Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion - Minor Factions DLC
Description
Please note: Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion - Minor Factions is part of Sins of a Solar Empire® - Ultimate Edition
With the conflict between the TEC, Advent, and Vasari creating rifts within each civilization, the galaxy has become less stable than ever. With resources dwindling and time running out, every advantage must be exploited….
For the first time ever, add a whole new dimension of strategy with Minor Factions. Compete against your enemies to exert control over upstart forces that have emerged outside the boundaries of the great powers. Crush them if you desire, but it might be wiser to let your diplomatic envoys persuade them to join your cause - their unique capabilities may prove to be the difference between victory and defeat.
Features:
- “Minor Factions” Gameplay Option - Enable the spawning of minor factions! Each game will place a number of minor factions onto the map to expand your strategic and tactical options.
- 15 new minor factions - Send envoys to persuade minor factions to join your empire and cultivate their unique abilities and advantages. Minor Factions include:
- Nilari Cultists: These fanatical Advent cultists command waves of suicidal martyrs, sacrifice their people for devastating effects, and indoctrinate nearby populations to accelerate their cause. Be careful, though - with the end being near, they don't always discriminate between friend and foe, and it won’t matter whether you’ve won them to your side or not!
- Viturak Transport Cabal: Vasari technology is notoriously difficult to get ahold of. Contact the Cabal to gain access to black market Vasari travel tech, including phase engine improvements and the ability to execute covert raids. If they let you into the back room, you may even find yourself with a stolen Antorak Marauder that you could pair with their local phase stabilizer...
- Grost Scrappers Union: Credits don’t discriminate, and neither does this faction! These underground human entrepreneurs accept payment from anyone. If you need an armor retrofit, a quick field repair, a great deal on resources, or even a place to convert those obsolete frigates into profitable scrap - these are your guys!
- 12 additional minor factions: Each faction provides abilities and advantages unique to their theme and role, including mercenaries, xenophobes, pacifists, used ship dealers, demolition experts, resource miners, resistance fighters, arms dealers and more!
- Nilari Cultists: These fanatical Advent cultists command waves of suicidal martyrs, sacrifice their people for devastating effects, and indoctrinate nearby populations to accelerate their cause. Be careful, though - with the end being near, they don't always discriminate between friend and foe, and it won’t matter whether you’ve won them to your side or not!

It's about time!
This DLC always felt like a must for the game. It adds a considerable amount of the depth to the gameplay in many respects. Struggling to defend or attack a planet? Call in reinforcements from a close-by minor faction. Need to expand early game in one direction but don't want to leave your other flank open. Look for a minor faction on a choke point and claim it for a free ready-made defensive position that the minor faction will actively defend allowing you to focus your efforts elsewhere. Plus, every minor faction is different with different abilities. Some offer options for defensive bonuses. Some offer options for offensive bonuses. Some offer options for support bonuses. All of this amounts to a relatively small DLC that surprisingly adds a lot to the gameplay in a fun and meaningful way. On top of that, if you get into the modding scene for SinsRebellion, some mods, like Star Trek Armada 3, have found ways to put the Minor Factions DLC to incredible use with some of the most unique and fun mechanics including buying unique ships that can't be acquired any other way. So even if you don't care much for Minor Factions for vanilla sins, it's worth it to get it for the mods at the very least. In my opinion, all of the DLC that was released for Rebellion over the years were good to great. But Minor Factions was the best and had one of the biggest impacts on the gameplay and it was a real shame that it took this long for it to finally release on GOG and created a very real divide within the very active Sins community for many years. Please Ironclad, with Sins2 on the horizon, please commit to a stance of content parity going forward. Whether we play on GOG, Epic or Steam in the future, we all should be able to enjoy the same "full" experience, regardless of platform. I am massively appreciative that this DLC finally released on GOG, but it took way too long for that to finally happen. And yes, I absolutely will buy Sins 2 when it releases on GOG.
