Phantom Empire Faction Feedback

[Blodo]

Ninja'd me.

Empire name... Possible. Not much to replace it with, and "The Phantoms" as a full name seems.. Weak. the "C'Tan" will likely remain an "Empire" and probably control a planet or solar system a Galaxy over or so. Phantoms... Hm. Good point. Any suggestions? Name just sort has a nice ring to it as is. If you have anything better, I'd be glad to hear it.

Here's an idea: You can basically rename the faction with any alien sounding name you'd like (not a big difference since you don't use faction tags), and the 'Phantom' IFF can be explained by how the inhabitants of Sirius refer to it in simple terms. 'IFF ghosts and phantoms that turn out to actually be real'. Just an RP bone I am throwing out.

That aside, I also have another idea to throw out. While the faction does have potential, I myself personally find a lot of it unharnessed. For example, what is the goal of the Phantoms? To overthrow all house Sirius governments, ok, but how are they going about to accomplishing that? By acts of random killings? It's just missing something. Where is the manipulation? The deceit? Playing one faction against each other, acting like some sort of alien illuminati/subversion taskforce designed to wreak havoc not only amongst units but amongst entire organisations even. We all know how fragile human diplomacy is in many cases. This is what I would like to see more of, Phantoms trying to create as many conflicts between humans themselves, taking to a strategy of undermining their society, knowing that an all out attack alone won't do the job. It would IMO make the faction that much more interesting, with far more RP potential.
