I think of faction by looking at their leaders

zemina torval = trade lady
lavigny duval = bounty hunter lady
alliance dude = explorer
gangboss = pirates
aisling duval = facebook mind control
patreus = bounty hunter but crap reward (cheaper ammo)

thank you!
and yeah, search isn't always an answer, especially if you haven't been scouring forums to have a start point you know of
Arissa and Aisling seem my faves so far, both RP and benefit wise

There's a couple of great posts up on reddit that are well worth reading;
Who is who? - http://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/37x36x/power_primer_the_who_is_who_of_13/
Benefits and bonuses - http://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDanger...wer_control_effects_the_policies_and_bonuses/

Caveat: benefits and bonuses subject to change.

Aisling Duvals hidden power is to burst into song in the middle of battles inspiring you to victory.

(Srsly though when I saw her portrait one of the first things that popped into my head was Lacus Clyne and Sheryl Nome, heh.)

how come each faction is documented on a wiki or on the main Elite site?

It seems a pic, bio and write-up of each faction would make sense, so folks know who to pic.

Some of these guys support slavery (as in Imperial Slaves referenced on the GalNet news). Abe Lincoln ain't down with that, and neither am I.
