Vision, stylized as VISION, is an interplanetary governmental organization with the dual purpose of maintaining peace and security between nations of different worlds and advancing interstellar exploration. It has had many names such as the Interstellar Exploration and Communications Fleet (IECF) and the United Interstellar Foundation (UIF). Previously, this organization existed solely to discover and communicate with other worlds within our galaxy: Mars and Tempus. Now, this faction serves and protects the nations included in the Intergalactic Alliance, acting as either mediators, providers, or combatants to maintain life and peace. Vision employs a proactive approach to investigating potential threats to the Alliance. They conduct covert operations and scout new worlds. Its operatives are trained to adapt to various interplanetary challenges and scenarios.
As the Interstellar Exploration and Communications Fleet, this organization spread humanity’s reach to Mars and Tempus, establishing the first human colonies beyond Earth. Their efforts set the stage for the complex interplanetary relations that would follow. As humanity allied with other nations and planets, they transitioned to the United Interstellar Foundation (UIF). This transition marked a shift in focus from exploration to governance and peacekeeping.
Vision, as we know it today, developed largely due to the appearance of the Exile and the Akrulan threat. The Exile, who arrived on Earth over three centuries ago, brought the groundbreaking technology of Cybernetic Energy Reactors (CER0s)—the foundation for Vision's capabilities and the various CER0 wielder classes. Her proto-CER0 prosthetic right eye, which allows her to use the element of TIME and achieve minor precognitive abilities, inspired the name "Vision." This ability to glimpse the future led to the development of a team capable of stopping the Akrulan conquest. As Vision continues to serve as the last line of defense against the Akrulans, the organization works closely with the Exile to realize her vision of peace and prosperity through nanoether manipulation.
VISION values intelligence, adaptability, and cooperation. The collective belief and understanding that their efforts further the survival and prosperity of the Alliance help to foster unity among its operatives. VISION exists to maintain interplanetary peace and security and advance interstellar exploration. A sense of purpose and adventure drives people to join its ranks.
This faction has a highly organized structure with multiple branches specializing in different areas. These include the diplomatic corps, intelligence units, and combat divisions. Each branch has a clear chain of command, ensuring efficient decision-making and coordination.
VISION employs covert operations, advanced scouting missions, and direct combat to neutralize threats. Operatives are trained to handle diverse interplanetary environments and scenarios, utilizing CER0 technology for strategic advantage. VISION takes a proactive and preventive approach, identifying and eliminating potential dangers before they escalate.
VISION serves the Intergalactic Alliance and works to maintain peace and provide resources for the nations aligned with them.
VISION is led by a diverse council of ambassadors representing various member planets and species within the Intergalactic Alliance. The Supreme Commander oversees the organization's operations and reports directly to the council. Alira Voss currently holds this title. The Exile also plays a crucial role in VISION's leadership, serving as a strategic advisor and providing invaluable insights into potential future threats.
