still the reluctance to share culture hints that the factions have some form of xenophobia and that usually doesn't turn out good when it comes to alliances. regardless, my faction will still be pillaging and plundering planets. hell they don't mind people from other civilizations joining their crews because it means a little more freedom for those poor souls who have to live in those uptight civilizations with their self-righteous morality, my faction believes in taking what you want, when you want.
