Editing Neon Prime lore (section)

== Factions in Fracture ==
A criminal ecosystem as rich and diverse as Fracture is full of organizations that are constantly jockeying for power in the city. Here's a handy guide of some of the more prominent factions that have taken an interest in this year’s election cycle.

=== The 7th Moon ===
The 7th Moon is not just one of the founding families of Fracture; it's the criminal institution with the longest lineage of leadership in the entire city. Driven by history, tradition, and a strict hierarchy - one family has run The 7th Moon for generations, and there is no sign of that stopping anytime soon.

=== The 8th Sun ===
To most people; death is the end. To the leaders of The 7th Moon, it's a promotion. Comprised entirely of the undead elders of The 7th Moon; The 8th Sun once acted as a shadow council that would quietly advise their descendants. However, that all changed during the Hundred Borough war when The 8th Sun revealed themselves to the world. Now an "independent" organization, the elderly undead mostly keep to themselves.

=== The Alliance ===
The Fracture Tourist Bureau would like to remind visiting members of the Intergalactic Alliance that Fracture is a sovereign city planet and that none of your laws, rules, titles, or customs are obligated to be observed. The Bureau would also like to remind Fracture locals that while profiting off of The Alliance is certainly in the spirit of our great city: declaring fealty to The Alliance is not, and may be grounds to lose citizenship. Collaborate with the Alliance against your fellow citizens at your own risk.

=== The Constables ===
The robot peacekeepers that make up The Constables are the closest thing to an unbiased party in Fracture. Acting as a deterrent when inter-borough disputes can't be resolved between themselves, when The Constables show up, most gangs know it's time to back off.

=== The Grey ===
REDACTED BY THE GREY. A REWARD WILL BE OFFERED TO ANYONE WHO TURNS IN OLDER EDITIONS OF THIS PUBLICATION THAT HAD WRITTEN INFORMATION ON THE GREY.

=== The Haunts ===
The Haunts: an organization that specializes in assassinating the supernatural. Unfortunately for The Haunts, science is a thing. As such, almost everyone in the galaxy thinks they're a bunch of zealots who use mumbo jumbo to justify the murder of anyone that gets in their way.

=== The Lost Battalion ===
Members of the Lost Battalion insist that they are veterans of the Delcano Time War. Sadly, there's no record of such a war ever occurring. Whether this is because the whole story is made up, or because time was forever altered, is up for debate. But here's a pro-tip to visitors who have a vested interest in not breathing through a tube: don't tell a member of The Lost Battalion that the time war never happened.

=== The Meakashi ===
As word of the criminal utopia that is Fracture spread throughout the galaxy, criminals from every corner of the cosmos sought to visit, thinking it would be a great place for their murder-vacations. However, the illicit ecosystem in Fracture is a delicate one. Each gang has a role to play and rules to follow, and the city of Fracture has no interest in letting tourists mess that up. That's where the Meakashi come in: a crew of bounty hunters (more like a biker gang) that roam the boroughs, hunting down those off-world criminals that flaunt the rules of Fracture.

=== The Protean Coalition ===
While undoubtedly you've heard about the pleasant small-town vibe of the 48th Borough, tourists are advised to stay away unless specifically granted permission by The Protean Coalition: a collection of were-folk that claim that land as their own.

=== The Tunnel Rats ===
Looking for that special bottle of liquor to celebrate a heist? Or maybe your birthday's coming up and you really want some macarons. In Fracture, you can find anything, but the real question is, "How do I get it?" Between gang wars, cold wars, trade wars, and wars wars, there are dozens of reasons why access to your favorite items made in a specific borough may be inaccessible. And when you run into one of those situations, you're going to need The Tunnel Rats. Specializing in inter-borough trade routes, The Tunnel Rats are experts in moving products from one borough to another. The Wreckage Movement Did you happen to see that burned-out husk of a nightclub in the 819th Borough? That's not the result of domestic terrorism; it's just a new form of street art pioneered by The Wreckage Movement! If you're interested in buying a professional colleague a custom demolition for their place of business, don't hesitate to contact Ballista.

=== Paradox ===
Fracture is full of criminals, but only the best are invited to join Paradox, Fracture's premier thieves guild. Now, it may sound intimidating to visit a borough run by the galaxy's greatest collection of cat burglars, grifters, and second-story men, but don't worry! Led by the enigmatic Chrono, Paradox prides itself on constructing elaborate heists that target the most untouchable of individuals and institutions. So unless you happen to be traveling with a collection of ancient artifacts or are an intergalactic head of state, you have little to fear from Paradox.

=== The Disciples of Creela ===
A relatively new institution in Fracture, The Disciples of Creela are one part assassin cartel, one part religious cult, and one part multi-level marketing company.

=== Smuggler's Local 3150 ===
Are you a smuggler looking for a new ship and need a storage solution for predatory off-world animals? Or perhaps you're exporting recreational munitions and fusion bombs and really don't want to deal with all the hassle non-Fracture governments impose on their citizens? Then you need to contact Smuggler's Local 3150, a union made up of the planet's most skilled craftsfolk.

=== Strike Team Endeavor ===
Once, Strike Team Endeavor was the most decorated black ops group in The Alliance Special Forces. Today, they've been declared anathema and are now seen as enemies of the state in the eyes of The Intergalactic Alliance. Taking refuge in Fracture, Strike Team Endeavor now offers their particular set of skills to the highest bidder.
