Creating New Factions

By Peacekeeper_b, in Dust Tactics

Im curious to what other kind of factions could exist in the World of Dust in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Evil superspy agencies like SPECTRE, HYDRA or COBRA?

Secret Societies like The Order of Saint Dumas?

Governemnt Agencies like the CIA, KGB, MI6?

I personally would like to see something like Saint Dumas, a branch of the Church or secret religious cult with some sort of connection/worship/misguided thoughs of/about the vrill.

I made Red Skull and from the movie version the Laser Grenadiers would be perfect for the Hydra soldiers. Spectre and Cobra are post WWII more Cold War. Jame Bond himself faught in WWII he was a Captain before joining Mi6.

CIA wasnt organized until 1947 after WWII. You could do the FBI.

KGB not until 1954

Only one that would work is MI6

I was planning on doing a Ras Al Gul but not the Order of Dumas

Also I was thinking an Assassins Creed like guild but not until they possibly make a game that takes place in WWII

The game is set in 1947. OSS (which became the CIA) was formed earlier. Its an alternate history, so I was referring to agencies similar. ASOCOM doesnt really feel like a secret government spy agency, feels more like, well, Allied Special Operation Command for a war front. And Dust is after the war anyway, its the new UNHistoric coldwar. I can see something like SPECTRE or COBRA existing to take advantage of the alien tech, much like Majestic 12.

What would Dumas have? Avenging Assassin with flamer and sword. Mercenaries with tommy guns. Dwarves.

I think freedom fighters from france as a mercenary force for the allies or the ssu would be great. Maybe a generic mercenary squad would be better then a french force but a mercenary force would add a little variety.

Just being crazy here but what about something similar like: The Esoteric Order Dagon (yeah you read it right, being crazy :P ). A secret fanatical cult that existed centuries past in worship of ancient beings of cosmic horror. Now these horrors cometh to the material world with their vast alien superioity. So fanatical cultist would be the infantry while the xenos themselves would cover the armor division. We can't use Dagon because it's lovecraftian so lets call them something else... like Vrill :P

Being a taaaadddd bit serious. Who's to say that the Vrill were the first one here on earth. And it was said that they were at war with another xenos race. Maybe to deviate from creating new forms hi-tech weaponry (laser, phasers, vortex, gauss etc), they could create more monstrous biological aliens in different forms (think The Mist movie). Weirder War.

Lol why don't we add the stuff from Full Metal Alchemist movie the road to Shambala. Have the state alchemist coming to our world.
