WARFRAME Wiki

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 TennoIcon Tenno. Other factions such as the IconGrineerOn Grineer, the IconCorpusOn Corpus, theInfestation w Infested, the SentientFactionIcon Sentient and the IconOrokinOn Orokin are presented as adversaries, while the ReputationLarge Syndicates and the IconWild Wild are mostly neutral, but can act as allies or enemies to the Tenno.

TennoIcon Tenno

TennoFactionNewLook
They were called Tenno. Warriors of blade and gun: masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the old war were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more.

IconGrineerOn Grineer

GrineerFactionNewLook
They say there is power in numbers - the Grineer are living proof. Wretched from centuries of cloning that has left their genetics in decay, this horde expands their vile empire through brute force, conquering anyone who tries to stop them.

IconCorpusOn Corpus

CorpusFactionNewLook
The Corpus embody the cold vacuum of space - heartless and bent on taking anything left unprotected. Driven by profits, the Corpus Board’s small numbers are supplemented by their legion of robot proxies, optimized for quick and efficient destruction.

Infestation w Infested

Infestation Diorama

The Infestation is more than a disease - it is a horror of twisted flesh, monsters made into reality. The blight consumes its victims, transforming them into unrecognizable atrocities controlled by rabid impulse.

The Infested are a single-minded scourge that belongs in the realm of nightmares, but instead chooses to invade ships and colonies, leaving only death and destruction in its wake.

IconOrokinOn Orokin

CBcorrupted
The highly revered Orokin civilization built sovereignty on a culture of art, technology and architecture. To prove oneself worthy of elevated social status, one must face Orokin trials in the golden and majestic Halls of Ascension. At one time a utopian society of omniscient leadership, the great Orokin Era ended in a divine realization of their own ignorance.

ReputationLarge Syndicates

SyndicateGroupBanner

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.


IconWild Wild

CBskate

Unaffiliated or Neutral lifeforms are those that do not side with any of the major factions, including wild animals.
