OverviewEdit

What Makes an Organization?=Edit

A faction is a collection of individuals that (ideally) share goals; with knowledge, order, pleasure, power, and/or profit being typical pursuits. Members of the group typically share a hierarchy, traditions, and regulations; none of which are obliged to be complex or strongly enforced.

Types of Groups

• Military Group - These groups are characterized by the use force or the threat of force to achieve their goals, which can vary wildly between different groups: for instance mercenaries motivated by profit vs. regulators motivated by order.

What To AvoidEdit

These are not all hard rules, but serve as a guide. If you follow these guidelines, you will not likely violate the rules or credulity, or simply make something that nobody else would be interested in reading about or contributing to.

• Fan clubs or extensions of a single character.
• Large amounts of high-technology and industrial capability.
• Infallible and/or unassailable factions, including perfect "hive mind"-like cohesion.
• The means and the wherewithal to dominate enormous areas, whether they actually do so or not.
• Strong ties, whether friendly or antagonistic, to canon factions.
• Vast communications abilities.
