The Individualists are a democratic political party in the Exohuman legal and governmental system during the Gamma Age. They stand as the primary opposition to the Communards, advocating for a vision of freedom, self-reliance, and individualism that contrasts sharply with the communal ethos of their counterparts.

Founded on January 14, 2632, in the immediate aftermath of the Great War, the Individualists quickly became a significant political force, channeling discontent with the Peace Treaty and its restrictions into a platform that emphasizes Exohuman progress, growth, and autonomy.

The Individualists trace their philosophical roots to the Free State of Settlers, which they idealize as the pinnacle of human freedom and self-determination. During the Beta Age, the Free State’s system of minimal governance, referendums, and locally elected Contact Persons embodied the Individualists’ values of individual liberty and limited state interference.

The collapse of the Free State in 2631, following the defeat in the Great War and the imposition of the Peace Treaty, is viewed by the Individualists as a catastrophic loss of Exohuman sovereignty. They blame this outcome not on military failure but on the internal divisions caused by the Anti-War Movement. For the Individualists, the Peace Treaty represents a betrayal of the Free State’s principles and a capitulation to Native Tribes that must be undone.

The Individualists believe in minimal governance, prioritizing personal freedom over communal obligations. Their core principles include:

• Freedom from Over-Regulation: Laws should serve to protect individual rights, not restrict them.
• Human-Centric Progress: The needs of humanity should take precedence over respect for Native cultures, though coexistence is not outright rejected.
• Capitalist Growth: The party advocates for a return to a growth-oriented capitalist system, positioning Native Tribes as potential trade partners and labor forces.
• Skepticism of Collectivism: Drawing on the restrictive experience aboard the Last Frontier, Individualists view excessive communal systems as a barrier to personal development and innovation.

• Rejection of the Peace Treaty: The Individualists refuse to recognize the treaty, viewing it as a product of treason by the Anti-War Movement rather than a legitimate resolution.
• Restoration of the Free State of Settlers’ * Ideals: The Individualists aim to re-establish the decentralized governance model of the Free State, with reduced federal oversight.
• Restoration of the Human Settlement Plan: The Individualists are advocating the expansion of the exohuman industry in line with the Human Settlement Plan (HSP).
• Economic Autonomy: The Individualists seek to reintegrate the principles of the HSP, viewing it as the blueprint for building a strong and independent human civilization.

• 2632; In the first elections after the Peace Treaty came into force, the Individualists and their top candidate Thabo "Tony" Forster won 4 seats, establishing themselves as the primary opposition party.

• 2634: Forster’s continued leadership earned the party 5 seats, solidifying their base in Firetown and Hope.

• 2636: In the first election without Aisha Patel as the Communard's top candidate, the Individualists are running the popular politician Jamal Johanson as the top candidate..

The Individualists’ stance on the Native Tribes is pragmatic but often criticized as dismissive. They argue for prioritizing human interests while maintaining a transactional relationship with the Natives as laborers and trade partners.

The Native Tribes view the Individualists cautiously, particularly due to campaign rhetoric that occasionally veers into xenophobia. Complaints about inflammatory slogans or posters have been filed with the Supreme Council of the People, but the party has skillfully navigated these controversies without alienating their voter base.
