Infinity is a 28mm Sci-Fi Skirmish game set 175 in the future. Man has set off and populated the nearest star systems which are collectively called The Human Sphere. The eleven star systems that make up The Human Sphere are connected by a series of wormholes that are traversed by massive internationally owned trade ships and this vast network is known as Circulars, overseen by an authority called 0-12 an offshoot of the United Nations. In order to maintain the Circulars and the power governing the main trading routes of The Human Sphere an Artificial Intelligence called Aleph is allowed to exist, but Aleph is more than just an overseer to the Circulars it is an integral part of the lives of all citizens within The Human Sphere and indispensable for the governing powers as they struggle to control their territories and push their own agendas.
The main powers and therefore Factions within Infinity will be familiar though some maybe surprising to 21st century earthlings.....
Pan-Oceania
The biggest, most powerful and technologically advanced of all the societies in The Human Sphere. Pan-Oceania came into existence in the 21st century after the decline of the US as a world power and the stunted growth of the EU causing a power vacuum that was filled with the surprising pact of Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and Malaysia who were later joined by the Philippines and India.
Yu Jing pronounced you-cheeng
Yu-Ching has grown out of the success of the tiger economies especially the powerhouse that is China. With the increasing influence over the region that China imparted in the 21st century it wasn't long before they assimilated many countries of the Far East including North Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia. Laos and Burma. Later because of the US economic decline South Korea and Japan joined the fold.
Ariadna
