New Minor Faction: Role

It's hard to choose without knowing about the main faction, but oracles seem the most originals, although the special forces might be cool.

it's Oracles for me, but they better be very vague when predicting things.

I'd vote for oracle

We need something extra special so I think Special Forces could do the job ;)

Voted Oracle mainly because I like it as an idea for minor faction in general. And for rp-ing reasons, it will definitely be fun to get hold of some of them and think about the dilemma it would pose for the new major to fight against me.

oracle is a good choice

One thing: Wardens

Definitely Oracle, but of the other two i wouldn't mind Special Forces

Special forces just look like much more radical remnants. But it sounds cool if they actually have something to do with Remnants as Pulsos is related to Harmony, which gives us more insights about Endless Space and the Dust. Otherwise, I would say Oracle is the best one.

No "Surprise Me!" option? xD

Oracle all the way 

Oracle sounds refreshing

Oracle of course

Oracle. Only

Oracle.  Especially with good diplomatic options to interact with them.

Please for the love of God don't vote SF. I'm hoping for Wardens just because if we absolutely have to have a second minor faction (which is something I hate the game forces you having with most factions anyway) at least let it be something like the Sowers from ES1. It would at least make sense to have a secondary minor faction on your homeworld which is some sort of AI run amok meant to preserve the ecosphere or somesuch. Although I guess Oracle would be second best.

Hoppe this minor faction "oracle ability" will be kind of a joke, like : +4 to moral till science under 500  ^^'

But no science bonus or serious stuff like that !

Ironically this is one of the only times it makes any sense since at least dust is basically just quite literal cloud computing power distributed across nanomachines. But yeah I agree with the sentiment. It's something I hated about the Umbral Choir vote, or anything making the game more like just dumb fantasy stuff instead of scifi. Leave the fantasy for Endless Legend at least. And honestly it really doesn't ultimately matter what the actual bonus is if the fluff remains some sort of dumb mysticism that pretends to handwave it by saying "oh dust magic spells or something lets them scry into the future" Keeping in mind, that this is already quite literally a victory condition by building a bunch of wonders which are just supercomputers said to be able to predict the moves of opponents before they even think to make them (which ironically stipulates a) a deterministic universe, and b) having the actual resources to act on it since not having the power to act on this knowledge could just make the death of your whole civilization a Cassandra effect)

Unlikely for Wardens or SF to win at this point. Oracles have more votes than both combined.

Morale isn't a thing in this game? Might be mixing up Endless Legend and Endless Space.
