Introduction
This is where YOU work.
WhiteRapids LLC, or Whiterapids for short, is Central Command's answer to the second syndicate war.
Armed with borrowed tech/ships from Solgov, with financing from Nanotrasen, and crew taken from every major nation of the Federation, Whiterapids is the closest thing there is to an organized Federation-only navy/military.
Due to Nanotrasens incredible contributions, they have been granted effective control of Whiterapids by Central.
History
Subfactions
NanoTrasen
Due to the likely possibility that NT was put up to this by Solgov, and the lacking own "navy" they have decided to go all-in, and effectively turned Whiterapids into an NT controlled navy. They are mainly contributing old ship hulls, crew and incredibly large sums of money.
SolGov
SolGov is the faction that formed WhiteRapids and yet gives them the least of all Federation members. This is due to them not wanting to help too much, as NanoTrasen's current busyness is useful to them. What SolGov does provide is technology, decommissioned ships and manpower.
Dominion of Light
Not truly invested in the war, yet willing to provide what they can in exchange for assistance with protection of their ships. The Dominion provides major amounts of manpower and various advanced technologies.
Draconic Empire
The Draconic Empire is always up for a fight and are obligated to assist the Federation as much as they can. They provide skilled crew, engineers for ship repairs, large amounts of material and joint operations as training opportunities
Faction Relations
NanoTrasen
Due to NanoTrasen's massive backing of WhiteRapids, you could practically call WhiteRapids a NanoTrasen subsidiary. As such relations between them are extremely good with only minor infighting due to some executives believing themselves more capable than actual admirals.
SolGov
Due to SolGov's interest in keeping NanoTrasen busy, they are not inclined to assist beyond the bare minimum. Understandably this causes major friction between the WhiteRapids admiralty and SolGov, with the admiralty being one of the most active supporters of the Expansionists there are.
Dominion of Light
The Dominion truly appreciates WhiteRapids assistance when it comes to protecting their lightly armed territories, and escorting exploration and merchant vessels. As such they provide a disproportionally large amount of manpower to WhiteRapids, and are willing to give technology that SolGov would rather WhiteRapids not have.
Draconic Empire
While the Empire does not need WhiteRapids assistance to protect their territory, there are still multiple Joint Task Forces between the two, to aid with doctrinal development. The good relations between The Empire and NanoTrasen carry over to WhiteRapids as well.
Tortugan Raiders
The Tortugan's are a nuisance. Every major military engagement had at least some pirate involvement, Whether as salvagers after the battle, or in weakening one side before the fight to guarantee a certain border adjustment.
