Outer Veil; my sci-fi setting for 15mm

I am the author of Outer Veil, a whole new campaign setting for the Mongoose Traveller RPG. It is a near-Earth, near-future setting with relatively "hard" ("realistic") science with a feel comparable to that of Alien(s), Outland, Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy and the earlier books in the timeline of Larry Niven's Known Space.

As the proud author of this work, I've decided to set a wargame campaign in this fluff as well. While no living sentient aliens have been found so far, pirates, terrorists, Secessionists, corporate mercs and hostile wildlife abound - so the FNH (Federated Nations of Humanity) Marine Corps, Justice Commission and Planetary Armies have their hands full.

The factions I have in mind are:
FNH Marine Corps - Rebel Minis EarthForce Marines
FNH Planetary Army (from a rich Core planet) - Khurasan Federal Army
FNH Justice Commission Agents - ???
Colonial Militia - Khurasan Sepuldevan Resistance
Secessionists - Rebel Minis Armed Gunmen and Rebel Minis Sahadeen
Colonists - GZG Armed and Unarmed Colonists, CMG ARC Fleet Recon
Bandits - 15mm.co.uk Cultists
Low-grade Mercs - 15mm.co.uk Rim Mercs and Post-Apocalyptic Survivors
High-Grade Mercs - CMG ARC Fleet, Eureka Sci-Fi Germans, Rebel Minis Titan Marines
Corporate Security - Rebel Minis Force-9
Pirates - GZG Ravagers, should also have a vacc suited version
Bezerk Robots - GZG and 15mm.co.uk robots
Cyborgs - 15mm.co.uk SHM range cyborgs
Xenomorphs - ??? I am looking for something more exotic than Khurasans Space Demons (but I'll settle with the Space Demons if other options won't be available)

The settings I have in mind are:
Earthlike planet (regular temperate/jungle terrain with some alien plants)
Marginal Planet (desert or tundra terrain)
Dustball (Mars terrain)
Rockball (Lunar terrain)
Space Station/Starship (interior terrain)

Sounds a good start Golan! :D

I too am not a fan of Aliens in my Sci-Fi. One background I love is the Firefly/Serenity one for that reason.

No need for too many living sentient aliens if there is enough human strife around. :D
