Independent Leaque (I-L)
The I-L is a group of fractions that decided to defend eachother. These fractions are "Aliens" and were not known until the Mantis got defeated. The I-L defended all his planets and systems when the Mantis arrived, now the humans have taken out the mantis, the I-L has all the ways open to destroy the human empire, by using the anger between the Imperials and the Colonials.
The I-L are spred over a large number of systems and planets, and are not scared to fight, this is why there is not much information about them.
Ok, this idea what i have posted before could be an after mantis universe,
think about the fraction vs fraction, that plays in another time, the I-L could be in a more close future, 50 years later something. Maybe the imperials that changed to be friends of enemies from the colonials.
I was also thinking of a ground story, how the I-L became so powerfull and why it attacked the humans and not the mantis.
Lashida The Peace-Queen
Lashida is a Mantis Hive Qeen, it is amazing how she survived, the normal Mantis Hive Queen killed all the others so she never needed to give here empire away, and so no other Mantis Hive Queen's survived, untill a great guy called Mitoun The Saver, Saved Lashida. Mitoun and Lashida fled from system to system with there ships, and met lot's of other "Aliens", They founded the I-L to protect systems, planets and aliens from destroying, Lashida became a Mantis Hive Queen, but choosed to be passive, but when attacked they are not scared to fight back. But the Human Empire got attacked, the Mantis used the fight between the Rebels and the Imperials to get there artifacts, but soon a Pirate would change it and fight back against the Mantis. He slaughtered many Mantis, what made Lashida angry, when the mantis empire falls, Lashida wanted revenge for all those mantis that got killed in a stupid war. And so the war begun.
Mitoun The Saver
Mitoun The Saver is the saver of the Mantis Queen, and so he became the King, he wasn't stupid and invented lots of great power sources. Now he leads the army of the I-L and gets only victories.
