Faction

A faction is a major group or organization in the galaxy that ship crews can join. Factions can be governments, such as the Colonial Union; corporations, such as the Wolden-Dorf Corporation or the Fluffy Biscuit Company; or criminal associations such as the Alliance of Gentlemen. Each faction has a reputation score for each manned ship, one or more hubs, their own ship designs, and a central government that can send orders via long-range communications.
