- The Starfall Union: UNIFIED — Student body is no longer divided by discipline, but grouped by the Grey resonance.
- Imperial Ministry: EXTERMINATIONIST -- Attempting to purge the "Anomaly" via the Severance Key.
- The Student Union: UNIFIED -- Operating under Elara; training in the hybrid "Grey Arcanum."
## Active World Events
