Name: Coalition of Sovereign Independent Colonies (C-SIC)
Theme - Sleek and angular, the Confederation's military relies on high technology and expensive equipment, rather than sheer numbers, to get the job done. Since, almost by definition, the Confederation's members tend to be highly independent, risk-taking, and ambitious, Confederation technology is rarely standard from one person to another. Not scavenged or scrap equipment haphazardly thrown together, but rather, custom-ordered and built, with versatility and specialization being a focus of their operation. Due to it being so individualized, Confederation equipment is often concerned with form as much as function, the specific appearance depending on the person using it, their mindset, job, and motivation. Regardless, almost always having just the right tool for the task at hand, quality over quantity, and custom-built equipment that rarely looks the same even within the same squad, are all signature characteristics of the Confederation military.
Fluff - The Confederation is a conglomerate of small mega-corps, primarily those which funded colonization efforts over the last century or so. Created about 30 years ago, it was intended to allow the mega-corps to get away from what they felt were overly-restrictive laws imposed by terrestrial governments. Their 'revolution' succeeded, after a six year war with three of the countries that had refused to let them go(many of the rest simply didn't have the wealth, manpower, and/or need to keep them from becoming independent). They have since become an economic powerhouse, by virtue of monopolizing many regions of space and interstellar travel. Though one of the smallest 'countries', the Confederation is one of the most advanced, due to the large numbers of scientists and access to phenomenon unknown on Earth. They have recently become skilled in nano-technology, and are selling such technology(with measures to prevent reverse engineering, of course) to terrestrial governments.

Name - Unity Mining, Inc.
Specialty - Vehicle designs are modified mining vehicles. They are slow and heavily armored, with moderate firepower and a bulky aesthetic.
Our infantry are conscript-quality, and tend to be heavy on cheap anti-vehicle weapons and man-portable light artillery.
Fluff - Unity Mining, Inc. was founded 82 years ago, and has since become one of the largest mining corporations, through both luck and unscrupulous leadership. Roy Howell ascended to the role of CEO five years ago, and has been restructuring the company, with the aim of expansion through force of arms in less stable areas. He intends to then leverage this wealth and power for monopolistic Lunar mining rights

Note - You can have a decent amount of actions per turns, (Example: move to cover, fortify, and fire at any movement), but you cannot do actions based on others' actions before the turn ends.
Just a basic map to get people warmed up. Black boxes are cover. There's half cover and full cover. Each giving varying levels of protection. Assume most land objects to be cover (including tanks, and such.) Full cover will be indicated on the map. Participation is not required, but encouraged. Everyone is in control of only their unit. Units without armor are extremely vulnerable, so watch out. You can still request and discuss team changes until this battle is over.
Urist, teams are full, but I've put you on the waiting list. If someone drops out of a team and you're available, I'll send you a message. If you haven't gotten in the round at all, and another one is started (campaigns = rounds, in case anyone didn't know already), and I'll give moderate priority to you joining.
