FACTION SPECIFICS
-All territories must be connected to the capital via adjacent territories or Phase-space Gates for it to receive income.
	-If a territory is not connected to the capital, then no income will be received from that territory, but the maintenance costs will resume.
	-If another faction holds territories between the player's, the player can negotiate a free-passage deal with the other faction. 

-Any territory can be abandoned, but doing so will remove any and all shipyards and other facilities constructed by the player at the territory.

-If a Faction holds more territories than it can maintain, civil disruptions can begin.
	-If a Hero decides to overthrow the government, he can only try at this stage.
	-He must be able to survive an attack at the capital, and also posess the persuasion techniques necessary to rally a force behind him.
	-The capital's defenses will be weaker because of the lack of focus from the civil disruptions.
	-If the Hero successfully captures the capital, He will become the new Faction leader and gain control of all territories that are connected to the capital while the Faction Leader becomes a Hero.
