Quick notes
- Choose both race and allegiance. Rebellion divides TEC, Advent and Vasari into Loyalist and Rebel factions.
- Match the strategy to faction tools. Defensive TEC Loyalists and mobile Vasari Loyalists do not solve the same map in the same way.
- Expect shared foundations. Every faction still needs scouting, development, income and a supported fleet.
- Keep later versions distinct. Sins II changes many systems and should not be used as a direct Rebellion reference.
