Factions of the Hop Civil War

The Grand Sop Army

Notable Members

• Hop (Leader, Son of Sop, Tier 3)
• Bop N. Tunes (Communications & Coordination, Hopling Class II)
• Arritz the Hero (Hop's co-leader of the 57th Grand Sop Army Division, Knight of Sop, Hero of R'Juko)

Summary

This is Hop's leading military force. All hopfolk that are at least 10 orbits old are allowed to enlist. It is comprised of the typical forces of the Grand Sop Army, broken down into numerous Divisions. It is spiritually supported by the Knights of Sop, who were enrolled into the standard fighting forces as co-leaders in major campaigns. This military had over 10^1000 Hops in its forces at its peak of the war.

Hop only led a singular force, his own division (the 57th "Knights Assault Battalion"), except at the reclamation of the Hoalmims galactic cluster and The Battle of Tuirqo, where he led his own forces and allies such as "Frhank" into battle,

The New Sop Order

Notable Members

• Ith-Top (Former Rank 4 Knight, Leader)
• Yuop Sheopth (Tactical & Logistics Advisor, 2nd in command)
• Hoppit the Third (Master Martial Artist of NSO)
• Yession (Former Knight of Sop turned Warlord, Vice Hopficer in NSO)
• Vop-Don-Gwu (Owner of the 3 largest starship manufacturers in the universe)

Summary

Among all the factions, the New Sop Order was the largest and most followed of the divided Hoppist ideology. They possessed ideas that were violent and destructive to external beings. Their religious cause is often overlooked as a politically driven one, lead by action and strength, not by faith and process. Non-hopfolk beings were considered inferior and not allowed to join their ranks, as they only accepted the original, pure hopfolk race into their group.

They formed a militia using Hop's personal followers to their advantage and were comparable to the largest scale terrorist groups. Several trillion members from Karrots and beyond were conscripted to this force. They were also the primary manufacturers and distributors of holfolk weapons and vehicles, such as the descendants of Horduarus-Sho from the Royal Ampbersamd Company. All their resources were confiscated and studied by the GSA upon their defeat during The Battle of Tuirqo.

Gop's Paw

Notable Members

• Iver "Ivsi" Usin (Head Figure, practitioner of dark arts)
• Rop-Shuv-Kan (2nd in command, Former Council Courts supporter)

Summary

Similar to the New Sop Order, this was a military & political group. However, at first they tried diplomacy and manipulating the political systems of other planets, eventually conquering them. Unlike the New Sop Order, however, Hop was able to swiftly find and destroy this group. However, due to the lack of any real physical violence, Gop's Paw became a group that symbolized non-violent invasion, and the dangers of messing with others' minds.

Misc Groups

• "The Hoppiest"
• First True Temple of Soppism
• Allies of aforementioned factions, including the people of Tuirqo Planetary System
