PoI Faction Diversity - New Hostile Factions

This is an expansion to PoI Faction Diversity, and requires that mod. Where PFD expanded on canonical factions to create more diversity in points of interest, New Hostile Faction invents several new-but-lore-friendly factions, each with its own distinct mechanical identity. These factions can be encountered in randomly generated points of interest just like the Crimson Fleet, Spacers, and so on, and unlike many of the factions in PFD are almost always hostile to the player.

Uninstalling or disabling this mod may break your save. This is an inevitable consequence of adding new NPCs to existing PoIs. Use with caution.

New Factions

[]The Iron Legion is a loose confederation of pirate crews, similar to the Crimson Fleet, but more refined in their choice of plunder. Where ordinary pirates simply take everything that isn't nailed down, the Iron Legion specializes in acquiring rare and advanced technology. They have a fondness for lasers, particle beams, and railguns, and are amost always accompanied in the field by robots.[/]

[]The Blood Devils are a dubiously-legal mercenary group from the United Colonies, consisting of former members of the UC's notorious Red Devils who left the military either out of bitter alienation or the need to escape prosecution for war crimes. They use UC military equipment and in some cases have even been known to use xenoweapons.[/]

[]The Senzoku are an organized crime syndicate who claim to uphold the traditions of Old Earth's yakuza. The Senzoku pride themselves on having a code that sets them above common criminals, and they have a strong distaste for firearms, preferring instead to master swordsmanship and melee combat. Do not underestimate the Senzoku - what they lack in firepower, they make up for in speed and resilience.[/]

[]The Ninety-Nine Movement is a loose collection of left-wing activist groups in the United Colonies, descended from the failed 2299 Miners' Revolt. They draw from disaffected members of the working class unable or unwilling to acquire UC citizenship, and seek to abolish the two-tiered citizenship system altogether. Considered terrorists by most major galactic governments, different groups of Ninety-Niners may be welcoming or hostile to outsiders, but always detest the UC. They are poorly trained and equipped, often making use of mining equipment as improvised weaponry.[/]

[]Lycurgus is an infamous rogue city-state in the wild and untamed space outside the UC and Freestar Collective, built on fascist and reactionary ideals. Regarded by the galaxy at large as little more than well-dressed pirates, the Lycurgans prey on the weak and defenseless, but take care to stay clear of major interstellar powers. They favor flashy, high-tech weaponry.[/]
