On the part of the web site where there are four symboles, one federation, on klingon, and two others. On is Romulan and the other is Cardasian. Will these be future story lines of the game?
They are looking at adding other factions to the game down the road but I wouldnt expect it anytime soon as they have a lot to work on with klingons first.
There were actually some dev comments about that faction webpage some time ago. I'm just too lazy to look.
The gist of it is this, though. While they're thinking about adding more factions in the future, what's on the webpage shouldn't be taken as a promise. 'cause when they say factions, they just mean...factions in the game. Which can be NPC factions. Not necessarily player ones.
If you play through the Federation campaign and, hell, look at the galaxy map...it's pretty clear that space is divided up into five areas. Federation, Klingon, Romulan and Cardassian.
Playing the Fed game, you fight mainly Klingons, Romulans, and Cardassians. So those are the big NPC factions.
Borg is the last big NPC faction, and it isn't on that faction webpage - not even as a greyed out symbol. But then Borg missions weren't in the game at launch. They're a post-launch addition.

Read the most recent State of the Game for what we can expect to see in the coming months.
I really wish they'd take down that factions page until they have reason to have more than two factions listed there.
