...Friendly factions in The Reactive Principle...

Singleplayer Reactive Principle presents the player with five separate but interwoven campaign stories set in the grim future of our solar system. One challenge of the game is to simply complete them all, but another is to find out how to access them. You start off in the same place, but that doesn't mean that the game ends the same way!

Factions

AFE (American Federal Empire)
The AFE is a brute force dependent navy which uses a large quantity of ordnance and firepower in conjunction with fairly heavy armour. Their craft are slower and more sluggish than those of any other, but they can take more hits than anyone else.

EMC (European Military Coalition)
The EMC favours a more all round naval capacity, with averaging armour and firepower, as well as versatile armour and speed ratios. The EMC also has a much high proportion of defensive systems than any other navy.

Republics of China
The Republics of China favour light fast craft with extraordinary manoeuvrability, as well as outstanding firepower. The Chinese navy is a strike hard, strike fast and strike first navy.

Mining Industry
The Mining industry lacks high technology, but makes up for its losses with sheer numbers. The Mining industry will throw huge quantities of its vessels at the enemy, creating an almost solid screen of metal and weapons fire.

The UNDH (United Nations David Hunters)
The UNDH campaign is by far the hardest to get into. However, the UNDH has the best technology available to mankind, featuring the best possible combinations of firepower, armour and agility that mankind has to offer. The UNDH are a very small elite force, so their pilots must be highly skilled to the maximum to survive the harshest of hostile combat situations.
