'civilian' factions
The Fourth District Saints
These Synths started up a gang a few years after the Synths began interacting with other species which introduced them to the concept of crime. These Synths have since organized and formed a gang that has essentially taken over Fourth District, one of the more prominent cities on Jorgen. They have developed the Synth equivalent of drugs and started dealing it in the Fourth District and soon grew large enough to control the city. The central government of the Synths made an agreement with the gang and there is an unsteady truce between them.
The Desert Riders
These Synths are the largest(and only intergalactic) motorcycle gang of Synths on the planet. Often having disagreements with law enforcement wherever they go but they also are bound by a code of honor. They often are seen protecting individuals who were being harrassed or treated roughly, not really expecting any compensation for the protection. They also protect their own, and the gang nearly burned down an entire town when one of their own was killed by law enforcement. None of them were convicted for the incident as there was no real evidence but everyone knows who did it. They also never rob the poor, and have been seen giving money to the poor on occassion.
