While you are at it, can you say "favorite space fiction factions" three times? Ha. Also, I know I am missing a lot from certain series. I just named the main ones -- or at least, ones I think fans will most recognize when they are asked about said universes. Feel free to comment one you like that is not on the list, though.

United Federation of Planets (Star Trek), the Downstreamers (Manifold Trilogy)... the Q Continuum (Star Trek), as my third one. The last two are more difficult to think of.

I like the idea of the separists. I don't like the war they declared. But if a group of systems want to leave the republic, I don't see that as a problem. Also, I like the cybrans from supreme commander. Ofc, brown coats keep flying free. I like the brotherhood of nod, but I have to support the UN in those games. But lets face it, Kane is awesome. And the outcasts from Freelancer. Decedents of a lost colony ship. With an interesting addiction related to the planet they crashed on. That and I like their ships.

Books
The Scramblers (Blindsight)
Greenfly (Revelation Space)
The Formics (Ender's Game)
The Tlic (Bloodchild) - Kinda light on the sci-fi, I'll admit, but still pretty interesting aliens
Video Games
The Rachni (Mass Effect)
The Liir and the Suul'ka (Sword of the Stars) - Very interesting alien society and a much better version of the Reapers (IMO) respectively
The Ethereals, and their cadre of fellow aliens (XCOM franchise)
The Lekgolo or 'Hunters' (Halo franchise) - The only alien immune to Flood infection and not reliant on corruptible AI? Screw humanity and the forerunners, its these guys that deserve 'The Mantle'
The Necromorphs (Dead Space)
Movies/TV
The Xenomorphs (Alien franchise) - And no, I don't want to count the "prequels" as cannon
The Thing from another world (The Thing)
Skynet (Terminator)
Cylons (Battlestar Galactic) - The toasters, not the fleshy human wannabes
Other
Necrons (WH40K)
Tyranids (WH40K)
All the ones I can think of right now, though there are more.

The Awoken aren't a faction, and 90% of the draw of Stellaris is creating your own empire so listing any of the premade empires from that game is pointless.
Also the EarthGov in Dead Space barely exists, both in-universe since it's dismantled by a bunch of insane cultists, and out-of-universe since it's barely described. There's like 2 characters across all 3 games who are actually affiliated with EarthGov.
No W40k? If the Necrons were anywhere on the list, I'd pick them.
And what the hell is with the lack of StarCraft for video games, but you included Dead Space and Resistance?

Why is there no Kilrathi, or Meklars, or NOD, or Russians...
