Faction

Factions are collections of individuals and smaller groups that, through their collective effort, work to pursue goals that would be difficult or impossible by themselves. This does not imply that all of those that are members of a faction agree with all of its ideals, those of fellow members, or that even shared objectives have the same priority. Using the metaphor of a modern day corporation, there are those that align closely with the organization due it being their ideal job, as well as some that go along out of need for the paycheck. Some factions are also more tightly knit than others, and may enforce more uniformity in how their members approach the world.

List of Factions and Groups
As mentioned, factions often contain smaller groups that have either joined the greater whole, or were branched off to fulfill some specialized need.
