Factions

There are eleven factions in Lost Alpha, all with their own unique agendas. Each faction has a different relationship with other factions in the Zone, sometimes friendly, neutral, or hostile. Each faction has a logo usually worn as a patch on their clothing that identifies them as part of their respective faction, but can also be identified via the signal broadcast by their PDAs. Some NPC (marked with a special icon) will offer to be your guide (AKA fast travel) for an appropriate sum of money.

Faction Standings

 * Below is a chart detailing how each faction reacts to other factions in the Zone.
 * Relationships are assumed based upon non-hostile action from the player, and derived from gamefiles for v1.3003 but are generally valid to v1.4005.
 * A friendly disposition means that a Stalker will assist another Stalker if they are under attack. A neutral disposition means that a Stalker will generally ignore if another Stalker is under attack.
 * A hostile disposition means that a Stalker will attack another Stalker on sight.
 * Certain storyline events are scripted to alter the player's stance to various Factions as plotline devices.
