Gearheads are mecha fans, who generally break out into three more or less inter-related subfactions: Gundamites, Macross/Robotechies, and Super Robot Sentai. Transforming robot fans are generally lumped in with the Macross fen even though Transformers and Brave series robots are thematically closer to sentai superheroes. While there is an “official” faction logo, a cog with optics and a speaker grille, usage is only spotty and likely to be subordinate to genre logos like the Macross fighting kite, Autobot or Decepticon insignia, or the various Gundam unit patches.
The Gearheads are based out of Marsbase Sara, on Mars. They run a Mechatronics mailing list, which is open to all awakened machine lifeforms (in or out of faction).
The Anti-Earth Union Group
| Anti-Earth Union Group | |
| Home Base | A Baoa Qu Station, Earth-Luna L5 |
|---|---|
| Political Influence | Minor |
| Stereotype | The separatist part of the Gearheads |
| “ | The main faction in charge [of L5 station A Baoa Qu] is The Anti-Earth Union Group, which is the biggest voice in the separatist wing of the Convention. Or at least the loudest. It’s worked to the disadvantage of A Baoa Qu a couple of times; their insistence on staying “free of ‘Danelaw ties” means that they avoid trading with some of the larger economic engines in cislunar. | ” |
The AEUG is a coalition of various fen who resent any encroachment of ’Danes into space. They went to space to get away from the ’Danes, and now that they’re “trying to wrest control from the fen”… well, the AEUG won’t stand for it. The fact that there’s no evidence that the ’Danes are doing this doesn’t matter to the AEUG.
They’re peaceful; just ask them. Rumors of secret fleets massing in the Belt are always denied, and they say it’s just fashionable to have epaulets on their red space suits.
