"Life and Death are intertwined in battle. So are light and dark. One cannot be without the other. The Conflict shapes us, lets us grow, and trims us down to our essence."
-- Dr. Gretchen (Year 29338) Member of the Silver City Historian Council

The conflict on Rubi-Ka has been raging for many years now, since the ICC have given Omni-Tek a free license to mine Rubi-Ka for Notum. The truth is the hyper corporation is so dependant on the mineral notum that this single planet is the most important resource Omni-Tek possesses. Having patented nano-technology over 250 centuries ago, the company has grown into a monster with an astounding 282 billion employees. Its origin is unknown, what little is known about Omni-Tek is that it appeared in the late 22nd century. Although the current board of Directors is unknown for the most part, Philip Ross is known to be the chairman, he is a resident of Rubi-Ka and oversees all operations.

Of course, not everyone shares Philip Ross' idea of how Rubi-Ka should be, these "Rebels" are scattered throughout Rubi-Ka and separated into clans. These clans have quite different methods of getting Omni-Tek's attention; some tend to stick to political means, while others resort to extreme violence claiming that any Omni-Tek employee is an enemy.

The company itself is divided into seven distinct departments:

Omni-Pol:
Tasks: Police, military, guarding - the servants of the public.

Omni-InternOp:
Tasks: Special Operations, spying, assassinations - the antibodies of the company.

Omni-Med:
Tasks: Medical research, biotechnology, drugs - the seekers of knowledge.

Omni-Reform:
Tasks: Social engineering, information, brainwashing - the teachers of the public.

Omni-Adm:
Tasks: Administration, bureaucracy, diplomacy, trade - the nerves of society.

Omni-Mine:
Tasks: Mining, extracting minerals, production - the workhorses of society.

Omni-TransCom:
Tasks: Transportation, teleporting, communication, infrastructure.

Although little is known about the inner workings of most of the departments, terrible stories have filtered through about the Omni-Reform techniques, and any Rebel captured by Omni-Pol is to be "re-educated". How much of an education they receive is open to debate.

They are known for having the most advanced military units in the galaxy, and while their equipment is top notch, the Rebels manage to keep pace with them by being more skilled and better organized.
