* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRebirth'', Avalanche is reconceived as consisting of various cells, similar to real-life terrorist organizations. Barret Wallace's cell is considered to have become a "splinter cell" (even referred to specifically by the other groups and Avalanche HQ), due to resorting to violent methods, particularly blowing up Mako reactors in Midgar.

* The ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' novelization states that Monarch suspect the Titan poachers in ''Godzilla: Dominion'' and the novel's prologue, who tried to capture Na Kika before Godzilla destroyed their oil rig, might have been a rogue splinter group from [[Characters/MonsterVerseHumans the eco-terrorists]] who featured in ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' -- this theory is one of the many things that Mark Russell is [[ArbitrarySkepticism sceptical]] of in the book. The poachers' interest in exploiting the Titan's biological materials for profit in the novel's prologue is similar to how the eco-terrorists fund their operations by trafficking Titan DNA, but unlike them, the poachers are entirely self-serving and have no higher end-goals beyond making themselves a good buck.

* ''Series/MonarchLegacyOfMonsters'': In the back half of Season 1, [[spoiler: Shaw and Duvall organize a group of likeminded Monarch operatives into going rogue against what they see as the organization's HeadInTheSandManagement, taking the proactive step of bombing the portals to Hollow Earth in order to keep any more Titans from emerging, but ignoring the fact that doing so risks provoking another attack regardless.]]

* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'': Unlike the other Freedom Fighters, the Sand Blast City Freedom Fighters are ruthless and their actions questionable. It was because of their abusive treatment that the deroboticized Robians joined the ''Eggman Empire''. Yes, it got so bad that the former slaves entered into an alliance with their former master.

*** You have [[InternalReformist the Recongregationists]], a group who resents the way the Imperial government has developed and want to abolish and replace the majority of its institutions and greatly restructure the rest.

*** You have [[InternalReformist the Recongregationists]], a group who resents the way the Imperial government has developed and want to abolish and replace the majority of its institutions and greatly restructure the rest. Of course, given that the Imperium is "the bloodiest regime imaginable" that isn't necessarily ''more'' evil than the rest of the Inquisition…



*** There's also the [[AlienArtsAreAppreciated Xenos Hybris]], who spurn the FantasticRacism against xenos the Imperium enforces and believe humanity should seek peaceful relations and even alliances with alien races and facilitate cultural exchange, usually on the fringes of the Imperium where the dogmatic laws of the Imperium that forbid this can't be enforced effectively. They also frequently smuggle in Xenos tech (seen as heretical in the Imperium) to study.

Of course, depending on the xenos in question, this isn't necessarily "evil" outside the Imperium's xenophobia.


Added DiffLines:

*** Within the Puritan side, there is the Monodominants, extremists even by the Imperium's standards who even other Inquisitors look up as excessive, indiscriminate and prone to trampling over everyone in their path, and whose zeal has a tendency to leave them blind to things like "the Imperium kinda needs Astropaths and Navigators, so you can't do away with all psykers and mutants".

* {{Inverted|Trope}} in ''Fanfic/HazredousInterruptions''. [[ForWantOfANail The interruption of Tukson's canon death]] leads to a more conservative faction of the White Fang splitting off and forming a less violent group, called Bastion, that strove to be truer to the Fang's original goals of peaceful coexistence with human.

* ''Fanfic/ShadowsOverMeridian'' has an interesting example wherein most of the faction doesn't ''know'' that they're renegade: [[spoiler:when Elyon orders her northern army to [[KnowWhenToFoldEm end the siege of Snowpoint and withdraw to the capital to regroup]], Vera Bexley refuses to abandon [[YouKilledMyFather her quest for revenge on the Mogriffs]] and goes rogue, tricking her friends into believing that they've been ordered to go on a covert mission to assassinate the Mogriff leader Metalbeak (the main target of Vera's vendetta).]]

** The Swamplands arc features a more clearcut example with the rebel forces in the titular region. Under the command of [[KnightTemplar Lord Kur]], these rebels have cut off communication between the region and the capital (with help from [[spoiler: Aldarn]], who agrees with their aims but not their motives) so that they can act without oversight from Elyon or any more reasonable rebel leaders who would be opposed to them [[FullCircleRevolution unilaterally rounding up suspected Phobos loyalists without trial]], or their intentions of [[ThePurge purging all nonhumans from the area]]. It says something that the locals are actually ''happy'' to have Phobos swoop in and defeat the rebels, as his rule of the area was at least more peaceable by comparison.
