They have a long-range cultural weapon to make up for some of this disadvantage. Unlike the other factions they do not have access to a second frigate and lack military super weapons. The Advent focus on culture and have some of the slowest build times. ItвЂ™s good to know what strengths and weaknesses they have in common. Other Faction DifferencesДЄlthough there are six factions the Loyalist and Rebels of each faction still have the same basic weaknesses and strengths as their parent empires. The damage output of their capital ships tails off a little bit when compared to the other two factions, but their highly effective phase missiles more than compensates for this disparity. They are the cheapest to construct when it comes to credits, and metal and crystal costs and are cheaper than the Advent but more expensive than the TEC. Vasari Capital ships fare a little better in the cost and ship supply categories. Their damage output is significant though, only being outclassed by the Advent Loyalists. This means youвЂ™ll have less of them than other faction with comparable ships.

Vasari frigates have very tough hulls and armor but are the most expensive of the three factions to construct in credits, metal, and crystal, plus their frigates use the most supply points of any faction. Vasari ship weaponry consists of Pulse Beams, Phase Missiles, and Wave Cannons. Some fleets emphasize quantity over quality, while others emphasize a strong offensive capability at the expense of defensive capabilities. Fleet DifferencesДЇleets are naturally the core of your empireвЂ™s survival, without them you would be quickly overrun by your enemies. They have mobile starbases that can move between gravity wells, making their starbases unique. Vasari rebels gain bonuses depending on how many friendlies are in their gravity wells.They can continue the game without a capital planet, the only faction capable of doing so. Vasari Loyalists can have a strong economy without controlling any planets.They can sign peace treaties with Pirates and neutrals. Their ships are weak in shield and armor strength, but they have lots of firepower. Their starbases possess both great armor and hull strength. They can build two starbases per gravity well. TEC Loyalists are more suited for вЂњturtlingвЂќ and a defensive style of play.They can resurrect their ships and respawn them at their capital world and resurrect enemy ships to help them fight during a battle. Advent Rebels have the power of resurrection.Global Unity ability lets them spread culture without a Temple of Communion.

Advent Loyalists focus on mind control and culture.

This makes a total of six major factions in Rebellion unless you include the Pirates, but they arenвЂ™t a playable faction. SINs of a Solar Empire originally started with three different factions that eventually, as the game progressed, split into two different sub-factions each, Loyalists and Rebels.
