Basically the idea brainstormed up in a nut shell last night. At TGC since I have gone rogue, I created a thing called the Affinity. The idea was basically taking that ground work and building from it.

We would be a group of Sith focused on creating Order in the galaxy. We use the darkside as a tool because it will give us the power to unify the galaxy, and not murder and maim. "Darkside for the Greater Good" kind of slogan. Albeit the greater good is our idea of it, and it benefits us. The Sith themselves are kind of fallowing the philosophy of the Rule of One. Everything is for the Order and the vision of the Order. The guy in charge is not in charge because he is the strongest but because he has the vision and the know how to make that vision happen. We would be order, where TSC would be chaos. As we, the think tank, view it at least.

We would be deep in an alliance with the Empire. The brain trust decided that really we want to appeal to the general idea that the Force Factions should not have fleets. We would rely on the Empire for ships and highly trained armies, and in exchange we would supply them with highly trained force users. Also, one of the reasons that Ceel didn't like multiple sith factions was because of the constant sith vs. sith fighting. The Affinity, as we decided, would not want to engage in a war with TSC. We view them as kind of wack in the head. They are not even worth out time addressing in our minds. Trust me, don't get me wrong. Cause you're probably thinking, "isn't that the kind of thing the snobbish Sith that sat around being all decadent did," and yes that was their mentallity. But! We are focusing fighting the Jedi and the Rebels because they are a direct threat. The Jedi, while respectable, do not have the backbone to do what we desire to do, and as such since they fight against us where ever they can they are an enemy. The Rebellion is a group of dissidents and terrorists who also directly oppose our cause. So, the Affinity would never engage TSC as a faction, while they might engage us (cause I know who is in charge over there and I know how they work) but it won't happen visa versa.

IC leadership is a triumvirate. You have myself, an Imperial Knight (our force liasons to the Empire), and some other person. It will hopefully be fluid. I never liked factions that were all about the leaders. I thought that RIP's focus on the horsemen was not a good thing, so the Triumvirate will simply be there for leadership. Kind of like how TGE has Disra, Cornelo and Dorlas representing different sections of their group, but by no means are they the focus of the faction. If a member starts to lag off then we shall replace them, not democratically though cause that's popularity and popularity is a failure. Hm... the full name is the Affinity of Independent Systems, don't let the name fool you. It is kind of like the People's Republic of China. The independent systems... are not independent. It is a tyrannical state, ruled by the Sith.

Just note. This idea is just an idea. It is one that a lot of proponents for a new faction are in favor of. It gives us a clear and defined role, and one that would oppose the general view of TSC. It will also appeal to the desires that nuetrals want from a sith faction, and it addresses one of Ceel's problems from days long gone. And it just has a general good feel to it. Different enough from the current way things are to draw in some members, and give us a distinct role instead of an ambiguous one like things used to be.



Fellow brain trusters, if there is anything I missed, fill in.

Nah, seriously. Sub-groups don't work. Yes, they were done for awhile at TGU but even then they were only really half-good. For the sith it doesn't work, plus you've got the whole staff problem. Trust me, that's not the best way to handle it at all. It is better to just make a new faction. Give it its own identity, and let it sink or swim. I truly believe it will succeed.
