[@NecroKnight] What about beings that once had a body but then transferred their minds into mechanical bodies? I can live with that.

Hybrids are sound cool, just dont make them bulletproof ;D

[@aonly9470] If you are a faction then you would be not locked to a planet. I'd figure you'd be near the capital, where human population is very high. You'd have trader ships, obviously, and a diplomat who probably has good ties with the empire. Your escort would be the EOM military for trades cause you are pretty friendly with them, plus you are human which gives you privilige. So yeah, not really any military to speak of, but you will be me prominent in politics and could possibly fund some other peeps.

Its up to you really, I am just saying that this is what I think. I will tell you if its OP but until then let the ideas coming.
