They are organisations whose members may appear as [[vistors]]s, [[trader]]s, [[guests]], or [[raiders]] depending on the faction's type and relationship with the player's faction, or in their own [[faction base]]s around the map. For most factions, the [[#Faction Relationships|relationship]] between them and the player can vary depending on the actions the player takes. This can result in allies sending reinforcements or trade caravans, or new enemies to [[raid]] you. Other factions are permanently hostile and exist only to send attacks. |

These factions have varying relationships with your colony, and all of them may be your enemy from the start.
