Anything I can help with?

Not much as it's a matter of putting my own ideas together. The gist is a system, consisting of two primary planets, that are a little more connected than the rest of the empire. One is something of a pleasure capital where lords and people of note would go to as something of a luxury resort. The said planet would also hold games resembling the roman gladiator arena, only in this case everyone's got fancy suits and weapons suited to the time period. The other planet would be a world of industry and production of specialty equipment/agents/random junk useful to a wide variety of people, though it wouldn't be a true industrial center. Said planets would be surrounded by moons, outfitted with defensive equipment and mining facilities, serving both as the industrial core and the defensive mechanisms for both planets.

The faction would hold only two real bastions of power that aren't turrets on moons; elite gladiators from the first mentioned planet in small numbers, and a professional group with a mix of skills, though by far not elite and not quite at the level of hardened veterans of other military forces from other lords. Factional strength would be in the appeal of the services from both worlds, a place where individuals can meet in relative secrecy regardless of factional affiliation.
