Enyo



"'Equally repelled by Federal Earth’s inequities and Troja’s 'might-makes-right' attitude, Enyoans are determined to foster a culture of transparency, moral accountability, and spiritual enlightenment.'""~Enyo Faction Profile"

Overview
Enyo is one of the three rival factions in the Solar System, with the others being Troja and Federal Earth. They are based on Venus, with a contested claim to Ganymeade.

Enyo's government first appeared in 2240 after Project Valkyrie resulted in the successful terraforming of Venus. Enyo's first settlers were disillusioned by life on Earth. They came to Venus looking for something new to believe in. Local faith-based gatherings soon sprang up to fill that need, laying the foundation for what has become a deeply spiritual society. Its government appears to be clerically hierarchical, with Highpriest as a title for leaders of prominent sections of businesses or governments, as with Oberon's Highpriest of Biz Dev, General Aemilius.

Enyoans are excellent engineers, and have served on vessels across the PCF and in the years following the Great Solar War. After the war, Enyoan engineers partially repaired the massive orbital ring Ixion, anchored above Saturn's largest moon, Titan. They were unable to restore the energy shield that protects the structure from cosmic radiation and micrometeoroid impact, however, and are often unsure exactly how some of the reverse-engineered Transhuman technology they construct functions.

Despite its tranquil beauty, Enyo is inhospitable to off-worlders. Popular fashion trends often feature concealing accessories such as masks and gloves, but true privacy is nonexistent due to the nation's cultural and religious morals.

The Gambits
The 44th PCF Regiment, known as "The Gambits," took part in several major actions during the Great Solar War. They were largely Enyoan crews, led by Enyoan Captain Cath Sedella, of Crescent City, Enyo. The Gambits were often rumored to wield supernatural power and luck while facing horrendously tall odds during the Great Solar War. The 44th PCF's most famous action took place at The Battle of Portal. On Halloween, October 31st 2385 CE, a Transhuman attack fleet of hundreds of vessels launched an assault on the PCF outpost of Portal, in orbit of Uranus' moon Sycorax. Captain Sedella commonly prayed and offered to the Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau and Ghede Loa, the spirits of the dead, and did so again during this battle.

The Gembits were severely outgunned, however they dove into vicious combat with the Transhuman fleet. The battle raged for hours, and over half of 44th PCF Regiment was lost, however the Transhuman attack fleet also suffered significant losses and retreated to Neptune. Accounts from many crewmembers after the battle detail strange out-of-body feelings, and that their minds were being invaded or probed. These are commonly attributed to Captain Sedella's Enyoan beliefs and actions at the beginning of the battle.
