New factions are always fun and exciting, at first. and then you figure out that no one knows you as you've got no direct connection to any existing NPC factions and stuff gets difficult from there. Honestly the NPC factions need more loving. You see plenty of freelancers out there

if you want to play a mercenary band faction I'd go with the bounty hunter guild as a base. Just play it as if your part of the guild itself but a separate unit doing other stuff instead of just bounties like escorting or other sorts of missions for money etc. You've got a base history to work on and build your RP and story line from.

Alternatively Interspace commerce is also an option if you want to go more into the lawfull security type of business. Its a trade faction but so you can do escorting of other traders and would fit in with the RP as they "insure and finance projects".

easy to find out just look at the ID on newark station in manhattan or any other Interspace base
