Factions and organisations
This page lists the 21 groups the guide tracks, 21 of which have named members on the roster. Each entry gives a short description, then the characters we place in the group. A character is placed by the faction their profile names, so a unit who changes sides appears under the group they start with. Open a faction for its full page, or a character for their recruitment and support details.
Story detail beyond the opening description stays behind the spoiler gate on each faction page, so this overview is safe to read at any point in a run.
