@ Ryan: +1,000,000 for the Stripes quote.
+1 to aligning with a sub-faction, and I would hope this could be addressed in detail in the soon(TM) faction redux. There needs to be one distinct advantage offered by each sub-faction for aligned members, and several disadvantages thru exclusions from rival factions, etc. Specializing in RPG's always limits more than it gives, hopefully making the specialization more meaningful.
On a semi-tangent, I've always thought Aeolus should have a few stations across Serco space, and Tunguska should have a few in Itani (the mining is just too good up in blue-land!), and relating that to this thread, perhaps aligning with these subfactions would require maintaining faction with their respective host nation. Of course it is just as interesting to give KOS characters a foothold in those nations as TPG and Orion currently do in UIT space, but perhaps the warring nations would not tolerate such "aiding and abetting".

+ a lot to this thread
I don't mind any change as long as we can join other factions!! PLEASE IMPLEMENT THIS DEVS!

I'm a brand new player, still in my 8 hour trial, but after reading the back story I instantly did a search to see if the Order of Akan had an ingame presence. It seems not, but being able to join sub-factions would seriously add to the RP element and just be generally awesome.
sizeak,
By the way it's interesting idea to make subfactions for Itani and Serco Nations

Considering the back-story, I doubt the Itani nation would allow the Order of Akan to operate a sovereign station within their borders.
for me, instead of Serco/Itani sub-factions, some UIT/Gray factions could simply have stations inside nation territory, mutually exclusive, of course.
Serco: Aeolus, Tunguska
Itani: Ineubis, Orion
For those "foreigner" stations inside nation space, should apply both standings, nation/facion. I.e., to dock in an Aeolus station inside Serco Territory one must be at least dislike with both Serco and Aeolus... But KoS should only apply to hosting nation, i.e., on same scenario, only Serco KoS remain KoS for station's guards, while Aeolus KoS with good Serco standing should be dealt as "hated" only.
