![WARFRAME Wiki](data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="500" height="500"><rect fill-opacity="0"/></svg>)
The factions in WARFRAME are the civilizations and groups fighting for supremacy in the solar system; their conflict is the backdrop of the game's missions. Because nothing in the game indicates an alien origin of any faction, it is assumed that they all are human, trans-human, or created by humans.
The only playable faction are the 
Tenno. Other factions such as the 
Grineer, the 
Corpus, the 
Infested, the 
Sentient, the 
Stalker, the 
Narmer, 
The Murmur and the 
Orokin are presented as adversaries, while the 
Syndicates and the 
Wild are mostly neutral, but can act as allies or enemies to the Tenno.

Syndicates
Syndicates are groups of interest operating throughout the Origin System separate from the Corpus, Grineer, and the Tenno. These groups have their own ideologies and goals regarding the fate of the system, with some inevitably in disagreement with at least one other syndicate, though alliances between said syndicates exist.

I noticed recently that the Orokin Enemy Faction in game now includes all the specters within junctions. Is the wiki gonna be updated to include em?
When are the murmurs mentioned in tennocon reveal 2023 going to be added? when whispers drops? seems late imo
They'll be added when they'll be added to the game
"seems late'' lmao
Its been a few days since release, still no update on the page. tenno going back to grinding cavia standing
Hi
Soooooo... this is a basic Shooting Gallery game, with a completely useless "story line" slapped onto the back end; where the only thing keeping it running and popular are the pretty lights, bright vibrant colors, and the violence. Just another pathetic cash grab.
This is an obvious troll lmao had me dead at "pathetic cash grab"
Was about to beat his face in lmao
Almost any other game is more of a cashgrab than warframe, do your research child
Bait used to be beliveable
I would argue that Arbitration Shield Drone is not unaffiliated. It is part of the Arbiters of Hexis challenge the "Arbitrations".
This is true
Balls
Yes, but arbitrations are not a faction
Arbitrations isn't a faction. But Arbiters of Hexis is, and the shield drone belongs to that faction.
Also stated on the shield drone page.
Anybody who plays destiny 2 will get this one.
Infested = hive, scorn
Grineer = fallen, cabal
Corpus = vex, cabal
Corrupted = taken
Stalker........
This....is news to no one at all that has played this game.
I mean to be this guy
Switch those this game came first
Infested = Zerg
Grineer = Terran
Corpus = Protoss
Corrupted = Hybrid
Pretty common trope
What is the faction for pets?
They are part of tenno
That makes sense, buuuuuuut, they were apart of the wild animals first.
But not anymore
They side with the Tenno now
what faction are the op goo gun shooter people
Nox is part of the Grineer
Theyre not op
But they are to strong for newer players or, if your just under prepared.
Clem c l e m
needs to be updated with the vallis enemies
i get how steel meridian - grineer, perrin sequence - corpus, but how does red veil have infected on there side did they enslave them or whatever i feel that fact was never thought through
The real question is why New Loka- the Earth purists- have Infested Ancients as their hit squads?
Because they are space nazis
They are trying to embrace the infestation
Tbh I prefer space nazis
Where is stalker faction??
Stalker isn't related to the Corpus much at all; the most we know is that he was an Orokin guard who was there to witness the Tenno betrayal of the Orokin and has been holding a grudge ever since.
Not related to corpus at all buddy and lotus is with the sentients im sure if not correct me.
Stalker is from the "stalker" faction and after second dream he is from the "stalker" and "sentients" faction.
Stalker vs lonk lol
As much fun as it is killing Grineer, Corpus, Infested, Sentients and Corrupted, I wouldn't mind taking on an alien race in the future. Something that is modular like the comba units but doesn't block your abilities or annoying stuff like that. Think WH40k Tyranids (but not the swarm size forces, think a group of big uns supporting even bigger big uns) with say... different head types that give effects such breathing fire or a snake like head, arms types that could pulverize, stab, slice, legs that could allow it sprint/scuttle really fast, slither along the ground, climb along walls etc etc. It wouldn't be infested or sentient, it would be fully alien.
Maybe I should put an hour or two to expand on this idea and put it on the official forums.
I honestly think that they should expand more on the Sentients because from what I've seen so far in the game (I recently completed The War Within and Octavia's Anthem) I think the Sentients are extraterrastrials. *cringes at bad spelling*
Where did we learn otherwise? (Beyond Lotus' human appearance)
you missed the part where it was stated numerous times the sentients were an orokin creation. they were sent to Tau to terraform it, but got prissy over there and decided to return to kill off the orokin
Hail Clem
The sentients were originally orokin agricultral unit that were working to harvest resources but when they realised that they would kill tau as well as the origin system they rebelled and devoted themselves to killing off all orokin lifeforms, excluding themselves
When did they add birds to Earth? You can plainly see a huge bird in the sky on Earth defense mission.
You can't attack them or anything but do you think they'll let us have one as a pet at some point?
One of the condocs, i agree
*condrocs
They're everywhere in the Plains of Eidolon
Okay, I wanna know something. I get the Infested, corpus, sentient, tenno, all of that was Humans. But I'm pretty sure that there is one alien race in Warframe: The Ancients. Do we have any proof that they aren't aliens?
Yeah the Synthesis entry. Read the Corrupted Ancient Healer entry. They are just decendents of an Orokin healer class which were cloned then infested. After that they just grew bigger and more non human like. If you look closly you can see several human features such as a broken skull.
... Yeh you're right. Thanks! I forgot about the Ancient Healer.
The ancient healers look as if they are always corrupted with thier crown-like hat
enemy weaknesses..., throuugh a quest we learn of the infesteds weakness to fire, what of orokin, grineer and corpus?
Scan them and go look in the codex
c o r r o s i v e
t o x i n + e l e c t r i c i t y = d e a t h
I think they're
Radiation
Heat
And Magnetic
Respectively
With the lore that came out with the fragments, more information (or canon descriptions) can be put on the factions and planets.
Is it just me, or has the font for some reason changed?
Wasn't just you. As an April Fool's joke, the font was changed to Comic Sans.
S A N S
