Section 7: Alliances

[She Who Watches]

FACTIONS

Factions are one of the systems on Summit that require cooperation between multiple players. The EDF, The Planet Trade Organization, The Saiyan Army, and more are what we consider Factions here on Summit: a group of individuals for a common goal, cooperating to achieve said goal.

FACTION OVERVIEW

Click the spoilers below to answer frequently asked questions.

SPOILER: Click to show

WHAT IS A FACTION?

Factions are powerful, planet spanning, organizations whose interests have designs on, or at least repercussions for, the galaxy at large.

They could be an army hell bent on conquering the universe. A consortium of merchants aiming to establish a galaxy wide fair trade agreement. A crime family. The list goes on.

SPOILER: Click to show

WHAT ARE THE POINT OF FACTIONS? AM I MISSING OUT IF I DON'T JOIN ONE?

Factions are here to simulate and facilitate a galaxy of conflict for those players who wish to see the universe in that light. Your character is not negatively effected, mechanically speaking, for ignoring their existence. As we can not control player interactions, being attacked by another player for being in / not in a faction may happen.

SPOILER: Click to show

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF JOINING A FACTION?

Factions grant the user access to any faction bonuses that faction possesses. This includes, but is not limited to:

Their faction trait: An additional in battle or out of battle effect all members of that faction get.

Their faction item: A semi unique item only available to be purchased by members of that faction. This does not prevent the item being stolen later, so be careful with it

Their territory bonuses: As a faction gains territory, planets under their control become easier to travel to, and their faction trait begins to work on other worlds they control. Additionally, it becomes possible to order items from a faction controlled world and have it shipped to your character.

Minor factions modify or replace your major faction trait with something befitting them. They otherwise benefit from the same benefits as the major faction they're under.

SPOILER: Click to show

HOW MANY FACTIONS CAN I JOIN? IS THERE A LIMIT?

While there are no limits on the number of facrions a player may join, there are a few limitations.

You may not join factions with completely opposed goals. This means, for example, that you can not be both a member of the Planet Trade Organization and the Galactic Patrol at the same time.

You can only use the benefits of one major faction at a time. Switched once per week on your update.

You may only join one minor faction per major faction. This means you can not be a member of the Frieza Force and a member of the Cooler Corps. You must choose.

[PTab=Planetary Takeover]

Protecting/Destroying Planets

[PTabbedContent]

[PTab=Rules]

Destroying Planets

Conquer/Protect Planets

To destroy a planet, you must have a base PL of 100,000 and must use a Tier 4 technique that takes three days in real time to charge. Your post to destroy the planet must be in the form of a 3,000 WC minimum post in the appropriate planet's Subforum. Anyone who wants to defend the planet must initiate a Death Battle with the destroyer before the three-day charging period is finished.  If a planet is destroyed, it will return of its own accord after three months

To conqueror or protect a planet you must have a base PL of 100,000 and an alliance base purchased on said planet. You have to complete a series of five (5) Missions (across your alliance) to work toward this goal In Character. At that point people then have a total of 5 days to try and stop your attempt and protect the planet before you successfully conquer the planet!  If a planet is taken over you must complete the process to take it from the owner, who can attack you to try to stop you.

Each time you attempt to take over/destroy a planet the total WC required in the final thread goes up by 1,000 WC.   Also, the number of planets you can take over is limited by the number of separate alliance members you have; for every one (1) member you can take over one (1) planet.  Whether you Conquer or Protect a planet, for the duration of you ruling it 3,000z will be gifted straight to your Alliance bank per week.
