Factions are more or less Guilds of SWCombine. They are collections of players that have gathered together under a mutual idea, agreement, or simply to make money. Not anyone can make a Faction, though anyone could lead one. The following should help you better understand Factions, what they are, what they can do and other related topics.

Factions are more than Guilds

Guilds are often an association of character or players. But Factions are more powerful in SWCombine than Guilds in most other games. They have advanced features to administrate their members and their assets. They can own things and allow their members to use them. Factions can even own other Factions. Factions can take on the role that companies, societies or even governments have in real life.

Making a Faction

Therefor making a faction is a lot more complicated than in many other games. A series of requirements need to be met before being able to create one. These are listed below:

  • Capital - how much depends on which faction you are trying to make. Cheapest faction requires 30,000,000 credits in asset value.
  • Start up Credits - this is either 15,000,000 credits for an Information faction, or 25,000,000 credits for any other faction
  • 7x7 facility - faction creation will convert a 7x7 facility owned by you into the faction HQ
  • Website - all factions require an off-site website that details various aspects of their faction
  • Art - several banners and logos are required to identify your faction

Some requirements are different for different types of Factions.

Faction types

There are various types of factions. Examples of faction types would be government, mining or security. Not all game features are equally available to all types of factions, so that factions of different types will have to cooperate. For example a govrenment will not be able to build ships for their navy without the help of a ship production type faction.

A full list of different faction types is available in the rules section: http://www.swcombine.com/rules/?Faction_Creation
