Just for fun: tie factions to classes

[AnimatedPaper]

This is not a serious suggestion, but one idea I had as a potential book would be a gazetteer of the second tier factions, each one tied to a remastered version of one of the non-core classes. The idea would be basically a way to have another class book but in the format of non-core rulebook releases, and would look a lot like the Adventurer Guide or Villain Codex in presentation.

Tier 2 factions (factions big enough to have NPCs in the Character Guide but not a full write up):Aldori Swordlords, Apsis Corporation, Bellflower Network, Eagle Knights, Houses of Perfection, Lion Blades, Red Mantis Society, and Whispering Way

Non Core class: Gunslinger, Inventor, Magus, Psychic, Summoner, Thaumaturge

So, as a prompt for everyone, what classes would you match up with which faction if you were writing this book? Feel free to use a class archetype'd version of the class if that makes the most sense: for instance a wizard who can prepare any common primal spell in their school slot would have been interesting for the Maagabmyan Academy. And since there are 8 factions but 6 classes, what new or returning class might you use to fill in the blank?

Or if you have a different idea on how a book for the 6 remastered classes might look, feel free to share that instead.

For me, I'd do it like this:

Aldori Swordlords: This one is the toughest for me, since Starfinder is going to bring in at least a couple character concepts I've wanted to see. But I do miss the challenge mechanic of Cavaliers, so a character class that brought that forward, with perhaps other aura effects like a non-magical bard, could be interesting.

Apsis Corporation: Thaumaturge

Bellflower Network: Gunslingers. But I would want either a revision to the core class or a class archetype that allowed sling weapons to be one of their selectable weapon groups.

Eagle Knights: Psychics. I'd want to see a bunch of spy psychics and skill focused gameplay for this class.

Houses of Perfection: Magus

Lion Blades: Summoners. Now that Animists have a working template, Synthecist summoners might be doable as a class archetype. Bloodragers might also work for this.

Red Mantis Society: Inquisitors as a new class

Whispering Way: Inventors. Ustalav is a hub for both characters, so I'm curious what the overlap might be. An undead "construct" inventor maybe?

[The Raven Black]

Gunslinger : Aspis Consortium (goes with the bounty hunter/ robber feel)

Summoner : Whispering Way, with you own undead mate.

Magus : Red Mantis Society, weapons and arcane magic FTW.

Bellflower network : Psychic for the quiet casting.

Inventor : Eagle knights, innovating for freedom.

Thaumaturge : Lion Blades, to play many roles and strike efficiently at many foes.
