A core mechanic in Star Wars Outlaws revolves around working for and partnering with the various crime syndicates that control this portion of the galaxy. You’ll encounter four you can work with: Pyke Syndicate, Ashiga Clan, Crimson Dawn, and Hutt Cartel. They all offer different jobs and unique rewards, and some of them affect the main story of the game. But you can’t make all of them happy. Someone’s bound to get hurt in the crossfire!

Here’s an in-depth look at the game’s main factions, their rewards, which you should side with early on, and more!
The factions of Star Wars Outlaws
As mentioned, Star Wars Outlaws features four crime syndicates for Kay Vess to partner with: Pyke Syndicate, Crimson Dawn, Hutt Cartel, and Ashiga Clan. You’ll encounter the Pyke Syndicate first, then the Crimson Dawn. But just because you met Pyke first doesn’t mean you must side with them. Opportunities will arise during quests that force you to choose between two opposing organizations, and in doing so, the mission outcome varies along with its rewards. Some do prove better than others!
It’s also worth knowing that your reputation with any given faction will hugely change your day-to-day experience while playing, where entering their territory (whether on a planet or in space) might see you cautiously welcomed, or immediately fired upon.
