The New Monarchy rose from the chaos of the Faction Wars with a simple, inclusive guiding tenet: "Together we will rise." Leery of the fragile state of the City's politics, the New Monarchy maintains a watchful eye on the Speaker, the Consensus, and the Vanguard, seeking the leadership that will properly reign over the City and return civilization to its Golden Age splendor. To New Monarchy, if that leadership cannot be found, then it must be created. Members of New Monarchy are known for their ambition, drive and executive legal powers, New Monarchy arms and supplies the City's Guardians who are willing to fight to reclaim the solar system.
Future War Cult (FWC) is one of the three factions of The City. The FWC is known for its vast military prowess, as well as its secrecy. The FWC believes that another war with The Darkness cannot be avoided, regardless of whether they stay in or flee the City; therefore they must be ready to fight.
Dead Orbit is one of the three factions of The City, committed to leaving Earth for a new homeworld. The Dead Orbit logo can be seen around The City as well as members of Dead Orbit. They intend to escape an already dying Earth before the Darkness's return, as they've given up on the Traveler and put little faith in the City's ability to hold out against a major attack. While they recognize that such a move could be very costly in terms of lives, they see no other alternative for survival, and instead put their faith in finding enough Golden Age technology in vaults and abandoned shipyards to allow them to escape and find a new homeworld.
