Star Wars Galaxies Friday Feature

Sony's official Star Wars Galaxies website has been updated with a new Friday Feature, in which they take a closer look at the Faction Standings chart. A little preliminary information about factions to start you off:
Your faction standing will be a number ranging from 5000 to -5000 and this number represents how NPC's will react to you depend on the number rating in your Factions standing window. The lower the number, the more hostile they will be towards you. The higher the number, the more they consider you to be an ally. To raise or lower your Faction standings with any faction group ("Faction Name" column), you must kill faction enemies to gain their support (the factions listed in the "Faction Enemy" column).
