Been a long time ST RPG player and the years with game and here on the forums have given me a sense about who/what the original Factions are.
Afraid I've not played much 4X so the 3 added clans are a bit of a mystery to me and so would appreciate a brief rundown about what sorts they are. Don't need much just a couple sentences that give a general idea about them.
Example: Javat, stoic industrial types. Known for their mines and factories, considered by other factions to be rather dull and unimaginative.
Example: DeVaultos, merchants to the stars. It's all about the bottom line in the accounts ledgers, make a cred and use that to make more by whatever means are at hand, anything and everything is for sale if the price is right.

I've got you covered!
Alta Mesa are well renowned shipwrights, and they have the secrets of the Star Forges, letting them quickly lay down keels for capital ships.
Moklemune are merchants and explorers.
Zenrin are hardened warriors, and have the most experience fighting Xeno ground forces.

Also take a look at the Lore document, which has sections on each Faction.

This info needs to be easy to grab fron the Captain Creation screen. There will be people who don't know a thing about any of the factions. And they need to know if this is just 'flavour text' like, 'What does your flag look like' or do these choices have an impact in how the game plays out. (Gets better prices at the exchange, gets better rolls when boarding other ships, gets better rolls when navigating, etc.)

I guess it probably has gone out to a limited set of backers related to rewards. I'll talk to fallen on Monday about getting it out. |

From a ST2 perspective, we will definitely want to put information into Character Creation. What's in there is a good start, but isn't complete. |

It was a link to a Google document which has been updated weekly since it was sent out. I just did some updates to it yesterday I think.
