At least, I think so. I'll lay it out here and let other people discuss.
Yes, there's 14 factions, and yes, they're all in the same game. (Or, at least 7 of them are.)
And I'm open to suggestions on any of the question mark entries as I'm not familiar with those series.

Code: [Select]

Franchise  	Good Guys	Leader                    	Bad Guys  	Leader
Star Wars 	Jedi Knights  	Master Yoda                 	Sith Lords     	Darth Vader
Star Trek  	Federation	Capt. Jean-Luc Picard       	Borg        	Borg Queen
Stargate   	Tau'ri       	Col. Jack O'Neill       	Goa'uld    	Lord Apophis
Dr. Who   	Time Lords	The Doctor              	Daleks      	Davros
Babylon 5 	Babylonians	John Sheridan                	Shadows  	???
Bstar Galactica	Capricans 	Adm. Will Adama              	Cylons      	Number One
Firefly      	Resistance	Capt. 'Mal' Reynolds        	Alliance      	Lawman Dobson

Franchise ..... Firefly
Good Guys ... The Resistance
Leader .......... Capt. Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds
Bad Guys ...... The Alliance
Leader ..........

I'm not even sure they ever named him. The closest I can find is one Lawrence Dobson, a lawman for the Alliance. He's hardly the head, but neither is Mal the head of the Resistance.

Well, for the idea to work decently well, these factions would need to represent isolated/cut off groups or subsets of the larger organization. For example, the "Federation" is represented by Picard, not the President of the Federation; Stargate SG-1 is represented by Colonel Jack O'Neill, not the President of the United States. Etc. So Mal and Dobson work for me. Added.

Battlestar Galactica 1978-1979 (22 episodes): Commander Adama, played by Lorne Greene.
Battlestar Galactica 2004-2009 (73 episodes): Admiral William Adama, played by Edward James Olmos.
Same character in both series, the "new" series being a more successful remake, not a prequel or sequel.

Added! I also changed the Star Wars representatives - otherwise, we would have had both a "Resistance" and a "Rebellion".
I'm surprised that no one else has jumped in on this conversation...I'd actually be willing to make this happen if someone could handle the graphics and quotes (as I'm useless when it comes to that stuff).

How about Blakes7? Just don't ask who the leader is, Blake or Avon. XD At least the bad guys are easy to work out, although the leader's title could vary depending on the season.

RE: Starwars... Isn't The Emperor the head of the Empire?

Well...we do have to limit ourselves to 7 franchises. I tried to pick the 7 most popular spacefaring ones!
