Factions
In Alpha Centauri you and all players play one of up to seven factions vying for survival and dominance of Planet. The factions that exist for a particular game are set at the game start as well as what faction you choose to play. These will not change during the course of the game. It is possible to play with fewer then seven factions and even to play with one faction. If you play with one faction, diplomacy will not be available and you won't have the benefit and deterrents of opposing or allied factions and the enjoyment that comes with it but you will still have to fight Planet and could be used to try and speed to transcendence.
Factions control several basses and units which are connected together in a common goal as directed by the player playing the faction. Factions engage in social engineering and diplomacy as well as manage an economy and military
