The X-universe is home to many species and factions. Each race has unique ships and factories making it an important choice whether to befriend or fight any given race. There are also corporations that have their own hidden reputation ranks which mirror those of their affiliated race.

Yaki
Allies: Pirates
Enemies: Argon, ATF, Boron, Goner, Kha'ak, Paranid, Split, Teladi, Terran, Xenon
Territories: The three sectors south of Savage Spur which is west of the Paranid Prime cluster of systems
Comments: Yaki raiders will be found attacking ships and stations throughout the northern Split sectors and neighbouring Teladi sectors. Yaki also occasionally spawn in Harmony of Perpetuity (Goner sector). Yaki ships will often spawn as hostiles for the Defend Station missions. The ships sold by the Yaki shipyard in Senator's Badlands have a high price and low durability combined with below average damage output. Players will often make enemies of the Yaki due to the abundance of weak TL and M1 class ships present in Yaki sectors that can be used for boarding practice to train the Fighting skill of marines/mercenaries. If the player sides with Beryll during the Shady Business missions the Yaki shipyard becomes the only source of Incendiary Bomb Launcher and Plasma Burst Generator forges. Yaki reputation will not show up under the My Pilot Status menu but can be guessed from the announcements when docking at a Yaki station. Yaki pilots use the same avatars as Pirates.
Corporations
Unlike X3: Terran Conflict most corporations offer no effect on gameplay other than the unique range of wares offered at their headquarters
Atreus
Affiliation: Boron
Base of operations: Queen's Harbour
Comments: Sells Jumpdrives.
Beryll
Affiliation: Yaki
Base of operations: Albion Alpha
Comments: Only owns a research station but plays an important role in the Shady Business missions. Sells Supply Command Software for those hostile with the Argon.
Duke's Dangerous Materials (Duke's)
Affiliation: Pirates
Base of operations: Lasting Vengence
Comments: Has a large Paranid and Pirate fleet guarding the headquarters. Players who are enemy with the Pirates can often find Mercury TS freighter ships belonging to this corporation which can be a good source of salvageable goods and early TS traders. The headquarters is the only source of the Software Signature Scrambler equipment which is a must have for using the System Override Software.
Industritech
Affiliation: Terran
Base of operations: Saturn Research Station (Saturn)
Comments: The only corporation to show up in the My Pilot Status menu in X3: Albion Prelude. This is the focus of the Corporation Troubles missions. Although this corporation has no headquarters to call home (what would have been the headquarters gets given as a reward for completing the missions) all missions affecting reputation are given out from Saturn Research Station.
