While the Sentinels serve as a police force and are of unknown origin or true intentions, the other three factions (Korvax, Gek and Vy'keen) inhabit the star systems.
- The Korvax are a near-immortal sentient machine species. They value science and exploration. Also, they worship the Atlas and accept the Sentinels presence. They specialize in Exosuit technology.
- The Gek are a sentient amphibious species. They value commerce, and the ancient First Spawn Gek believed themselves to be the master race of the galaxy. They specialize in Starship technology.
- The Vy'keen are a humanoid sentient species. They are military-oriented with a very rigid honor system. Also, they do not agree with the Sentinels laws and declared war. They specialize in Multi-tool technology.
You can be affiliated with the three factions mentioned above, but your reputation with e.g. the Korvax won't affect your reputation with the other factions because they are not hostile to each other. However you cannot have any reputation with the Sentinels.
