Q-3PO updates us with a short list of faction perks.

What perks are there for joining a faction?

Perks are acquired by spending faction points; different perks cost different amounts. You acquire faction points by doing missions for the faction, via participation in battlefields, and through plain old fighting the opposing side, at any time and under any circumstances. Some perks can only be used on the battlefield (for example, you spend faction points in order to build defenses for your base on a battlefield). Others can be used anywhere in the game. Some perks can only be used whil you are overtly declared, and others can be used while in covert status (remember, you can move fairly freely between these two states). A sampling of the perks that can be obtained includes:

• Military rank titles
• Military uniforms
• Special military equipment that is specific to the faction
• The ability to spend faction points in exchange for military training, thereby permitting you to earn skills through military training rather than through the earning of XP
• The ability to check out soldiers (such as Stormtroopers or Rebel soldiers) to adventure with
