So an alliance (the SSA) was fractured after a war and many factions arose, there was a group called the UGC to help all the new factions + the severely weakened SSA communicate etc. Now a few years later the SSA is trying to re-absorb the factions that split off from it after the war but a few of them banded together to resist? and now we play a group of mercenaries caught between the war right? 

^ Would actually make a cool NRP where everyone takes one of the factions that split off :P
