Rimsenal Faction Pack - Federation

Rimsenal: Federation Faction Pack

Adds a new hostile faction: the Federation Peacekeeper Corps.

Once a proud protector of the great interstellar state known as the Federation, the Peacekeeper Corps are now a twisted, corrupted shadow of their former selves. After the collapse of the Federation’s atrocious government, the surviving remnants of the tyrannical Peacekeeper Corps fled to the rimworlds, scattered by relentless pursuers.

Now, they raid planets for anything they can seize—resources, technology, even slaves—before their ancient enemies finally catch up to them.

The FPC is an exceptionally aggressive and brutal faction. They never negotiate and are always on edge, haunted by the fear of being hunted down. Their access to preserved Federation-era technology makes them especially dangerous adversaries.

*Order, Peace, Unity

Without order, there is no peace. Without peace, there is no unity. Without unity, there is no order.*

Once upon a time, at the very core of the galaxy, there stood a great and honorable interstellar empire known only as “The Federation.” The Federation Peacekeeper Corps served as guardians of the people, with justice as their guiding principle. But during the long and harrowing Mechanoid War, everything changed. Freedom and fairness were sacrificed in the name of security, and oppression and tyranny were justified in the name of order.

In time, a new war began—one not against an external threat, but against the Federation itself.

Unprepared for the chaos born from within, the Federation quickly unraveled. Its armies were destroyed, its government overthrown. In broad historical terms, its vast empire—and its once-feared Peacekeeper Corps—became little more than another forgotten chapter in the history.

Yet on the distant rimworlds, the name of the Federation, and the memory of its merciless hounds, still means something very different...

Rimsenal: Faction Pack – Federation is designed to present you with an unprecedented form of threat. New enemies have set their sights on your settlement. Though they are merely the remnants of a shattered interstellar empire, they still possess enough power to bring your colony to its knees. No fear. No mercy. The elite soldiers and advanced weaponry of the Federation are coming for you. Will you survive their onslaught?

**The peacekeepers: **The Federation Peacekeeper Corps (FPC) is not your typical bunch of pirate scum. They come equipped with a wide array of tools to ruin your day—Bion peacekeepers, masses of conscripted troops and suicide bombers, and the ruthless Federator mech suits. To survive against such highly organized forces, you'll need to take a very different approach.

**The burning sword: **Arms Dynamics crucible weapons, used by the Federation Peacekeeper Corps, fire high-heat projectiles instead of conventional bullets. Due to the self-incineration devices installed in these weapons, FPC gear cannot be salvaged in the usual way. Instead, you must reproduce crucible weapons using materials obtained by butchering the remains of Bions.

**To slay the tyrants: **FPC’s Foerum armor plates offer excellent protection against conventional bullets but are highly vulnerable to blunt kinetic impacts. You’d do well to keep this in mind when facing the powerful forces of the Peacekeeper Corps. While blunt melee weapons and explosives are effective, there may be other methods of exploiting this weakness.

New Equipments

Arms Dynamics, the burning sword

Once the premier weapons manufacturer of the Federation, Arms Dynamics continues to supply a wide range of equipment to the ruthless Federation Peacekeeper Corps.

Their weapons utilize a unique “energy crucible” technology that converts matter into heat energy with minimal energy loss.

Unlike conventional firearms, crucible weapons inflict heat-based damage. When used against mechanoid threats, they apply a Crucible Corrosion effect, rendering the target more vulnerable to subsequent heat damage.

New Enemies

Federation Bions

At the core of the Federation Peacekeeper Corps are Bio-Drones, also known as Bions. These weaponized xeno-humans were originally engineered to combat mechanoid invaders, but are now deployed in brutal raids against small rimworld settlements.

Their Foerum exoskeleton offers strong protection against conventional firearms—but they are notably vulnerable to explosive weapons and blunt-force attacks.
