Galactic Factions Continuity

Galactic Factions is a continuity based around the Old Republic, specifically around the time of the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO written by SwtorScions.

The main story revolves around the crew of the Vellius as they navigate the ever shifting balance of Factions that vie for power in a Galaxy forever changed by war and conflict.

The main 'factions' viaing for power at the start of the story are:

The Voidhound Cartel:
A powerful crime syndicate run by the kingpin Toleryn Ac'atarr from Port Nowhere. The Cartel has its hands in a variety of illicit dealings, ranging from the relatively benign casinos, to the more distasteful slavery.

Toleryn Ac'atarr: The Voidhound and Underworld King, the Rattataki crime Lord Toleryn rules his criminal empire from Port Nowhere, happy to rule over his kingdom in absolute comfort.

The Vellius Edit
