I have been rewatching Rebels and I thought it might be cool to have a faction with a similar dynamic: instead of having series of individual characters, I would like each characters within the faction to be part of crews formed by NPCs (like SWTOR). These crews would come together to achieve things they wouldn't be able to on their own. It would give members of the faction a lot more writing opportunities (especially for those interested in character development) and allow for missions to be more varied (I have a lot of ideas quite different from the usual invasion/diplomacy routine). This faction wouldn't be an excuse to bypass the three characters limit as posts would have to be written from the PoV of one character and not the entire crew. In addition, limitations for PvP would still apply (e.i.: NPCs wouldn't be able to assist in combat).

I thought that the faction could be animated by an anti-Force sentiment as there is a severe lack of it this timeline, but that remains to be discussed.

Anyhow, is it something you would be interested in? I know it is not much to go on, but since this faction is very different from what we have been doing on this site, I want to know if other people would be interested before I invest time developing the idea.

My character is anti Force, but just cause she feels they never helped anyone that needed helping.

But she doesn't have a crew, or plan on getting one

Besides that, I am interested

My faction, GALAF, is actually based around Rebels around mid-Season Two, with a growing variety of cells working in conjunction. We're mostly anti-Sith, but we have people like @Kaane 's sweet lizard boi Slars who is completely anti-force. We also have several people who run ships and NPC crews, like @TAC 's character Elizibeth, although I havent put a ton of emphasis on individual crews, as it seems like it might lead to an overall slowdown.

Would definitely be interested in working with you on developing some anti-force stuff on site. My character literally has a holonet show dedicated to demonizing it

If I wasn't full I'd be interested. But seeing as I'm just developing my newest character, I'd be interested in doing that within the context of GALEF. I definitely think I'd be interested in using Elizibeth and her merry crew of pirates to write that kind of story, something pretty unique I don't recall ever seeing on SWRP.
