Well, 4-1/2 years later, after deciding to make a concerted push, I finally "achieved" Champion of Tarsis status. So what was the driving force motivating me to pursue this absurd soul-crushing grind? ...
The MW blueprints that were obsolete 4 years ago? ... seriously? Ok, if that's not it, surely the Gold color unlock. Well, I'm not into game (nor real life) Barbie. I will admit I did immediately make an all-Gold Colossus just because.
No, it was to FINALLY get that damned Cortex scroll that has been teasingly just out of reach all these years! And here it is...

The Champion has come! Finally, after all these years. Drinks are on me.   |

Congratulations. I can't remember the excat requirements for this challenge since it's been so long since I have done this back in 2019. But I actually did it mainly for the gold color unlock which I have been using ever since in pretty much all of my javelin's appearances in some (usually subtle) way.

It's the onerous 50K/50K/50K Faction Rep one: Towards the end, I made a new pilot (which I tend to do in ME3 MP and other games as well). And completed near the bare minimum missions for Matthias & Brin, so that only Freelancer missions would pop in Quickplay. Freelancer was about 8K behind the other two.

Completing strongholds was the quickest way to gain faction rep as far as I can remember. Two of them came naturally over time and I didn't even pay attention to it since I was primarily focused on farming gear and HoR and ToS were the best options for that back then. I painfully remember a whole weekend of only playing Tyrant Mine over and over again though to get the last couple thousand points together I was missing. I think Tyrant Mine was Arcanist faction and we hardly ever played that stronghold.

I think Tyrant Mine was Arcanist faction and we hardly ever played that stronghold. That's what I've read. Strongholds aren't my preferred content, and yes Tyrant Mine in particular. And only HoR gives Freelancer pts (it became clear early on that Freelancer pts were the rate limiting step).
I understand that some (2?) of the Seasonal Strongholds are "bugged" in that they give you 150 pts for the relevant faction per player (so a 4-person team will award you 600 pts for a faction). But I didn't exploit for above reasons and others.
