This game lacks a proper introduction for new players on some aspects of it. For example I've looked everywhere for an explanation of what exactly happens in faction play but the site only provides a general description and videos by players took several things for granted. Thanks to some guy's video I got an idea of what to expect when I enter faction play and how the Scouting mission goes but the Invasion and the need for a Drop Deck and what happens with it were never addressed properly. I had to join an invasion and fumble my way through it to understand what's going on.
Now for the question (again, I can find no information anywhere regarding this). I'm a merc with a contract. In earlier iterations of the game, there was a screen that warned you of the cost of breaking contract and how you broke contract was evident. Presently, I can find no information on the consequences of breaking contract or even if it's possible. Faction Play is dead if you're not Jade Falcon or Steiner and - rookie that I am - I signed a contract with Davion. There's only one battle going on at any one time, involving one of said factions. What happens if I join a battle of another faction? Is my contract broken? Is there a cost associated with it?

Unless you cancel your contract and sign a new one with a different faction (or take the loyalist route) no costs are involved.
You can always support other factions (which are not hostile or at war with your faction) by joining defense missions.
I admit the UI is a bit.. well, let's just say "confusing".
The gamemodes (invasion, counter-attack, scouting) are briefly explained on this website (http://mwomercs.com/game/modes)
There is also a indeep introduction rather well hidden in the forums, it should be placed more visible, i agree with that.
You can find it here (http://mwomercs.com/...-1465-19apr2016)
It's worth mentioning that Faction Play will very likely undergo some important changes rather soon, so adressing the current mechanics will probably be outdated soon.
A lot of explanation is community driven. Regarding Faction Play, i would highly recommend you check out this well made guide by
*Made a mistake, the Faction Play guide i mentioned was written by Kanajashi and not by Kin3ticK. Although, you should take a look at Kin3ticK's guide as well (https://docs.google....d.g263f6502b_00).
