| Black Sun Faction Type: Criminal Leader: Hal Breden Website: Link Description: Black Sun is the major criminal group in the galaxy today. They have their fingers in every pie in every aspect of illegal activity across hundreds of worlds, fronted by the seemingly legitimate Black Sun Corporation, and dozens of owned subsidiary companies that may or may not be obviously related. Using these companies - which make a tidy profit in their own right - Black Sun is able to cover up massive amounts of income with careful laundering. Anything they can't cover up, they either bribe or kill their way out of. Based in the Russan system, Black Sun supports neither side in the Galactic Civil war, while simultaneously supporting both sides... as long as they can pay. If you have the money, Black Sun has what you're looking for!  |  |

| New Factions Factions desiring to become a part of SWV must first submit their group for review and approval. The following are requirements which need to be met before being considered:
Any unique technologies used by the faction will need to be submitted for review and must conform to the technological level of the SWV sim before being allowed to use them. Items from other sci-fi genres using similar technologies MAY or MAY NOT be considered. Any submissions may be refused because of an excess of a certain type of group, inability to send all required information during the submission process, signs of a possible lack of activity, or for other reasons. Note: The Administrators of SWV make the final decision regarding the leadership or status of factions. No changes are "official" unless they are posted on the SWV News or otherwise announced by an admin or the leader of the CoM.
