23rd century]].

| The Collective's economy walks a delicate line between free republic and corporation. Independent traders and small corporations exist throughout the Collective, sometimes even competing with an official division of the StarMech Collective itself. Still, the Collective's economy, independent or tied to the corporation, relies on the superior workmanship and production facilities about planets such as Chance. StarMech shipyards are rightfully the pride of the Collective and the source of most of its interstellar trade. While the StarMech specialization has created a dependence on interstellar trade, the high quality of StarMech material has created de facto allies out of several stellar nations, especially the affluent Rigunmor Star Consortium. No one wants to see StarMech robotic shipyards cease operation. | The Collective's economy walks a delicate line between free republic and corporation.

| - | The StarMech military has been rebuilt since GW2. Today, StarMech boasts a young and new navy easily able to defend the Collective's borders. StarMech military vessels, like all StarMech craft, are at the leading edge of starship design, with systems and sensors of unrivaled sophistication. More important, to StarMech minds, is the unquestioned reliability of StarMech engineering; their ships never fail to pass inspection. As StarMech naval forces grow, many Starmechs see a day when fortune may smile, and they may take vengeance on the Thuldans. Three new [[Fortress Ships|fortress ships]] are already being assembled by the nation's robotic fitting yards. | + | The StarMech military has been rebuilt since GW2.

| In the Verge, StarMech's control over the Tendril system is still a matter of some dispute, but StarMech hopes to resolve the matter legally. In addition, it has sent robotic scouts to all nearby systems to establish additional footholds in the region. | In the Verge, StarMech's control over the Tendril system is still a matter of some dispute, but StarMech hopes to resolve the matter legally.

| Lot's of people have friends, but you have a lot of friends. These friends though are mechanical in nature. Wherever you go, they go, and are often followed by a small army of robots. Whatever the team needs, you generally have a robot for that. You have controlling and coordinating them down to an art, and when other robots are often encountered during your adventures, you are the one to either hack it, destroy it, or preferably, steal it. | Lot's of people have friends, but you have a lot of friends.
