So obviously FFG is cool with doing additional factions to the two we all know and love, even though originally they seemed to be against it. The Xwing game is doing very good for them, so uunderstandably, most likely, they want to keep it going and remain fresh. So I am guessing that the next wave/new faction will be the other "good" guys from the Star Wars universe. I am talking about other governments/empires/races, etc. I think that some good options would be the Hapans, the Chiss, and the Corporate Sector Authority. They are all different than Scum and Villainy in that theyare not fringers but legitimate allies of either the Empire or Rebellion/ New Republic. There are some cool ships in those factions that would be super cool to use in Xwing. What do you all think?
Post Scum and Villainy Wave 7 speculation: Honorable Allies
It has begun...
In all seriousness, Fringe is a very big faction that should keep them going for quite a while. TBH, the reason I think they did it is to make miniatures that they wanted to make that didn't fit Rebels or Empire but fit very nicely with Edge of the Empire.
Edited by LagomorphiaThis thread will be very well received.
Forum members lose their minds in 5..4..3...
No. They're only going to use the iconic stuff. So far we've seen a plethora of content from 90s PC games.
Expect stuff from that.
Wave 7 threads are supposed to be made only by cubanboy
Well, the door is now open! I agree, I think we will see more factions added to this game now. I think it will take some time to get the Scum and Villainy faction up to where the Rebs and Imps are, but once that happens...
Side note, I thought this was an announcement for the Scum and Villainy podcast, episode 7.
Mr.Froggies, is a name change in order?
I would love to see a Corsec faction if nothing more than to see X-wings (one piloted by Corran Horn no less) side by side with TIE Interceptors.

I MAKE A MOTION!
They have to keep the podcast name the same, but they can only play Pirate Faction after wave 6 releases!
Come on man, we don't even know much about wave 6 yet. Focus.
You're right. Sorry. Proverbial kid in candy store.
It could be smugglers; it could be pirates; it could be...

I do like me some Y-Wings, but I can't help if FFG loves our podcast so much that they named a faction after it 
Kinda surprised to see the viper at 20 dollars.
I think we're going to see a way for the S&V ships to be used as an independent third faction, or mixed in with Rebels or Imperials via upgrade cards or a "2 mercenary ships per list" (just as an example) rule.
