Well, it started. The weird thing is that the game hasn't even come out.. Right now, people seem to be associating stereotypes about other groups. We all seem to be taking turns dissing each other's empires.

NC is full of treehuggers
TR has old people
Vanus are x-file geeks

It's all from what we know of the back story so far....

TR are loyal to the Old Republic, and just want to keep on doing things the way they have always been done.

NC think that the Old Republic needs reforms, and should stop plundering other planets for their resources (tree hugging environmentalists)

VA are running around looking for Alien Technology to power their tin foil hats, or to get them back to the Mothership. Basically their the guys in the Bubble Wrap suits from "Dude Where's My Car?"

I think it's pretty funny myself.

War is 773H!


I think alot of folks are just trying to get a bit of rivalry going so when we do enter the game, the desire to do harm to the enemy will be full-on instead of "waiting until we know what we're talkin about". Its just human nature to create 'healthy competition'.

For now, I think its pretty harmless. Once the game begins, I think you're gonna see alot of folk rethinking their positions on factions/weapons/loyalties.

personally, I've yet to decide 'tree hugger' or 'old people'.

but I aint dressing in purple and goin' into combat...thats all there is to it.

So whats the most complete picture of the backstory so far?

is the old republic evil or something?
tyrannical?
how did they end up on this planet?
stuff like that

From what I gather.......

The Terran Republic runs the known Galaxy, and set's up Mining Operations on other planets to get the resources they need back on Earth. They are the ones that settled the planet.

As in any good SiFi story, the worm hole they used to go back and forth from there to earth colapsed, and they were cut off from the rest of the republic.

Once the worm hole colapsed, and everyone was cut off from Earth a certian element on the planet began to fear that they were now Marroned, and that the Republic would not be able to reopen the worm hole and recue them.

They wanted to rethink the way things were being done on the planet, so that there would still be a planet in the future (insert any environmentalist retoric you have heard here).

Others were loyal to the Republic, and had faith that the worm hole would be reopened, and that things should go on "Business as Usual"

At some point their dissagreements turned violent, and the environmental faction broce off to become the NC.

Enter the Vanu.....

On this planet was disscover the remains of an advanced Alien civalization. Some felt that this new Technology should be persued, and developed. I'm not sure why the TR, or NC didn't want to persue the futuristic weapons that had been disscovered, but I suspect it's because the power hungry scum that found them broke off and formed their own empire while the TR & NC were arguing about the environment.

So that's what I know of the back story so far.

For now, I think its pretty harmless. Once the game begins, I think you're gonna see alot of folk rethinking their positions on factions/weapons/loyalties.

Maybe YOUR empire suffers from dessertion and the such, but then, its little things like that which will leave you open to conquest by the Force that is the Vanu. Oh, and my outlook on the empires as i see them:

TR: These guys have a great milatary with strong leadership, good organazation, and outdated weapons and tactics. The fact that most of it is political leaves them with sevral power hungry dictators trying each trying to control the Genrals, who also each have their own agenda. Enter the fact that the Rebublics council back on earth no longer directs them, they will hold togeather i think, but there will be cracks.

NC: hippies.

VS: We have found the tecnology of a long dead race. We have found how to use this technology. Seeing the corruption in the TR, what with the rebelion and all, we knew we could not stay with them, but ourselves, common civilians with a love for this new tecnology, would not join a bunch of hippies out to keep the trees happy. We built an army and now we shall conquare. And when that worm hole reopens we shall be waiting.

Crazy Vanu need to learn how to spell first Tobias. You uncouth savages should not be wielding advanced weapondry, it's like putting a rocket in the hands of a child. You may understand how to use the weapon, but you will only use it to gain more power. For what other reason do you have to "conquare" the world.

Please people, have faith. The wormhole will be reopened in due time. Then, NC and Vanu alike will feel the awesome might of the Republic which they feel is corrupt and unjust.

You have no chance to understand, make your time. ha ha. ha ha.

Incompetent
2002-11-26, 07:49 AM
Take heart, you of the NC and Vanu, the republic is not cruel, your deaths will be quick and painless, orbital bombardment is in fact, one of the least painful ways to die.

On a serious note, i think all this rivalry come from the fact that everyone here, basically, wants to kill eachother.

Tobias
2002-11-26, 09:37 AM
So...i cant spell big woopie. And we await the opening of the worm hole, for then we shall use this new tecnology to crush the TR and conqure their empire, showing all of Humanity the power of the Vanu. Of course if our experments prove to have the potential they seem to now, we wont need to wait for the TR to open the worm hole...at any rate we shall show the TR true power.

Of course even then they will be blind to it. Please, contunie to squabble amongst yourselves.

apparently noone has informed you pitiful Vanu that once our beloved republic reopens the wormhole, you'll be down a couple billion.

Once you get used to having sex whenever you want you will realize that you don't need to obsess about it. Grow up and stop showing how inexperienced you are.

I can still feel your resentment at missing your high school prom just to get past level20 on pac man. and as far as getting laid Lex, I've been in more poon then you could ever lie about bro. But honestly guys, I was totaly joking around. I thought you guys wouldn't take it to heart and you did. Sorry guys and i relize that having loyalties to your empire is going to be central to rivalries starting . Ic an't wait for this game to come out and to play with you all. and YEs LEX i was joking about you living in your moms basement.

Tobias
2002-11-27, 06:56 PM
1) I just have to throw this in before more propogond-- err facts about the Vanu.
People who think the point of life is to "get laid" think that because they never have been, or only have been once, and that was when they, and the person they "laid" were both at a party, drunk, and they dont remeber any of it except that it was cool and they want to to it again, many times. Getting giggy is a small part of life, the best part, but a small part. Unless your a hooker. Now onto the Vanu.

By the Time the wormhole opens we will have crushed the TR and NC. The TR on the outside will have us outnumber bout 1 billion to one, but we have matricxing tech, they dont, so we cant die, they can. We can teleport, they cant, we have lasers and weapons greater then they know, and hover buggs that look bad ass. They have pickups and machine guns. Who do you really think is gonna win. Oh and we are in the process of turning ourselves into Gods.

Incompetent
2002-11-27, 07:00 PM
We can blow you up from orbit, it doesn't matter how much cool shit you can field on the ground. And i think you need to consider volume of fire here. Sure when a loyal terran soldier dies he doesn;t come back, but your base will be overrun with the sheer number of them. Then they will have rebirthing technology.

Tobias
2002-11-27, 07:05 PM
What makes you think you will get near the world? We will have our fleet up and running by then, with the power to wipe out anything you throw at us. Can you say beam bannon, and as for your ships weaposn we have energy matrixs we are working on that should protect us if the experments go right, if only petri had not gone mad we would be done....but thats not important, the TR will fall, for We are the Vanu, we are Gods!


(if only our hot Vanu girls would stop going out with those outlaw biker NC guys just cause they sell drugs and come back to us!)

Incompetent
2002-11-27, 07:08 PM
what makes you think you have enough raw material to build a fleet, i would imagine that much of the material suitable for ship construction was used up the original Vanu

Tobias
2002-11-27, 07:14 PM
Wrong. How little the TR knows. We can synthesis any material we need by remaking the very atoms of say, dirt, into those of iron, we made the crystal foci for our laser weapons for instance out of coal, just realigned the carbon atoms to make the coal
into diamonds. It�s amazing what we can do and the TR cant. We might just build out fleet from the ruined hulk of your capital city here on Aurxius.

Incompetent
2002-11-27, 07:18 PM
You'll probably destroy yourselves in the process. You do not understand any of the technology you possess, but you constantly experiment with it.

Tobias
2002-11-27, 07:21 PM
We understand more then you know terran.
And though experimentation comes innovation and understanding. Of course an empire that has been unchanged in 1000 years wouldn�t know about change.

Incompetent
2002-11-27, 07:22 PM
WE CHANGED, we outlawed torture 100 years ago, maybe you should think of doing that yourselves.

p.s. this was more of a joke then defense/counter, i couldn't resist

Tobias
2002-11-27, 07:28 PM
Outlawed torture? So those pain educing devices combined with sense enhancing drugs to extract the confessions were not torture, but merely an acceptable interrogation tool? Mutilating scientists whose only crime was the pursuit of knowledge was only to "teach them a lesson" I suppose. No torture in the last 100 years eh?

Incompetent
2002-11-27, 07:32 PM
Scientists whose only crime was endangering existence, they deservered to be tortured, but were given a clean death as the law demands. What about the captured soldiers and the "volunteers" you experiment on, if i asked them, do you really think they would sing your praises for the pain, deformity and death you brought upon them.

Tobias
2002-11-27, 07:37 PM
They are Vanu now, and if you ask them they would tell you how much better this existence is. Unfortunately they for the most part were all so thrilled to be enlightened that they requested tasks that have taken them...far away, and can not be spoken to right now. Experimentation only took place on willing volunteers, and we know of no captured soldiers. And there is was torture of scientists, we have long memories, and if you are foolish enough to believe your own lies so be it.

In all reality, NC is more of the militia movement. Hippies were for peace and the enviroment, the NC is for individual freedom and BFGs.

I think Tobias and Incompetent should STFU!!! You two only talk about the deaths of Vanus and TR and argue who would win!!! You two disregard the New Conglomerate!! Well you are all being outnumbered according to the poll taken at Station!!! You will be crushed! AS SOON AS WE HIPPIES ARE DONE SMOKING OUR POT, WE WILL SMOKE YOU UP (and steal the hot vanu chicks, because we weren't dumb enough to chop our dicks off)!!!!!!!!!!!!! The wormhole WILL NOT OPEN!!! That would take a few thousand years and by then, the NC would own the local galaxy there! SO HA!!!! Vanu weapons suck, because they need Duracel! TR weapons are OLD!!! We have the Jackhammer and the pistol shotgun! YOU AREN'T MAKING IT OUT ALIVE!!!

(The thing about the hippies was sarcastic, we are rebels, and hippies preserved peace, not blast old peoples heads off)

If you want a world with no individualism, look no further then the Vanu, the seek to destroy individualism in all its forms to establish a hive mind, and those new space toys, they have the potential to destroy the universe if someone hits the wrong button. The Terran Republic wishes order to prevent anarchy and to keep the peace, the Vanu seek only to establish power. So you tell me rebel, who is the bigger danger to your individuality, the one who will assimilate yo into a hive mind, or the one who merely takes steps to ensure that no one ends up dying on a street corner because someone wanted a new watch.
