The forum Profile Picture lets her Lining be more orange though, which was the faction colour of the vaulters if i am correct?

I agree. Her looks says that she's either UE or Pirate.

Pirates usually have tattoos or scars though.

Tattoos mean nothing. Pilgrims and Vaulters have them too.

But UE don't. Neither she.

It looks like bright red to me.

Kinete looks to be human in appearance. Could Kinete be from a minor faction we haven't seen before, or maybe a major human faction yet to be unveiled. Also, is Kinete a guy or a girl? I can't quite tell. For all of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, Kinete Muldaur is the person who you get by buying the deluxe edition of Endless Space 2 and who is my icon.

I do think it incoorparates some Vaulter design elements. So maybe the humans are a united empire in a sense that it has vibes of all human factions in ES1?

That's not why the faction is called United Empire. It is more like a loose conglomerate of mega corporations that manage colonies/sectors, who pay taxes and are "loyal" to a central government, who controls the military.

She could also be an ABC pilot:

While military expeditions generally destroy these bands of pirates or raiders before they become too powerful, one syndicate of pirate-traders, known as ABC (the Autonomous Bastards' Collective), has grown sufficiently large and wealthy to constitute a serious threat to galactic development. -"Endless Space wiki"

Yes but no one ever said that the United Empire is the United Empire from Endless Space 1. I am just throwing my 3cents in. I would love to see a Feudal like Human Empire with different subfactions... Pilgrims, Vaulters, Those Crusadery dudes.

And yet my opinion stands, the grey linings and the blocky shoulderplates + the rather blocky helmet have a vaulter vibe. Imo. But maybe thats just my hopes screwing my vision. :D

Come on.It's the ES2 human faction.The UE.

In regards to the 'light grey markings on her jacket' and lack (with exception to the red/Crimson colour which was synonymous with the UE in ES1) of a distinguishing UE design, I'd like to point out that heroes in ES2 are different to previous titles.

Essentially, they are mercenaries hired out by the Academy. I'd wager that during their time with, and working on behalf of the Academy, they'd pick up some exoticism they wouldn't have done elsewhere. Hence why I'd agree in saying that tattoos and the grey markings shouldn't be inferred as the sign of a Vaulter, or Pilgrim as the case may be. 

Actually, having said that the overall design isn't indicative of any particular faction (apart from the red lining), the coat strikes me as somewhat grimdark in the way it's cut. The collar is tall and wide, circling around the pilot's face; a lot like the cut of the UE's Leader's coat in ES1...

Well yeah, all Academy heroes are basically mercenaries and no longer hold alegience to their previous factions. However, she must have belonged to one before she was "touched" by Dust. She has a  background.
