In this RP you could play as one of the three main factions or a unrelated faction. foreign powers are allowed but they can only be on the borders or sending aid to one of the main factions.

Here is a break down of strengths and weaknesses:

Populares:

They control the most planets and people thus they can bring massive armies to battle. But their troops are mainly peasants and militias not a proper army. They really don't have that much of a fleet either but unlike the other factions they can easily replace losses and have access to massive amounts of resources.

Loyalist:

They have the best military. They are the legions and fleets loyal to the emperor. Sadly the worlds they control are far and few between meaning that their forces are spread out and unable to easily meet up.

Optimates:

The wealthiest faction by far. Many of the wealthy senators and admirals joined their ranks. They also have support of the Corporations as well. The bulk of their fighting force is mercenaries and noble knights a good army but cocky and not well lead.
