## Minor Factions

### **Imperial Defectors**

**Who they are:** A surprising gathering of disenfranchised Imperial military officers and government officials rallied behind their hate of the current regime and seeing that only working together could their needs be met rather than forming their own smaller empires.

**Where they are located:** Ansion; Byss; N'Zoth; Scarif; The Csilla Sector

### **Corporate Sector Authority**

**Who they are:** A tyrannical and oppressive corporate government serving at the self-interests of executives and income who after secret backroom meetings have begun a campaign of war and expansion from their sector.

**Where they are located:** Bonadan; The Corporate Sector

### **Separatist Holdouts**

**Who they are:** Various elements of the former Confederacy of Independent Systems who after being given the counter command to the shutdown code by Gizor Delso have united both against the Empire and who they see as traitors who have joined the Rebel Alliance.

**Where they are located:** Hypori; Mustafar; Muunilist

### **Republic Hardliners**

**Who they are:** Fanatics of the old order who refuse to believe that the Republic has ever been lost and that the Empire was merely a hostile takeover of a foreign power after learning the truth of Darth Sidious leading the CIS and being the Supreme Chancellor. These Hardliners are so zealous in their belief that they even see the Alliance to Restore the Republic as the enemy of the True Republic who are merely a faction of the Confederacy seeking to supplant the rightful Republic.

The Protectors have worked tirelessly to protect Mandalore from the Empire in recent years and the companies of Mandal Motors and Mandal Hypernautics have kept the planet a vital partner to the wider galaxy as protection. However some crisis has happened on Mandalore. Fenn Shy'sa dons the title Mand'alor, clans gather ancient and new warships from their hiding spots and a new Crusade has been called.

**Where they are located:** Mandalore; Onderon & Dxun

### **Hapes Consortium**

**Who they are:** The long isolated Hapan have spent decades building a large starfleet under Queen Mother Chume. Most saw it as a result of growing tension in the galaxy since the end of the Stark Hyperspace War, however now Battledragons have begun making raids on outlining systems, destroying Imperial forces moving in the area, and the Queen Mother now rules exclusively from her warship Star Home.

**Where they are located:** Hapes Cluster

### **Hutt Empire**

**Who they are:** When the last Hutt Council was called, all the leaders of the various Cartels came together to decide if they would join the growing criminal alliance that was forming across the galaxy as a result of the various cults and zealous movements making the lives of criminals everywhere a pain. While Jabba was elected by majority of the Clans to lead them and join the new Criminal Underworld, several old Hutts of ancient clans refused to join with their rivals and instead had prepared an attack on the meeting which cost the lives of most of the clan leaders. After the event the remaining old Hutts declared a new Hutt Empire, branded Jabba and his followers as traitors, and have gone to war to reclaim Xim's rightful property. The Galaxy.

**Where they are located:** Atzerri; Circumtore; Nal Hutta & Nar Shadda; Sleheyron; Syvris; Toydaria; Varl

### **Sith Cultists**

**Who they are:** The rising tensions across the galaxy awoke dark energies that could not be contained. Relics left long idle called out for new masters, dark lords rose from their hidden slumber, monuments of empires long forgotten reach for the stars. Sith from an age long before the Rule of Two and with no ties to the Banite Order seek to reclaim lost power and feed on the galaxy at war. The Prophets of the Dark Side forsake Darth Sidious, worshipers of the dark powers and those who have been possessed now flock to the Sith Worlds to serve these returned masters of darkness, ships of a time lost now appear in vast numbers as if built that very day, worlds go cold as all life is devoured in an instant.

**Where they are located:** Dromund Kaas & The Sith System; Korriban
