There are two main political factions in the masses of humanity that have spread to the stars. The Shapers, and the Mechanists. These factions have two different schools of thought on posthuman alteration of the body, the former organic, the latter taking the cyborg route.

They are not the only organisations that exist, but are the most influential.
