Name of Product LineDescription

Belgian Aeronefs
Brazilian Aeronefs
British Aeronefs
DreenoiOne of the factions in the Starguard universe.
Dutch Aeronefs

Islamic Federation (Full Thrust)The Islamic Federation is a significant minor power, capable of competing directly with any other power except the four Major Powers. It enjoys a large pool of manpower and abundant natural resources, but suffers from an overly aggressive foreign policy and a second rate technological capability. The Federation is in theory ruled by the Sultan with the assistance of the provincial and planetary amirs; in practice, the amirs only put their feuding on hold when it is obviously necessary to fight off an immediate outside threat.
Japanese Aeronefs
JunkersGrim authoritarian faction in the VOID gaming universe.
KaylonAncient race of galactic traders. Motivated by wealth, power, and influence. Ships crewed by mercenaries from many races. Kaylon technology is superior, but their bases are remote and repairs are difficult.

Oceanic Union Defence Force (OUDF)The Oceanic Union is a federation of states, covering the South Pacific, with some off-world colonies. The OU armed space forces consist of a relatively large Navy, which is composed of semi-civilian multipurpose patrol, cargo and exploration craft, and a much smaller purely military fleet. Most of the patrol craft can be converted to fleet capable units at short notice, but few stocks of the expensive conversion kits are held (enough for about 20%).

United Colonies (SC3600)Faction in the Squadron Commander 3600 game universe.
United Nations (FT)The United Nations of the current era bears little resemblance to the troubled institution born in the aftermath of World War II. The UN maintains stability over the Inner Systems, and keeps the peace by maintaining the balance of power among all the Great Powers. This means the UN leads a very exciting and very dangerous life. UN ships are technically superior, and have the unique advantage of being built around modular systems that can be quickly swapped in and out. However, the UN fleet is also small, suffering from budget constraints.
VASAPolice force and intermediary in the VOID gaming universe.
