The Mido Confederation is one of the four factions in Galaxy on Fire 2. Its population is made up of both Terran and Nivelian rebels which broke away from their respective factions in the Nivelian Civil War. Its full name is the Mido Confederation of Planets. The Mido Confederation is the smallest of the four factions, and the least developed, considering the Tech level of many of the stations.
Station Design
Mido space stations are generally tall and pillar like with a few projections near the middle or lower parts of the station. They follow the same color scheme as their ships. The lounges are darker and centered more around the bright bar to the left side. Their stations seem to be similar to Nivelian designs, except dilapidated, as if beaten by war scars and hit by weaponry. This is consistent with the fact that Nivelian fleets and patrol regularly mount assaults on Mido stations and ships.
Ship Design
All Mido ships follow an orange, brown, and grey color scheme. Midorian ships are mostly comprised of scrap parts. They usually have something resembling wings on both sides with oversized engines mounted on them, except for their cargo ships. The cockpits on Midorian craft tend to droop downward, with the exception of freighters. Midorian ships are generally cheaper and inferior to Terran or Nivelian ships, although most of them have excellent handling.
History
The Mido Confederation was founded by Terran and Nivelian rebels and outlaws during the Nivelian Civil War. The Terran Federation has recognized them, but the Nivelian Republic still claim Mido as part of their territory and, as a result, there are still many skirmishes along the Mido-Nivelian border between the two factions. Eventually the Eanya system, formerly part of the Nivelian Republic, joined the Midorian Confederation. The conflict gave rise to many would-be notable figures, from freedom fighters like Bargand Surr to opportunists like Hogar Meton/Malon Sentendar.
During the Void Threat, the Midorian Fleet attacked a Nivelian frieghter containing explosives vital to stopping the Voids, and they were tharwted by mercenary pilot Keith T. Maxwell.
Around 3626 A.D, the Nivelian leader Trunt Harval, manipulating the ongoing conflict between the factions, ignited an artificial supernova in the Mido sector, rendering the Ginoya system uninhabitable, and endangering the rest their territory. The Terran Federation assisted in evacuations. Eventually, the entire disaster was suppressed with the efforts of Deep Science and the Terran Federation.
During the exploration and colonization of both the Shroud Nebula and Neox Sector, the Midorians stayed behind to rebuild their society from the ruins of the supernova disaster, and were hence not affected by The Shattering.
Political Situation
The Mido Confederation's main nemesis is the Nivelian Republic. Both factions are still publicly at war, although many Nivelians have been protesting and signing petitions for a ceasefire. However, the Black Guard extremists will stop at nothing to reclaim the Mido territory.
Society
Midorian society is very liberal and open, and their social policies are "laissez-faire" centered. This causes their society to be anarchic yet technologically competitive. Most Midorians have a pioneering spirit toward deep space, and are fully aware of its dangers.
The Terrans and Nivelians that live in the Mido territories coexist peacefully, due to being able to understand each other's past hardships. There are rumors of Terran-Nivelian pairings, but no evidence has presented itself to support this.
Trivia
- The Mido emblem looks like the Nivelian emblem, except that the "rings" of the Nivelian emblem are turned out, and the central hexagon being replaced with a circle.
- All Mido systems' security ratings are "dangerous" to represent their political instability, as they are not only at war with the Nivelian Republic but also cannot protect themselves against pirates.
- Midorians aren't a part of GoFA.
- Midorians are the only major faction that do not assist against the Void threat.
- No Midorian ship ever has a turret slot, unlike all other factions. Compared to the Terrans, most of their ships support turrets.
- The Mido Confederation is also the faction that never has a Tech Level 10 station (with the exception of planets in Loma, which are under pirate control), their highest tech level is 9 (Dekato).
- The Mido Confederation is also mostly known for mining and the presence of large asteroid farms, hence the Mining Plant in Coromesk.
