Prince of Nothing
Discussion on the various factions and their alignments prompted this. I've made this as a way for constructive discourse on the natures of the current major factions.
This is not meant to incite OOC ire, since this is simply a cohesive examination of the IC attitudes and actions of various factions. Facts, if you will. So please, do not discuss OOC actions or writers in this thread as that would very quickly lead toward the opposite of constructive discourse.
Let's keep this a logical, fun, respectful discussion.
Galactic Alliance - Is, as many governments are, a neutral entity. It has been called an imperialist faction. In the sense that it expands, I suppose it is Imperialist. It has done some controversial things, but generally tries to protect sapient rights. For instance, Ugohr Poof killed a group of civilians due to indiscriminate use of force. Ugohr was court martialed and imprisoned. On balance, however, the Alliance is simply another leviathan, meant to impose galactic governance in the place of nature's brutish state. Lawful neutral seems accurate.
First Order - While aliens are welcome, you would be hard pressed to find many here. If repeat use of chemical weapons were not enough to color it "evil," employing the iconic stormtrooper, providing refuge toward mass murderers such as the Zambrano family, and endorsing the dark side cult of Ren all seem to indicate a strong lawful evil vibe.
Outer Rim Coalition - Seems to be one step above anarchy and, in truth, is less about government than freedom. More of a libertarian haven where smugglers gather. Generally, it seems to attract those with a strong sense of sapient rights, but a penchant for disregarding the rules. Loose cannons with a less stringent sense of morality might tend to be a problem, but on balance ORC seems more good than evil. Chaotic good.
Primeval - A group of radical extremists who tramp about in cathedral ships and lay waste to the tenements of peaceful societies. Need more be said? Chaotic evil.
