Very few people know about the Asteroid Union (AU), they live everywhere but are never really seen. They don’t have stations in orbit of any planet, they don't have massive armies or armadas; they live in the rocks, asteroids in secret. They only attack if you do, they’re a peaceful bunch but if you mess with one you mess with all, and like I’ve said before; They’re everywhere, there’s almost nothing they don't know about. They’re always looking and scanning space, hidden in the asteroids, watching battles take place and scavenging the parts, creating their own ships from the scraps they leave behind. Every lost fighter taken and melted to create weapons in the rock.
Their revolutionary ‘Atom Assembling Unit’ (AAU) allows them to take atoms and molecules from any substance and put them together in any way they want; allowing them to make food, water, and even oxygen out of the rocks and minerals in asteroids. Of course, they need to get power to do so, they can’t just do this without a cost. The AAU takes tons of power to operate, so they have camouflaged Solar panels hidden in craters and caverns on the outer part of the asteroids to generate power along with using fuel and coal inside the rock to make power.
Their ships consist of varying stages or ‘stolen’ parts.
- Smaller crafts sometimes would just be stolen and used, sometimes added onto or maybe even combined to make a whole new ship.
- Larger ships would be made from stolen crafts too, but generally modified with their own designs, adding weapons and armor where they seem fit.
- Cruisers and ‘motherships’ are built by the richer engineers. The engineers in the AU are some of the smartest in the galaxy; though, the AU also has some of the dumbest too. But that’s fine, every fleet needs expedible fighter pilots anyway.
- Everything else (stations and colonies) are built into the side of Asteroids because who needs planets to live on anyway.
The thing about the AU is that there really no stellar police or justice system. It’s kinda like a peaceful ‘FFA’; however, they do have one rule, if someone messes with your stuff, then “shoot ‘em dead” without going overboard of course. There is prison however, It holds the worst of the worst. The highest of authority will decide if a person is either executed or taken to jail. To survive on one of these colonies, just don’t be an Idiot. Plain and to-the-point.
There’s no way to get out of a situation either, the AU have the best security with cameras and sensors everywhere with advanced AI that can decide weather to kill the attacker on the spot, stun them, or just set off an alarm depending on how bad the situation is.

Statistics From the AU Generals and Officers
Known Major ‘Islands’ with their Captains:
‘Maine’ - Binks, Windham - Largest colonized Asteroid on record with a population of 23.7K
‘Woodland’ - Bastion, Tito - Known for the biggest and toughest army, population of 18K
‘Rocky’ - Edenfield, Stanford - Likes cannons… Population of 16.7K
‘Azura’ - Ripp, Achilleus - One of the fastest, and strongest. Strikes with power and aggression, you don’t want to mess with him, he knows people. Population of 13.5K
‘Lunis’ - Gold, Wenzel - Looovvveeesss his gold. Has MASSIVE gold storages. Owns more than 15% of the AU’s entire wealth. Population of 9.4K
‘Olympus’ - Ayers, Wakefield - The biggest rock, but doesn’t know how to use it all so he leaves half of it empty. Population of 7K
‘Exposure’ - Butcher, Rick - One of the biggest and wealthiest trade stations, Knows how to handle money and goods like a god. Population of 6K
Unlisted 1,556,372,573 Other colonies with a pop count of between 4K-20.
records of unnamed colonizes unverified reports: 19,097,324 and counting.
Known for: Insane trading of resources mainly. The larger Colonies will offer to build your fleets for you, with a small fee obviously, but the AU has some of the smartest engineers and love what they do, they never miss a spot. Some of the smaller ones will offer repairs and can build smaller fighters.
Total Money: Pfft, who knows. Probably like a 100 trillion in total but there’s, no organization here.
Total Ships/Stations: Again, too many unverified ships.
Head officer/Commander: There’s really no Organized ‘head’, but the bigger guys probably would be in charge I guess.
Planets owned: ….I think this one is self explanatory. We live on asteroids.
Enemies: whoever ticks us off I guess.
Allies: Anyone that trades really, money is everything to us.
Military power: I mean, no organization, and also there's need to cos we're all fine with the state of the galaxy at the moment, but if all of the AU the including unverified ones were at the same place at the same time they’d probably be able to take the galaxy ¯_(ツ)_/¯
If you’d like to join the AU use my cosmetic AU mod (Should be done soon) to make your own asteroid colony/pirated ship, then send me your ship/station/colony along with your captain’s name and we should be good. The AU officials don’t really care about the little details of your ship/colony, just only if it gets too large (4K or over), but if you want to include more detail go ahead 🙂
Requirements: Stations I have listed above are supposed to be the biggest of the biggest please don’t go anywhere up to the size or cost of them please, for lore sake. Try to keep your pop count less that 5K alright? 🙂
