===Factions=== The two major factions in ''Tachyon: The Fringe'' are the Bora and the Galactic Spanning Corporation. The Bora are colonists that settled parts of the Fringe decades prior to the arrival of the main character. These colonists have significant holdings in the space, including multiple space stations. However, when they first began colonizing, they did not obtain charters or permits, as an act of defiance. This has led them into conflict with many corporations, most notably GalSpan, which have a new interest in expansion into the Bora's space. The Galactic Spanning Corp, referred to as Galspan for short, is a large Sol-based corporation that is leading the expansion into the Fringe. Using a favorable ruling by a Sol-based court, which dictated that the Bora do not possess any claim to 'squatter's rights', Galspan has launched itself into an extrasolar venture in previously Bora space. Mainly a mining corporation, Galspan also has a formidable PMC force, which it uses to reinforce its legal rights. Star Patrol is the peacekeeping force in the Tachyon galaxy. They are often tough opponents in-game and often act swiftly against any law-breaking inside their jurisdiction. Pirates in the game are the same as the Terran-based variants, save they have rather superior technology. Operating in raids, hostage-taking, or even extortion and racketeering, the pirate clans are a constant threat to security in all Fringe space. One of the two main clans is The Blood Pirate Clan, led by the fierce (and somewhat quirky) pirate captain Redship Rory, with whom the player has direct contact. The second major clan is referred to as the Scav Pirates, which are loosely allied with the Bora. Asteroid barons are multi-millionaires that have set up and rule their own pockets of Fringe space. These warlords have both money and formidable arsenals and often are the subject of in-game missions.
