I thought the same on that. Also it really doesn't even matter if they pick the same faction of the same universe in the same timeline as long as their leaders(on the array) are different, because they are now entirely a different entity in themselves. I assume the point of the 'Universe of Origin' part is more for other people to get a baseline of the content we are making our faction from. Since we are allowed to make are own changes in a fictional universe that harbors a bunch of different fiction universes so it could suit the rp.

That rule is mostly in place so that people can't overcut you and mundane your faction. Like someone applying a group of clones from SW that crashed planetside on a ship, and that being someones faction. It prevents someone from applying a random Jedi Master and just taking over your faction with no real justifiable reason to say "no" IC.
