As a result, they tend to go to war with the Hive and the Believers, who favor these forms of government. The Peacekeepers favor democratic politics and may not use a police state government in social engineering, and neither are they keen on religious dogma thanks to their liberal universalist tendencies. In votes for Planetary Governor and Supreme Leader, Lal's experience with politics means the Peacekeepers' votes are doubled. Peacekeeper colonies may grow two sizes beyond normal population restrictions. The United Nations-style bureaucracy of the faction causes them to have a negative efficiency rating, but the Peacekeepers attract intellectual elites. Led by Commissioner Pravin Lal of India, the UNS Unity's Chief Medical Officer and third-in-command after its arrival in the Alpha Centauri system, the Peacekeepers make planetfall with the technology Biogenetics. This faction works hard to keep the peace through diplomacy and maintaining the United Nations charter. Most likely to lock horns with the research averse Believers' faction. Due to the University's lack of ethics in regards to research and experimentation, the faction suffers from more drones, representing the underclasses' discontent with and distrust of their amoral, well-educated leaders. Every University base comes equipped with a Network Node base facility for free (nodes boost research by another 50% and allow the base to study alien artifacts, and have other benefits related to certain secret projects). The brilliant researchers of the University allow it to discover new technologies 20% faster than normal, but the openness of their academic networks leaves them prone to infiltration from other factions' probe teams. The University makes planetfall with Information Networks, as well as one other level 1 technology of the player's choice. The University is led by Academician Prokhor Zakharov of Russia, Unity's chief science officer. University of Planet Ī technocratic faction that values knowledge and scientific advancement above all else, including ethics. The Gaians prefer Green economics and may not use a Free Market system in social engineering, and look upon Planned economics as little better - which usually leads them to bitter hostilities with the Morganites, the Spartans, and the Hive. The Gaians are pacifistic and freedom-loving, giving rise to their weaknesses: low troop morale and a lower tolerance for policing. The Gaians also receive one extra nutrient from fungal squares and their infantry units can move through xenofungus with reduced movement penalties. The Gaians' ecological safeguards allow them to avoid ecological damage and to capture native mind worms (they also automatically succeed on their first attempt to capture a mind worm), and their experience with lifecycles and recycling gives them an efficiency bonus. The Gaians make planetfall with the technology Centauri Ecology. They are led by Lady Deirdre Skye ( Unity officer in charge of hydroponics) of Free Scotland. The Gaians are a faction that values living in ecological harmony with Planet and abhors ecological destruction, particularly after the way humanity left Earth. The Spartans are likely to press vendetta against the University. They make Planetfall with the Doctrine: Mobility technology. The Spartans prefer the Power social engineering choice and may not pursue Wealth, all the while remaining wary of those who don't choose an emphasis on Power. However, the society's devotion to military imposes a 10% penalty to industrial production. The Spartans' skilled military expertise allows them to build prototype units without extra mineral cost. Spartan units receive morale upgrades (making them better fighters) and their disciplined society is naturally tolerant of martial law, allowing two military units to help suppress a colony's drones. Colonel Corazón Santiago, a survivalist from Puerto Rico, and a UNS Unity Security officer, leads the faction, and led the initial mutiny aboard ship. True to its namesake, the militaristic Spartan faction places the highest priority on strength, discipline and combat readiness. Original Alpha Centauri factions Spartan Federation
