I can't say that I particularly sympathize with any sort of faction, except FEC, which I might switch to. Dead orbit has an interest in leaving this solar system, but if we do that, it could be the end of us. Without the last city, there would be nothing in the way of the kings getting the traveler, and with the traveler's gifts, they could hunt us down after centuries of fighting and bad blood, finally having vengeance for all of the eliksni we have slain. FWC does make the most sense: staying and fighting until the darkness is defeated is appealing, but they look to the past and future for answers, instead of thinking about here and now, where the most threats are. New monarchy is violent and fascist: they want an absolute monarch over the city. In fact, if I could, I would either support the iron lords or the reef. A combination of the views and ideas of new monarchy, FWC, and Dead orbit would make for the best faction.
