Need players for new PBEM: Custom Faction Battle

[Senethro]

This one is for the Theory-Centauri players amongst us. Enter a custom player faction of approximately same strength as Peacekeepers or Morgan. They can be anything you want. Something completely new, a combination of two other factions, a re-balanced Planet Cult. I ask that you keep the factions fair (as in not overpowered. No super-Uni) and balanced (No one-trick ponies. Early rush/uber pop-boom specialists will be viewed with suspicion).

If anyone has more than one custom faction, post about them anyway. Perhaps someone else will want to play them. And if people have suggestions for overpowered factions for the AI, those are welcome too.

I hold the veto on if a faction is permitted to play, but I'm willing to listen to lots of opinions as there are many people I respect here. I'll be accepting nearly anything that isn't obvious power-gaming.

The map:
SMAX - Human factions only.
Transcend
Large
50/50 Land/Ocean. Continents with substantial landbridges.
Heavy rainfall, average fungus/rockiness
3CP start.
Player number dependant on interest.
All victories
No intentional use of stockpile bug
Spoils of War on.
Otherwise standard 'poly rules.

I haven't decided on the details of my faction but I'm leaning towards a commerce driven builder whos not Morgan.

I thought it worth reincarnating.

Some rough factions off the top of my head (including input from other custom factions I've dealt with):

Idea: Sacrifice the upside of GAs to avoid the downside of drone riots, but since drone riots hurt more than GAs help, sacrifice something extra to make up some of the difference.
TALENT, 1 (one extra talent per population unit; almost no drone riots and plentiful GAs)
--GROWTH (need Demo + Planned + GA for pop boom)
--ECON (need FM + Wealth + GA for +2 Econ; as energy-anemic as Yang very early)
-PLANET
Aversion: Fundamentalist

Idea: Deirdre/Morgan/gift economy
Free Tree Farms with appropriate tech
+PLANET
INTEREST, 0 (+1 EC/base/turn)
--GROWTH
Robust, Growth (yields -1 Growth normally, or -2 with Green, but still allows Demo/Planned/GA pop booms)
-10% Interest
Aversion: Free Market

Idea: Spartans without that annoying Industry penalty
++MORALE
--SUPPORT
+POLICE
DRONE, 3
