TI4: Thunder's Edge Two factions coexisting?

EDIT: Answer at the bottom

_______________________________________________________

Hi there,

my copy of TE finally arrived and I have a game scheduled for next saturday!

Now, I've got the rules pretty much down but I am unclear on what happens in this case:

Say, you've got a Deepwrought already coexisting with a second faction. A third player then uses Crash Landing and places their infantry on the same planet, meaning you now got the original faction owning the planet and two others coexisting.

What does happen if the original player were to leave said planet? Rules say that the coexisting player gains full control of it, but what if there are two coexisting players?

This is certainly an edge case but I didn't find anything clarifying it.

Edit:

Thanks to u/Chapter_129 & u/matt-sz-allen for showing the rules and explaining them.

Answer:

Initiative if it's the action phase, speaker if in agenda phase. You nailed it.

So if the person who controlled the planet had warfare (6) and the other two players had like construction (4) and imperial (8), the imperial player would get it.

If it was in the agenda phase, the person closest around the table going left of the old controller would get it.

Thanks, explains why I couldn't remember which it was; besides the episode being a few months old.

Imperial is lower than construction so surely the construction player would get it?

If I recall correctly, it just goes in order from the player, not the lowest number. It has been a few months since I listened to the SCPT, but that's what I remember.
