The Mech Touch

Chapter 6959  Minor Factions of the Larkinson Clan

After Ves gained a decent overview of the three major factions and leaders in contention, Ves developed a much better understanding of the political divisions of his clan.

The three leaders and factions each aligned mostly with the members of the main branches, the members of the side branches and the civilians respectively.

Of course, this was an overly simplistic description that stripped all of the nuance and overlap between the different Larkinson groups.

However, it was undeniable that those groups represented the core of the respective factions.

In terms of population, the members of the main branches were at a disadvantage.

The Premier Branch was tiny and the expeditionary fleet had long ceased to grow due to the limited amount of living space available on its starships.

Yet Ves did not think that the Elite Faction was likely to lose in the first political competition of the Larkinson Clan.

Many clansmen still remembered the original reasons why they joined the clan. Many of them were active soldiers or at least supported them. They dreamed of glory, of surpassing their limitations and making history.

The Larkinson Clan gave them all a vehicle for them to realize the ambitions that they could never attain in their old lives.

As soon as they joined the clan, they knew that everything had changed. They were no longer imprisoned by rigid structures and entrenched interest groups. Many of them received plenty of room to grow and develop their potential with the active support of the clan.

The Larkinsons could tolerate anything so long as it resulted in a positive contribution!
