Official Factions

[Zelot]

One thing official factions CAN do: Make laws and enforce them. Liberty's embargo against Rhineland, Bretonian's laws against trading with Kusari. Declaring things contraband, requiring merc registration, etc. The player factions can't force indies of their NPC faction to enforce these laws, nor can they force indies to honor ceasefire agreements and such things (like when the BAF and Mollys were 'friendly', or BAF with Outcasts, or Bs| with the LN), but they CAN force other people to follow their rules. Unofficial factions cannot.

Edit:


I know they do, I just say they shouldn't.

Edit again:


It's not public. You can't keep out indies of your own NPC faction when they need to gear up, but that doesn't mean you can't kick them out for loitering. You also have the unique right to KoS anyone who isn't part of your NPC faction if they enter your Guard system.

All really good points
