Faction

In Sundered Galaxy, a faction consists of several nations, organizations, or allegiances that work together as one entity. In the beginning, when these allegiances join into a faction, they adhere to all faction laws and regulations. Local government officials would become the eyes and ears of the faction, and report any concerns or findings to the faction government. As the years progressed, factions would begin to create local governments in new areas as a sense of tradition, but these governments were nothing more than glorified puppet states.

History
The first factions occurred shortly following the end of The Great War. As the world took a sigh a relief, it was still sharply divided. Nations started binding together, creating the United Commonwealth and the Global Alliance. These initial foundations were primarily focused on scientific and military sharing, but would change over the course of the years.

As space continued to be explored, and the world grew smaller through Light Bridges, controlling the people became easier, and both factions seized more and more power from the nations that once forged them.
