Galactic Factions

“Galactic Factions” is a series where The Obsidian Odor showcases one faction from his homemade game, "Star by Star." Star by Star is a tabletop game where players assume command of an interstellar faction and compete to conquer or liberate a sector of space. An episode of Galactic Factions has four parts. Part One is general facts about the faction. Part Two is the Fleet Counters. Each is a 1” hexagon and illustrates a starship or fighter squadron, faction icon and fleet multiple. Multiples indicate the number of fleets present and come in 1s, 3s, 5s & 7s. Part Three is the Faction Card. Cards reveal the faction’s Political Alignment and Special Abilities. Political Alignments allow for Diplomacy checks. Players check their faction's alignment vs a Star System’s alignment on their Faction Card to find the minimum result needed to succeed. Next, players roll the Diplomacy Die (d10). If the result is equal to or higher, Diplomacy succeeds. Part Four shows the current “Sweet 16,” the top 16 factions in-game. Factions earn points after each match. Losing factions earn 0.1 pts per territory at end of game. Winning factions earn 1 pt. This show appears on a bi-weelky rotation. Please let us know if there’s any faction you’d love for us to incorporate. https://rumble.com/playlists/ApNSecBdd38 Music By: The Star Wars Errant https://rumble.com/user/TheStarWarsErrant Connect with us on X: https://x.com/ObsidianOdor
