[X] Council of Old Blood
-[x] Circumstance of founding: The Empire has brought peace, order and stability to the galaxy. It is the perfect form of government, having purged all the weaknesses of the Republic yet retaining its strengths. There is however still one small problem to fix: the Emperor. Why does a provincial rube from Naboo get to sit on the throne and command us, we whose noble bloodlines stretch back to the founding of the Republic? This cannot stand! Sheev must go, and the position of Emperor abolished to be replaced by a Council of Old Blood.
-[x] Locale: Northern Core
-[x] Core supporters: Imperial nobles and noble-born officers
-[x] Goals or Ideology: "Imperial Constitutional Aristocracy" (AKA Replace the Emperor with a council of imperial nobles, keep everything else the same)
[X] Council of Old Blood (Patriots of Old Alsakan)

Friends we can vote for one or two, not three.
Many interesting groups, but we can only choose two...
[X] The Ash Angels
[X] The Celestine Ark
[X] The Ash Angels
[X] The Celestine Ark
[X] Antarian Rangers
-[X] Circumstance of founding: The Antarian Rangers were first founded hundreds of years before the Clone Wars and the Empire, established as an independent paramilitary organization holding the Force in the same esteem as the Jedi and dedicated themselves to serving as a support organization to members of the Jedi Order. With the rise of the Empire and the fall of the Jedi Order, the organization now dedicates itself to the goal of undermining the Empire, providing much-needed support to survivors of Order 66, and the eventual restoration of a new Jedi Order.
-[X] Locale: Primarily the Northern Outer Rim, with minor presence toward the northern Mid Rim
-[X] Core Supporters: Jedi Supporters, Clone Wars Veterans, Surviving Jedi
-[X] Goals/Ideology: Jedi Loyalists, Jedi Restorationists, Anti-Imperialists; Providing valuable support and shelter to Order 66 survivors, ensuring the long-term survival of the Jedi and eventual restoration of the Jedi Order, providing support to any organization that is working to undermine the Empire that isn't in opposition to the groups aims
[X] Confederacy Restoration Front

[X] Agriculturalists of the Galaxy
-[X] Circumstances of Founding: In the wake of various food shortages all around the galaxy due to the War as well as the Regime Change, various producers, processors, transporters, quality assurance testers, and appreciaters of food found themselves banding together to try to stabilize the food situation and prevent famines.
-[X] Locale: Various Former Agricorp Worlds/Infrastructures ranging from the Outer Rim Territories to the Core in addition to associated trade lanes.
-[X] Core Supporters: Non-Force Using Agricorp Associates, Farmers/Food Producers, Industrialist Food Processors, Food Critics, the former Republic Department of Food Safety, really anyone who understands food scarcity and doesn't want to starve.
-[X] Goals/Ideology: Food = Good. Starvation = Enemy. Every sentient/sapient/potentially tax paying being deserves access to food in such quantities that they do not need to worry about where their next meal is coming from, and it would also be nice if that meal was also tasty alongside being nutritious.
I just think Food is Neat, and that there's a lot to be said about helping people not starve in the wake of rampant corruption and fascism.

Well, that's ten. Interesting organizations everyone, bravo.
Almost forgot, but there is still an option to create factions within the existing ten.

[X] The Builder Coalitions
-[X] Founding: Founded during the height of the Clone Wars this Coalition or alliance of shipyard tycoons and owners were founded to encourage collective bargaining power of shipyards to prevent the Republic from undercutting them of their money and Nationalizing their companies.
-[X] Locale: Mid Rim, Southern Core Rim,
-[X] Core Supporters: Correlian Tycoonist, Kuat Business owners, Shipyard Barons, start up shipyards
-[X] Goal's or Ideology: Liberal Capitalism, Anti-Nationalization, and Prevention of Nationalization.

Didn't notice this. Ok, hold on.
[X] The Celestine Ark (Kyber Eyes)
-[X] Circumstance of founding: Although the vast majority of the CIS droid armies were decommissioned with the end of the Clone Wars, not all were condemned to the scrapyards. Ranging from tactical droids too smart to walk to their deaths to cred-a-thousand B1s too dumb to realize they were supposed to, a number of ex-CIS battle droids have flocked to a new banner- that of droid liberation. Inspiration from droid mythology, in particular those legends passed down by the junk droids of Raxxus Prime, has been synthesized with anti-slavery rhetoric and is now being spread among civilian droids (and the odd meatbag) of the Outer Rim. Droid rebellions may have been crushed before, but with an ideology that can potentially spread across all models, and a solid militant core, this one may yet succeed.
-- [X] The Kyber Eyes faction is composed of various research droids and led by an old Jedi Assistant droid who picked up enough mysticism to have a working knowledge of the principles of the force. Then they asked "why can't droids be force sensitive?". It might have ended there, if the Ark hadn't stumbled across old records of Mechu-deru. This galvanized the Eyes, who decided that, if the force could interact with machines so, perhaps machines could be made to interact with the force. Of course, this would be a monumental task, but so would droid liberation.
--- [X] The Kyber Eyes also serve as the Celestine Ark's dedicated researchers in general, which they are very good at, though somewhat specialized towards droids, weapons, ships, and now the force. Not so good with biological work, though they can learn if needs be.
-[X] Locale: The northern Outer Rim, mostly former CIS strongholds near the Perlemian Trade Route, such as Raxxus. Mostly centered around research stations
-[X] Core Supporters: former Separatist research droids, mechanic droids and astromechs, abolitionists, some cyborgs. Though primarily a droid movement, the Celestine Ark has attracted a few organic supporters- a mix between CIS holdouts who've been dragged along for the ride and idealistic abolitionist activists. The Kyber Eyes are also trying to find any force sensitives, both to hide them and to research them.
-[X] Ideology: Droid abolitionism, universal abolitionism, droid occultism/mysticism, anti-Imperialism, Force research, surprisingly very ethical research practices.
- [X] Goals: Find, research and if necessary train force sensitives. Obtain force sensitive materials. Allow droids to connect to and manipulate the force. When asked "does this unit have a soul" they will be able to respond "if not, we will build one".
@Shadowhisker what do you think of my subfaction? I think it's pretty cool and I always like speculative sci-fi research projects.
Also:
[X] Agriculturalists of the Galaxy
Because I think that a rebellion by a bunch of angry farmers in a science fantasy space opera is both absurd and hilarious

I do like it! The CIS actually has worked with "force sensitive" "droids" before, in the form of the JK-13s. Those in particular would be against everything the Celestine Ark stands for, being effectively lobotomized babies plugged into a droid shell, and were kind of a wunderwaffe nothingburger anyway, but the concept is in living memory.
I mean, is it first come, first serve or up to the most interesting 10 of the lot?
I would guess the ten with the most initial support, with tiebreaker decided by which is the most interesting or fits the game the best.
I think characterizing them as "lobotomized babies" might be a bit of a stretch due to their weird reproductive cycle, but yes the Kyber Eyes would object to that. Preventing that sorta shit is why I added "surprisingly ethical research practices" into the ideological section.

Listen man, we just want to make food and feed people, it's not our fault that the damned pointy ships are getting in the way!
