Pastebin link in case the formatting in the forum editor doesn't take.

Exactly what the title says. A three planet system with one custom minor faction in the middle. The minor faction has a starbase and some other gear. This is my first foray into Galaxy Forge and the forum here; apologies if I've missed something obvious or otherwise messed up.

I am posting this as the reference I wish I had after going through a few hours of crashing Galaxy Forge and Sins (on map load) trying to get the attributes correct and get the minor faction functioning correctly with their templated gear.

As a side note, the debug messages Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion Dev.exe gives on map load were useful in the adventure that was getting this to work. Side, side note; findstr (similar to grep) is also a fantastic windows utility that I used on the Sins program files directory to track down how various definitions are used in official game maps and other files.
