-If the number of active factional players is less than the number of [[:system|star systems]] controlled by that [[:faction|faction]], the [[:faction|faction]] is unable to expand. For example, a [[:faction|faction]] with four active members would only be able to colonize new worlds if they had three or less. This is to prevent small players from having a disproportionate influence on the SARP universe and to keep factions from sending a ship to every [[:planet|planet]] on the [[location:kikyo_sector|map]] at once. +If the number of active factional players is less than the number of [[:system|star systems]] controlled by that [[:faction|faction]], the [[:faction|faction]] is unable to expand.

It should only be invoked in the face of an unjustified factional mass-expansion, particularly one that is not done through [[guide:active_plots|plot]]-based [[guide:roleplaying|roleplaying]].+Note: The above paragraph is a general guideline, and does not need to be tracked or adhered to in an "exact" fashion.
