The Veynor region, Directorate space
The Directorate is a faction in the Starpoint Gemini universe. They're the main responsibles for the First Gemini War that first ravaged the system in 3079, and the Second Gemini War that caused mass destruction and chaos in 3102.
History
The Colonial Directorate was once the Empire's right hand in Gemini, but has now fallen to be one of its worst enemies. In a world where their former master needs them no longer, the Directorate is slowly but firmly finding its own heading. They have proven to be masters of adaptation. Even surrounded by enemies that greatly exceed them in numbers, they have persisted and managed to form a stable, though totalitarian regime in the region of Veynor.
They started the First Gemini War when they bombed Fairuz until it was reduced to a toxic waste, and suffered defeat after defeat, being forced on the retreat by the Gemini League, all the way up to Starpoint Gemini itself. Once it seemed defeat was certain, the Directorate did their most horrific deed yet, when they enacted Directive Nine.
Directive Nine forced the Gateway, the wormhole that connected Gemini and Sol, to close. Unfortunately, the device used to close the Gateway destabilized space and time all over Gemini, sealing the entire Starpoint in a stasis rift, along with most of both the League and the Directorate's fleets.
The few members of the Directorate that stayed in Gemini, led by Michael Bonaparte, proceeded to infiltrate and sow discord on the ravaged Gemini, causing the splintering of the League, and the birth of the three major factions of the Baeldor Republic, the Korkyran Triumvirate, and the Nyxian Consortium.
23 Years after the Starpoint Incident, the Directorate enacted their true plan. They forced Baeldor and Korkyra to fight and beat each other to an inch of their lives, after which the Directorate and their Nyxian allies would free the Starpoint from its stasis rift, allowing the Empire to return and crush the dissenters once and for all.
Unfortunately for Bonaparte, his plan were ruined by a Revenant, a man who'd been trapped in a rift since the war's end, his name was Jared Hunt, a League captain. Hunt and his allies revived the Gemini League and stopped the war the Directorate started. Once again forced between a rock and a hard place, Bonaparte freed the Starpoint from the rift with the help of the Nyxians. Bonaparte didn't live to see what a horrible mistake he made. When Grand Admiral Cavurian's fleet entered Gemini, they proceeded to fight everyone, even the Directorate.
The Directorate's remnants, hated by all and betrayed by their former masters, retreated to the region of Veynor, where they have stayed ever since.
They have in the past attempted to invade the Mycaena cluster, however they faltered when they reached Masada Station.
