Good afternoon. Can someone help me with a question:  
I have a list of NPC sourcing on request:  
[https://esi.evetech.net/latest/corporations/npccorps/?datasource=tranquility](https://esi.evetech.net/latest/corporations/npccorps/?datasource=tranquility),  
I can find out the name of each corporation, etc. on request:  
[https://esi.evetech.net/latest/corporations/](https://esi.evetech.net/latest/corporations/) corporationID/?datasource=tranquility,  
How can I find out which FACTION it belongs to?

This is missing from ESI, but is available in the SDE ([https://developers.eveonline.com/resource](https://developers.eveonline.com/resource)).

For example, Caldari Navy (corporation `1000035`) has a `factionId` value of `500001` (Caldari State):

```auto
{
  ...
  "factionID": 500001,
  "nameID": {
    "en": "Caldari Navy",
    ...
  },
  "raceID": 1,
  ...
}

```
