[edit] Separation of Faction vs. Good and Evil

• In their first interview with Gamespot, Bioware reveled that they will separate faction from Good and Evil
  • "So one of the things that became really important to us is that we separated the idea of one – of 'faction' and 'good and evil' which is something we about a lot. Light side / dark side is not the same as faction. So you say 'hey, I'm gonna roll a character on the Republic side' but if you think about the original KotOR, you played a character who worked for the republic but that didn't mean Couldn't be dark side."^[1] -- Daniel Erickson (Bioware)

[edit] Factions in SW:TOR

(please note the following is speculation as hardly any information on the actual game has been released)

It is likely the two main factions will be the *Galactic Republic and the *Sith since in this time frame the two are at war and they would be the most obvious choices for pvp. *Mandalorians and the *Jedi Order will without a doubt be sub factions that can be joined as both played prominent roles in both KOTOR games and have large fan followings.

List of factions that will most likely appear:

• Galactic Republic
• Jedi Order
• Sith, Sith Empire
• Dark Jedi
• Mandalorians

Most of this depends on the time frame of the game. If it is to take place after KOTOR II (as is speculated) those particular Swoop Gangs would not be around.
