The descendents of Terran colonists stranded from Earth centuries ago, the Argon became their own thriving civilisation covering a great many systems and forging relations with several alien races. Throughout their short history the Argon Federation has been plagued by war, notably with the Xenon. Their greatest challenge however came from the unlikely source of the reconnected Terrans of Earth where they were plunged into the costly Terran Conflict.
Faction Description
The Argon Federation was founded by the descendants of Terran Settlers cut off from their home system and stranded in deep space during the Terraformer wars. The settlers' colonised planet, Argon Prime, is the Federation's heart, and a cultural and industrial hotspot to this day. The Federation tries to maintain good relations with the other races, if they deem these relations to be mutually beneficial, but ever since the Gate Shutdown, diplomatic relations on all sides are deteriorating and conflicts, such as the war with the Holy order of the Pontifex, emerge.

With the addition of the Split Vendetta DLC the Argon federation gain three new outpost sectors at the top of the map, often players have found these new sectors fall to the neighbouring Zyarth Patriarchy without player intervention.
