Template:Factioninfo/doc

This template can be used as a standardized infobox for factions and species (the latter being amended for)

Variables

 * name : Official Name of the Faction (i.e. United Federation of Planets, rather than Federation or Starfleet)
 * faction : Faction ID for the infobox, i.e. Klingon or Kentari
 * status : Playable Faction, NPC Faction, Sub-faction (e.g. Gorn, Vulcan, Orion), Mentioned Species (non appearing in game, but mentioned in missions)
 * species : List max 3 of the most notable species, not an exhaustive list. This is not automatically linked so you can link individual species if you wish.
 * quadrant : The main home quadrant of the species in-game, even if they operate in more than one. This is automatically linked.
 * origin : The planet the species evolved on. This is automatically linked.
 * related : Other species they are directly related to (e.g. Vulcans and Romulans, Andorians and Aenar)
 * capital : Location of most if its government. This is automatically linked.
 * political_system : If available, go by what Memory Alpha or Beta says unless STO canon has significantly diverged.
 * allegiance : If subject to a larger power
 * foreign_policy : Their in-game role
 * leader : Their main political leader, so J'mpok rather than Khaless (head of government over head of state). This isn't linked so clarification can be added (i.e. Gaul's death)
 * alliance_relations : Put Member if they're confirmed, friendly if they allied but not "Alliance", antagonistic if their role is mostly that of an enemy for the player (not Iconian servitors if applicable). This is auto-linked to the Alliance article for clarification to the user.
 * playability : e.g.: Player and Bridge Officer, Bridge Officer (KDF)
 * traits : unique or required traits to players or bridge officers that help define the species
 * imagepeople : Use an image showing average people in the faction - doesn't have to include every variety.
 * peoplecap : Default caption is "Citizens of (faction)"
 * imageships : Use an image showing typical ship design.
 * shipscap : Default caption is "Starships of (faction)"
