RimWorld Faction Name Generator

RimWorld names its factions by type, and the game's own generator follows tight rules for each. Outlander civilizations read like frontier governments: a place word plus Union, Confederacy, Civil Alliance, Federation or Coalition, as in Greymont Union or Free Sea Coalition. Rough outlanders and wasters swap the civic suffix for something scrappier, like Scavengers, Junkers or Rabble. Tribes are named for a people or a thing they revere: Tribe of Kalumeh, Children of the Muffalo, Stonespear Tribe, with the tribal syllables (Oki, Tuka, Dakom) borrowed from the same pool as tribal pawn names.

Pirates and raiders take a violent animal, colour or weapon and a collective noun: Greyhand Raiders, Redjaw Reavers, Sons of the Plague. The Empire is the exception, using grand houses, stellarchs and imperial domains such as House Valorin or Imperial March of Caldris. Mechanoid and insect hives get cold, impersonal names, and Ideology cults name themselves after what they worship, whether that is the archotech, the void or the anima tree.

Player factions are usually named with dry frontier humour about the crash landing (New Arrival Colony, Fort Muffalo Militia, Luckless Landing). Every group above is represented below, so you can rename every faction on a new world map or stock a faction mod's name bank with names that sound like they belong on the rim.
