Empire Rising is an open-alpha science-fiction game and community built around a living world shaped by its players. Positioned as a new era beyond Face of Mankind, it invites players to join one of eight factions and take part in the Dominion’s evolving story. Each faction has its own identity, leadership, permanent ranks, contacts, and player-written information, giving members a place to understand its structure and contribute to its direction.

The eight factions span law enforcement, military, peacekeeping, a syndicate, mercenaries, and three corporations focused on colonization and mining, EuroCore, and Vortex, Inc. Players can explore faction profiles, connect with the community, and follow development through news, patch notes, faction announcements, and community events. Empire Rising also offers forums, game support, a Discord community, account registration, and a client download for those ready to enter the alpha. With editable headquarters and player-led organizations, the project emphasizes community participation and the ongoing development of its science-fiction setting.
