Lygian Family
The Old Guard
The Old Guard is the oldest and largest faction in the Lygian Family, having the most retainers, assets, and ownership of Regalis Engineering. Although weaker than the Iron Guard in terms of military strength, it makes up for its significantly greater economic, industrial and political power as well as its larger number of human resources. Due to these factors, the Old Guard has the strongest possibility of taking control of Regalis Engineering and the Lygian Family. It is jointly led by Kaylynn's uncle, Klaus Lygian, and her aunt, Geneve Lygian.
The Iron Guard
The Iron Guard is the second largest faction in the Lygian Family but rivals the Old Guard in terms of strength due to its powerful military force. Despite the Old Guard being able to command a much larger force due to Tribal Levies, the Iron Guard stands on equal footing due to its highly trained and experienced army of Men-At-Arms, Knights and Huscarls, the largest of its kind. Combined, the Old Guard's and Imperial Guard's army is far inferior to the army of the Iron Guard. Due to the interests of the Lygian Family lying solely Regalis Engineering, many military personnel have been disgruntled with the lack of action and their diminishing power within the Lygian Family. Comprised mostly of retired military officers commanding the faction, they seek to refocus efforts of the Lygian Family towards expanding their spheres of influence with military force and increase the priority of security and defense. They also wish to abandon the pacifist nature of the Lygian Family and enter the Galactic Civil War, in hopes of gaining more recognition and political power in the galaxy. It is currently led by Jarvis Lygian.
The Imperial Guard
The Imperial Guard is the smallest and weakest faction in the Lygian Family. However, they have the only legitimate claim to the inheritance of the Lygian Family as well as control of Regalis Engineering. The faction itself is comprised of family members loyal to the current Heiress Apparent Kaylynn Lygian as well as the Imperial Lygian Bodyguard, the most skilled military force within the Lygian Family. However, the Imperial Lygian Bodyguard is only a fraction of the entire military forces of the Lygian Family, and despite their great individual strength, in terms of general military power, they are extremely lacking. Despite Kaylynn Lygian owning the most stocks of Regalis Engineering individually, the Old Guard's collective ownership of Regalis Engineering is close enough to her's that the difference in control is negligible. It is led by Kaylynn Lygian.
The Shadow Guard
Although this faction has no official name or symbol, the Shadow Guard has the least influence by far within the Lygian Family. However, it makes up for the large amount of financial resources that it brings from a pool of foreign investors interested in taking over Regalis Engineering and removing the Lygian Family from absolute control. Most members of this faction are unknown, however, it is made up largely of resentful exiles and bastards of the Lygian Family, seeking to gain status equal to their skills and contributions. Although a very few number of the Men-At-Arms, it makes up militarily with numerous agreements with private military contractors and mercenaries. To the rest of the factions, the Shadow Guard is the unseen enemy lurking from the shadows; although its existence is rumored, paranoia and fear have been edging on the minds of most in the Lygian Family. It is currently led by Vandal Archibald in secrecy, under the guise of Visogast.
