Give your one sentence, 10 word or less summary of the factions.
Sith: No defense, all offense, big beat sticks. OR: ??? Separatists: Droids. Republic: Many strategies. Doombot, swap, and Yobuck for massive movement options. Imperial: Black & Blue still works. Viable trooper squads. Rebel: All about the uniques. Hit & Run (Mobile & Evade). New Republic: Similar to Rebels, but bigger beat sticks. Vong: Force immunity. Nom bombs. Mandalorians: Best trooper units, but expensive.
This was prompted by the discussion about the Vset and the fact that I don't even have anything in mind when I think about the Old Republic. What makes them distinct other than the powerful Old Republic Recruit?

Old Republic: Low-point jedi. Hard to kill. Sith: Big beatsticks, high hit points and damage. Republic: Commander heavy, big damage and stats. Separatists: Triple/Twin, +12 attack, +10 damage. General Whorm Loathsom. Rebels: Many options, Melee or Commandos shine. Imperial: Commanders can shoot well. Thrawn rules initiative or jedi. New Republic: Impossible to kill, almost pure melee figs. Fringe: Good Bounty Hunters and filler. Mandalorians: If it moves, shoot it. If it doesn't, shoot it. Yuuzhan Vong: Force Immunity, Thud Bug, Melee Attack, not much playtime.

OR: Cheap Jedi, psuedo counter faction Sith: The beatstick faction, activation control ;) Rep: Strong mix of Melee/Shooters, CE reliant Seps: Droids or Fringe heavy Uniques. Rebels: Toolbox, have answers to almost anything Imps: Very CE heavy, tends to be a Vader and support NR: A mix of the beatsticks with the toolbox Vong: Nom or stacking bonuses on midrange beats Mandos: CE's to boost many midrange threats

*Wonders about the use of lead paint on plastic miniatures.*
I knew there had to be some reason why I like the Vong so much...I <3 grape.
Why are Mandos shark flavored?
Anywho, lemme see:
OR: Needs better commander effects and some more effective pieces. Sith: Needs ranged support and cheaper beats Rep: Go away Sep:Needs an effective way to combine the living and droid parts of its faction into one solid faction. (Dont say Whorm does that, cause even now that hes out, you dont see *good* squads fielding Dooku/ Asajj/ Durge alongside droids. Rebels: Go away Imperials: Go away NR: Go away Vong: Needs ranged support and beats that stay alive longer or can do more damage quickly. Mando: Needs melee support and cheaper pieces overall Fringe: Not a faction

Vong: Bloodthirsty crusaders purging the galaxy of all heretical beings. Fringe: A conglomerate of guns for hire, beasts, and specialists.
