+===== Factions =====
+There are many faction in and around the city.  When choosing your crew you also collectively choose which factions you have interactions with.  The majority of factions will be unlikely to appear in a campaign unless you undertake specific plot actions to interact with them.  **Deep Cuts** adds more factions including many relevant to the additional ongoing plot.  Some faction descriptions include spoilers and should be avoided.  Every faction has a tier from 0 to VI.  Tiers are similar to levels and cover a faction's scale and quality (e.g. Tier V often has 80 members, but I has 3-6).  Fighting higher Tiers gives you limited effect and lower Tiers gives you great effect.  Effects are based on the type of action you are doing.
+Your Crew is regarded as a Tier 0 faction with a strong hold on your territory (ie not likely to get worse in Tier)
+Factions are grouped by their member types
+  * Underworld (17) from Tier I to IV
+  * Institutions (18) from Tier I to VI
+  * Labour and Trade (12) from Tier II to IV
+  * The Fringe (12) from Tier 0 to IV
+  * Citizenry (6) from Tier II to V
