Blargh, missed these on IRC day, these questions apply to part 1 only:
Could we get a brief glimpse at motivations and backstory for the short or non-existent faction entries in the wiki? As a bonus for people who are imagining a typical citizen of a given faction, particularly for the more alien sounding ones, what is the usual name like?

Finally, can we assume that there is a vast outer-arm Milky Way system of stargates that include the stargates the player uses in part 1? Would be nice if we could get a napkin sketch of the spheres of influence of each faction presented in part 1, that is, if the latter is true.

Thanks!

in my exploration as an Independent Trader I have met many in my travels and shipping / mining adventure :
common names among:

Ares:
Caycin ; Elrin ; Evelie ; Rela
in Earthucan that's a krystyn, John, George and Hans.

RANX :
Comalenth ; Craimanth ; Tath ; Tiandiath ;Tralgonth
in earthican that's a John, Henry, Sam , Tom and Sandy

of course they always just roll their eyes when I can't pronounce their names and just call them joe.
