We’ve all grown familiar with the Grineer and Corpus as major character-driven factions within Warframe. Established groups that have motivations and goals, sometimes with leaders that argue amongst themselves how best to achieve them. But there are more forces at play than the struggle for dominance between the Grineer Queens and merchant collective. Syndicates operate with their own agenda.

Joining a Syndicate requires a sacrifice that will test your dedication to their cause, with additional sacrifices required to advance through a Syndicate’s rank. What will be asked of you will change depending on the preferences of your chosen Syndicate’s leaders; but the rewards of showing such loyalty are of immense value to any Tenno.

Each Syndicate has their own agenda rooted in the tenets they hold close. Sometimes those values may fall into alignment with another, but often times Syndicates will find themselves at odds with an opposing Syndicate. Such a tenuous balance of power means that Syndicates are more than welcoming of Tenno that wish to fight for their cause.

Be warned. While fighting for one Syndicate’s cause may increase your Standing with their leaders doing so will not go unnoticed. Other rival Syndicates will look upon your actions with less favor, and earning their respect in the future may be more difficult.
