The Dark (LvD)

The Dark, or Darkside, is one of the two primary combatants in the LvD Galaxies; the other being The Light.
== Description ==
The Dark is a direct counter to the Light, and even uses similar ships to it's benevolent cousins. While it is the official stance that the dark exists to destroy all that is good in the universe, history has shown them to be just as capable of acts of honor and altruism as their light counterparts, and their membership does not have any specific moral or ethical requirements.
== Fleet ==
Most of the factions that make up the Dark have their own fleets designed around their individual military doctrines.  However, the Dark offers a number of high quality, ready-made designs to its newer members including courier ships, miners, exploration vessels, frigates, and even full sized warships such as the Moloch-class cruiser.
== History ==
Both the Dark and the Light were born out of an ancient conflict between humanity and and a race of interdimensional beings known as "demons".
Unable to defeat the demons in battle, mankind used the Ironheld device to collapse the dimensions together, effectively melding the aspects of man and demon together into one race; however, the meld was not quite homogeneous.
Since the resulting populations retained various aspects of the demons, those who adopted more of the demons' aspects formed the Dark. Driven by a desire to destroy and a deep hatred of humanity, the Dark sought to continue the war that their purebred demon forerunners started. This war has lasted for so many generations, that only a handful of historians even remember how the war was started, and even fewer people understand why it goes on.Category:Factions
