Organizations:

Universe 1 - Separatist Empire exists
Universe 2 - Separatist Empire doesn't exist, most would be Separatist Territory falls under control of the Goa'uld, United Royal Republics, URR Separatist Groups, and the USC

United Skaarj Clans (USC) - Des's Democratic Skaarj and Yautja empire. Des perfected Democracy and still rules over the USC. Des is both General of the USC and Emperor. He may have the final say in all things, but he lets his people run the government.
Universe 1 - The USC is one of the last few empires standing against the Separatist Empire, so far they have not incurred the wrath of their leader in order to be attacked and conquered.
Universe 2 - The USC is the universal superpower, their two largest threats are the United Royal Republics and the Goa'uld Empire (this being the larger of the two) though it does have other enemies

United Royal Republics - A universal power containing, at one time, two separate empires, the Royal Empire and the United Republics. For a time they joined together as the United Galactic Republics and were successful, the Royal Empire being the intelligence, research, and construction [of ring and sphere worlds] arm and the United Republics handling brute force. Eventually the UR would become more powerful and annex the RE, creating the United Royal Republics.
Universe 1-The URR merges with the Separatist Empire, splinter groups from the URR were defeated by their former great commander, Generalfeldmarschal Boss
Universe 2 - The URR has suffered from corruption, people have seen this and have splintered off into URR Separatist Groups, they are still not as large of a threat as the URR however, seeing as how most people still remained loyal

Royal Separatists - A URR Splinter Group, this is the first one to split and the most prominent of the splits because many of the Royal Empire Homeworlds joined it, but not enough to make a big difference. They do have some military might, but only enough to fight a short defensive war or one short, brief offensive on a lightly guarded planet.
Universe 1-This group is the last remnant of the URR that refuses to go down. It controls 2% of the universe and is probably going to be eliminated if they mess with the Seps or the USC
Universe 2-The strongest of the 4 groups that split off from the URR. Controlling 3% of the universe, it poses very little threat to the USC.

Golden Separatists - A URR Splinter Group, this split took away several military bases and mining colonies away from the parent empire. It's a totalitarian dictatorship led by "The Highest Golden Ones" due to their wealth and golden armor.
Universe 1-This group was eliminated by the 4th Hunter Battalion under control of Generalfeldmarschal Boss
Universe 2-The 2nd most powerful of the 4 groups, more powerful than the Royals in military might, but lacking in size, controlling only 3% of the universe.

Pure Separatists - A URR Splinter Group, this split only took away religious planets, about 1/6 of the entire URR.
Universe 1-Surrendered to the forces of MG Ralikor and 1st USC on the Eastern Front and to the forces of Boss on the Western Front
Universe 2-Controlling only 1% of the universe, it's tied with the Urn Consortium. It's a powerful political power but its military is nothing, only having 3 frigates and 1 troop transport ship for a navy and 1 infantry division, 1 artillery company, and 2 armor squads for an army

Urn Consortium - A URR Splinter Group, this is the weakest of the groups, despite that fact, it is only known to exist only for a few years due to lack of government and a military force.
Universe 1-Destroyed by orbital strikes from the Separatist Empire, Boss didn't want to risk his droids at the hands of maniacs.
Universe 2-Amazingly containing 1% of the universe as well, it's completely unorganized and poses no threat to anyone but themselves, the USC plans to move in and pacify the area after they tear each other to pieces.

Imperial Arms - The primary supplier of all weaponry to all droid soldiers under Boss. They can supply anything from DC-15 Blaster Rifles to M4 Carbines to 1854 Musket Rifles if they needed to.
Universe 1-One of the two sole suppliers of weaponry to the Separatist Empire. Originally called Republican Galactic Armorers under the URR, it left it along with Boss to supply weapons to the merged URR as Imperial Arms. RGA weapons can still be seen on the battlefront but are rare since most RGA stamps have been replaced with IA stamps.
Universe 2-Still existing as the RGA, they provide many many weapons to the URR as well as making civilian versions of those guns. The USC Special Forces have gotten their hands on them and have converted them to their military equivalent.


More will come eventually



Works in Progress:

Two Lives, One Love - The mini novel about the lives of Kwei and Al. Kwei is a superbeast and you'll find out why XP. [HALTED until I can get another chapter]

AR-S Military Compact Pump Action Shotgun - One of my crazy shotgun ideas based off the Quake 4 Shotgun. I may put this in the scraps. [85% done, really halted on it XD]

Videos

[link] PPSh-41 and AK-47 vids. You think anybody can stand up to em?
[link] 3 Doors Down - Citizen Soldier If I talk to any of you over IMing things, you know I'm the guy that's going to get the commission into the US Army, becoming a Second Lieutenant, then retiring as Brigadier General after serving at the minimum 30-33 years. Our BN Commander's an MP in the guard, and this song rocks.
