Syndicates

Syndicates are groups of interest operating throughout the Origin System separate from the Corpus, Grineer, and the Tenno. These factions have their own ideologies and goals regarding the fate of the system, with some inevitably in disagreement with another syndicate.

As an upcoming game feature, players can choose to perform various quests, missions and alerts for a particular syndicate, raising the player's affinity with that group and earning unique rewards. Raising familiarity with one group however can raise the anger of another group, and even lead them to launch hits against a player, so choosing which syndicate to curry favor with is important.

Groups
There are currently 6 known Syndicates.

Red Veil
"The Red Veil see corruption all around them. They are honor-bound to heal the system through a great and violent purge. No cost too great, no blood too precious."

The Red Veil resistance group was the first of the syndicates to be introduced, first featured during the Specters Of Liberty event and the Avalanche Offensive.

Steel Meridian
"Lead by a battle-hardened Grineer deserter, the Steel Meridian fight a guerilla war against a vast enemy. They are sworn protectors of what little remains of the colonies."

Arbiters of Hexis
"The dogmatic Arbiters a truth through discipline and practice. They reject the "Tenno as Warrior" mythology - a lie constructed to limit their potential."

Cephalon Suda
"A vast consciousness watching with a curious eye. Seemingly devoid of emotion Suda's thirst for knowledge and abhorrence of destruction can only be described as passionate."

The Perrin Sequence
"A collective of brilliant and powerful merchants, splintered from the Corpus. Their goal is to restore order by bringing prosperity and direction to the violent world they study."

New Loka
"Only through restoration of a pure humanity and the repopulation of Earth can the conflict end. The New Loka are worshippers of the human form and Earth, before its corruption."

Trivia

 * The Perrin Sequence takes its name from the mathematical number sequence named after mathematician Raoul Perinn.
 * With the name "Cephalon", as well as seen in the Devstream, it can be guess that Cephalon Suda is an A.I. much like Ordis.
