Humourists
The jesters of Fenspace, Humourists delight in taking nothing seriously. Some of them are the spiritual descendants of Mel Brooks, Jerry Seinfeld, or David Letterman; others prefer to act with less or more subtlety. Recognizable subgroups include Bozos (Humourists who overdress for the role, including greasepaint), Flashmen (military Humourists), Kobalites (Humourist roleplayers), Lingerie Fighters (Humourist Senshi), and Pythoners (recognizable by their silly walks). They're organized about as loosely as the Dandelions are. Humourists are usually members of other factions, if only to get material for new jokes.
Military fen
The type who subscribe to the various Jane's magazines, military fen can tell you the difference between a catapult and a ballista, or whether the uniforms of any given CSA unit were grey or butternut, or just how big a machine gun the Avro Arrow could have been retrofitted to carry. Some of them would love to put their knowledge into practice; others know too well what the phrase "the horrors of war" really means. Good military otaku understand tactics and logistics - these military fen can be found throughout Fenspace (on both sides) during Operation GREAT JUSTICE. They're more a social circle than a true faction.

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
