So I'm an Amarr newb (1.2m skill points) running missions for Chemal Tech, a Gallente corp because eventually I want to run missions in Domis. Love drones. I've been running missions for a few days, stupidly with low Social and Connections but working to fix that, for a Chemal Tech guy, L1-15Q, trying to get my standing up to where I can run L2 missions. Recently I got offered a story mission by Sysbrenins Carecanne of the Nugoeihuvi Corp, which is a Caldari corp. Troop Build Up is the mission. It involves going into low sec space and blowing up Gallente ships as near as I can tell. This seems a really horrible idea given that I'm trying to get faction with a Gallente corp. What gives? From what I read story missions are the quick way to get faction, so why am I getting offered missions that aren't for the faction that I was running missions for? Or am I way off base?

You don't need standing with Gallente to fly their ships. If you want to fly a Dominix, you simply need to train the required skills. Also if you are Amarr and like drones you should take a look at the Arbitrator cruiser.
If you are offered a mission that you don't like for whatever reason, remember that you can freely decline missions once every four hours per agent without penalty.

Please don’t confuse “get standing” with “get faction”. Faction refers only to the coalitions of corporations; if you start referring to standing by the same word it gets confusing, fast.
Well technically faction standings are standings too… :P
