Know Your Factions, Continued
Minor Factions:
Space Pirates (Leijiites, Buccaneers): Free men of Space, the Pirates hold themselves to the moral code expressed by their symbolic founder, the great Captain Harlock. Known best for protecting the weak in the asteroid belt, flamboyant dress codes and melodramatic speeches.
Village Hidden in Asteroids (Ninjas): Founded by an international coalition of Naruto fans, the Hidden Asteroid is considered the finest martial-arts center in all of Fenspace. Also has the highest concentration of fenkinder anywhere save the Potterite districts. Has an odd friendly rivalry thing going on with the Space Pirates.
Musician's Aid Society (Filkers): A mutual-aid group for Fandom's wandering troubadors.
Heinlein Society (Heinleinians, see subfactions: The formal collection of fans of Golden Age grandmaster Robert Heinlein. While in theory the Society runs the Heinleinian show, the actual situation breaks down into three major subfactions:
Church of All Worlds (Nesters): Fans of "Stranger In A Strange Land" who migrated to Mars in search of Martians.
Howard Foundation (Longs): Fans of Heinlein's "Future History" and "World-As-Myth" novels. The majority are on Luna or scattered through the Belt, but are rumored to be working on constructing an interstellar colony ship.
Space Cadets (Juvies, Sky Farmers): Fans of the Heinlein juveniles. Mostly concentrated in long-term colonization projects in the solar system; Sky Farmers can be found almost anywhere where there's a dome colony in need of agriculture.
Justice League Interplanetary (Supers): Small but media-savvy, the Supers split their time between vigilante work and researching the nature of handwavium biomods. Their ultimate goal is to create actual superheroes. The League is a rare faction in that it also has high-profile members on Earth as well as in Fenspace.
Banzai Institute for Biomedical Research and Strategic Information (Blue Blazers): Disciples of the great pulp hero Buckaroo Banzai, the Blue Blazers exist to help their fellow man. Most of the Institute's work actually takes place on Earth, where they're active in disaster relief and researching the use of handwavium for the betterment of humanity.
Belters (Nivenites, Rockrats): The original prickly asteroid miners. Belters hold a deep suspicion of gravity wells and anybody who lives in one.
Paratheo-Anametamystikhood Of Eris Esoteric (Discordians, Erisians): You're not cleared for this. Fnord.---
