Yes yes credit to
@TtTOtW for his original Registy but I think it isnt a good inidicator of power differences and political influence each faction has nor concrete definitions. Thats the main reason I created this. This will not list the players in each faction just the faction and its effect on the solar system.
Before we get into the list and how i will determine the rankings and classifications here are some of my definitions for the following:
RANKINGS:
Superpower - A state that has complete control over multiple planetary systems comprising of more than 5 members. Can exert both economical and political influence on other states. (Real world examples: U.S.A. and China)
Major Power - A state that has control of at least 1 planetary system and exerts some political and econmic influence on other states. Usually having 3 or 4 members.(Real world example:Russia(modern))
Minor Power - A state who has control of 1 or 2 planets, moons, or asteriods. Has little influence economically or politically. Usually have 1 or 2 members. (Real world examples: Germany, Japan)
Trade Faction - A faction that opperates within another states sphere of influence. Usually having 1 member can be many more though. (Real world example: Starbucks; U.S. , Samsung; South Korea)
Neutral Power - A state that does not interact with other states politically most of the time. It may only interatact economically. (Real world example: switzerland)
Rebel Faction - A faction whos sole purpose is to remove or take over a exsisting state. (Must be from the original state)
Claims:
1. Must be a state to have a valid claim
2. Claim must not be of a currently owned claim by another state
3. Claims are first come first serve
4. To have a claim official you must have at least a permanent colony of 10 people, transportation to and from that colony, and it must be self sufficient.
Law of Space - jurisdiction over territory ends where the sphere of influence ends anything beyond that must be treated like open seas.
Finally here is my list based on rankings that are fair and as much as I can unbiased(Pirates will not be listed):
1. Solar Empire - Superpower
2. New Universe Order - Major power
3. United Planetary Alliance - Minor Power
4. Kronian League - Minor Power (Neutral Power)
5.PRI - Trade Faction
5.PG - Trade Faction
6. WolfRam Transportation Inc. - Trade Faction
