Remaining ideologically "pure" enough to continue to direct or lead your faction while also being able to collaborate with the other PCs could be an interesting challenge.

I imagine that in order to enable that sort of fragmented chaos, one needs to have a somewhat unusual initial situation -- I suspect that the initial voyage was cheap and easy for all these separate groups to hop onto, but thereafter it was impossible, even for those that have powerful allies back on Earth. That sort of thing could be justified with a planetary/interstellar alignment that doesn't happen very often. When the window was open, everyone went. Now that the window is closed, it costs a thousandfold more per kg, and takes ten times longer -- maybe too long even for stasis.

War between secular factions interest me more than the religious ones; a libertarian team of security contractors attempting to assassinate an influential member of a nearby communist enclave, but doing so to frame the communist's envirosocialist militant allies.
Good twist, wish i'd thought of it.
