FACTIONS
CREATING A FACTION
Star Wars RP: Chaos operates with an "Open Faction Creation System", meaning that any character may create a Faction whenever you want. You do not need permission to do so! For more information on our available Factions, please see the Faction Directory.

2. Minor Faction Owners/Admins are responsible for alerting SWRP Administrators of SWRP Rule Violations within their Factions.
3. Minor Factions who meets the minimum requirements to become a Major Faction may post a request in the Factions forum to be declared a Major Faction. If a Minor Faction is declared the victor of a Rebellion, then that Minor Faction is given the choice of being promoted to Major (and gaining the hex) or remaining minor (reverting the hex to neutral.)
SUBFACTIONS
1. If a Minor Faction holds allegiance to, operates under the authority of, or in any way belongs to a Major Faction they are considered a Subfaction and not a Minor Faction.
2. A Subfaction may use the resources of its Major Faction, but may not initiate Rebellions.

If both tails, another Major Faction in the Junction will receive an extra hex at the Administrator's discretion. If mismatched, no extra hexes are rewarded.
- Weakness: Each time this Major Faction makes a request using the Wild Magic mandate, this Major Faction may lose any number of hexes as determined randomly by the coin flip of an SWRP Staff Administrator. This may only happen a maximum of once per month.

- Strength: There is no limit on how many Invasions this Major Faction may simultaneously initiate.

- Weakness: The artifact can only be used while this Mandate is active.
24. Wrath Of God
"Damnation does not slumber." -Jonathan Edwards
