And looking at you, Sith Empire, failure =\= losing an influence cloud to war.
Yeah, if you're going to have a criminal-focused faction, even if IC it's decentralized it still needs one core thing that unites them together other than "lol crime." Something that lends itself to why this collection of assassins, pirates, mercenaries, and thieves would work together to secure this space, or band together in this battle or that battle.I think a large part of what makes a criminal faction fail is that most of the characters are so different they don’t end up writing together. It’s easy to write a speeder gang or a Hutt cartel but once you do a catch all for crime it’s more difficult. But if you narrow it too much you lose a lot of interest.
Another issue is that the criminals need to get recognized for their crimes. We need wanted posters and databases of crimes so that the galaxy can start to see them as a threat. If everybody just ignores them and the crime happens amongst npcs it gets boring.

I think there's plenty of stories to be had with a faction built kind of like the Zann Consortium, Shadow Collective, or Hutt Cartels.
If someone manages a working Hutt Cartel, I'll lend whatever non-Admin skills I have to help you.
Hutts are like, my 3rd favorite species.
Well, I’ll toss my hat in the ring.
The Exchange was a faction that I had started up with the help of Sly Chance to become a new criminal faction.
My original idea behind it was “A Major Faction made up of Minor Factions.” So you would have the classic ones like the Pyke Syndicate, Black Sun, Crimson Dawn, the Hutts, and then a couple new Chaos ones.
I never truly put the time and effort to get the ball rolling on it, but I always imagined that it could be a really cool crime faction. And now that people are wanting a big criminal/underworld group, I’ll probably start putting some threads together to see if y’all want to get the ball rolling on this.
Could be really fun.
One Sith. First Order. Dominion. Grayson Imperium was fun while it lasted. The Republic too.
I don't think I've ever heard of them.Bluehawks

They're an old style faction, you've probably never heard of them.
