Learning About Factions

I'm looking to learn a bit more about the factions in Sunless Sea, specifically what stories in Sunless Sea/Fallen London contain information on the following groups.
- Anarchists
- Dawn Machine/New Sequence
- Admiralty
- The Khanate
What I know so far is that the Khanate was the Fourth City, and more information about their culture before the fall was revealed in The Silver Tree. I've heard whispers that the New Sequence (I've never seen this term used in game) is a sub-faction of the admiralty, but little else.
Feel free to share any questions or secrets you've found!

So, you want to learn about fractions? Well, it happens I know this great game involving frogs, where... oh, wait, right, gotcha.
The New Sequence... how does one describe them? A proto-fascist techno-cult? A reactionary military conspiracy? The modern Prometheus, reimagined on a political scale? All of the above? In any case, they don't have the universal support of the government or even within the Admiralty, but there are enough plotters with enough power to be a serious danger.
The Anarchists, well, there are plenty of anarchist groups around, trying to radically reshape society by various means. The Calendar Council is just about the most secretive, most militant and most uncompromising of them all, though. Such is their commitment to tearing down tyrants in the cause of liberty that they'd happily assassinate God and abolish the laws of physics. Considering all the Masters are up to, well, maybe they have a point. They're very much the antithesis of the New Sequence, in any case, though no less dangerous.
The New Khanate have already been very well summed up - a splinter faction from the Fourth City who outlived their originators. They're not so very different from London, though their secret police are even more ruthlessly efficient than the Ministry of Public Decency. But, they don't answer to the Bazaar and they don't truck with the Fingerkings, and they're thoroughly adapted to life in the Neath.

There's plenty of factions, but only one Empire. Serve London or stay out of range of my deck cannon.

I'm only in the Empire for the free fuel and money when I submit Port Reports.
