1. I also vote for The Bloody Bastards, or some variant like The Crimson Bastards, etc.
2. I agree that we should get rid of crashing on the planet and get dropped off for the "event".
As you said, it would suck for [member="Kevros Kovani"] to go through all that effort to make the ship just so it could crash. I definitely like the thought of "The Purgatory" making reappearances and becoming a sort of symbol/plot device of the antagonist and such. Us hearing rumored sightings of purgatory could help start new threads/move the story along down the road. Heck we could even have story arcs way down the line where we chase it down and attack it or vice versa.
3. I definitely agree and like the idea of us spending a good portion on the ship and have it be mostly dialog, character development, world building, ect. An idea that I had about this is that while on the ship, the antagonist/crew pairs all the prisoners into groups (we of course all get put in the same one) to compete against the other groups on the planet. The people that are crew/employees/staff would get caught trying to help us for various reasons (sympathizing, stacking odds in our favor, etc.) and that's how they end up with us.
4. I also feel that keeping things simple would be for the best.
5. I'll argue with you anywhere, anytime, anyplace, over anything.
But only when I feel like it...

In case you didn't know, the factory/codex are absolutely not required, except in situations where the potential exists for someone to go 'hey this is suspect i wanna see details.' Obviously the work going into them is awesome and they'll be worth reading and the like when they're done, but if you're waiting for the subs to be complete to start the thread out of concern for the rules or something it's totally not required.
If it's a matter of wanting everyone on the same page or something as far as where we're going and how we're getting there, then disregard. Basically all I'm saying is it's not a rule that you have to have a complete sub to start writing (unless it's an invasion or something).
For name, at a risk of being derivative, what about the 'Gentleman Bastards.' Or something like the 'Bloody Crows of *Planetname* or 'Bloody Crows of Purgatory.'

How about 'Hades legion'?

Related to Hades legion, in other games I actually have clans/factions called Icy Legion, league of fire, Phoenix Fire (Or Fyre, mythical type of fire) and Other related names. If anyone is interested in a legion name just ask me.

My vote goes to Bloody Bastards, only because it reminds me of Inglorious Bastards which is what I imagine our band of people would be like.
No crash, prison ship for dialogue.
Simple is good, it's pretty complex as it is.

I think were all in agreement at this point regarding the Purgatory then?

I was unaware of that, thank you for letting me know! That should save us time - however, if we intend to use the ship extensively later, we should look into getting a tech sub for it; if not now, then later. However, for the planet, perhaps it would still be best to submit it; same page and whatnot, as you said, also the draft is almost finished. Might as hurry up and finish it since it's roughly complete.
[member="Dax Fyre"]
Seems so.
@Everyone
It looks like we're the Bloody Bastards then. As for concerns regarding the name as derivative . . . yeah, definitely a realistic concern; perhaps, overall, we give the faction a general name (e.g. The Resistance, or what have you) or another suggested title; and then we make the Bloody Bastards a subsidiary of which we are all a part of, dedicated to this RP? That way, none of us will worry about our image, but we can still use the name to describe ourselves. Thoughts?
I would like a consensus regarding this.

That'd make sense.
Freedom's Savior for main faction?

I had words but I've been far to open about my opinion on this subject as it is. So I'll just stay quiet for now.

Bloody Bastards is good but point taken. For a more official title I like Freedom's Wings. With a side of America.

I've been looking at faction name generators online, and I think I have some pretty solid choices:
1. The Order of the Legendary Moose
2. Sacred Doomguards
3. Rebels of Purgatory

Make it the Order of the Legendary Therapy Moose and we have a deal.

I like the plan to make the Bloody Bastards more of a select unit of the resistance, now as for the name of it I think the Ghosts of Purgatory sounds good, something such as a spirit. Something without names, only a cause, much like the resistance would be. Revenants? Vengeful spirits of the like. Now for the sake of the RP and not the pride of my character, maybe the Demons of Purgatory, as we are an oppositional force we would be hated, maybe even demonized by the local populace.
