There are 3 factions in Ahgram for crafting.
- Society of Invention
- Merchants Guild
- The Cabal
Notes:
* The information on the factions is very light. I did this late at night and jotted the information down on a notepad. I can't decipher my own chicken scratch
* Background information for the factions was not in-game when I was there. Only the Cabal had any background information.
* No faction required to start the quests. You only need to be a level 25 crafter.
* Completing a WO for one faction, decreases your standing with the others. Each WO completed gives you +1 for the Organization you completed it for, -1 for each of the other 2, and then +10 to NT Artisan faction and Thestran Faction.
* There does not seem to be any 'rewards' yet for high faction, but I did see someone running around with a special title.
* Dropping one of the groups quests nets you a -10 Faction hit for that faction.
