I'm curious to see how members of the community feels about their faction's agendas. Is there an even breakdown of reasons for why people joined their faction, or do some factions skew more towards true believers than others?
I, for one, am very loyal to the VS because I believe that the TR are monsters and that the NC, while well meaning, are directionless. I believe the VS are to correct option. Others, however, pick their faction based on their favorite guns/vehicles/color scheme. Which are you?

The TR is a military dictatorship... boooooh! The NC is an imperialistic, capitalistic driven bunch of rednecks, deluded into thinking they're fighting for "freedom". The VS are the only ones that want true progress for the human race... for our societies, as well as our biological, evolution. ^^
Yay, VS!

I'm TR, but if I was support an agenda it would probably be the VS agenda, because there's obviously some instability and discontent within the Republic - which is why it's a police state. Which, in a war-game, totally appeals to me. They look a little goofy, but unbelievably badass at the same time. They also have this 'order at all cost'-dystopian feel to them.
That said, I might end up on either of the three factions in the end, since gameplay is what matters the most to me. |

NC because we are the rebels and the bandits mixed in with some idealists but we are mostly outlaws who have disdain for authority.
The Vanu are religious zealots and geeks. and the TR are Tyrants. Simply put TR are storm troopers Vanu are Trekies and the NC are the rebels/ smugglers /sarcasm |

I'd have picked both for TR. The rebels are little more than pissed off people that demand things without being reasonable about it. They also sold their souls to the highest bidder.
As a result, refer to sig. The VS I feel less animosity towards. They'd probably would have been left alone had they decided not to follow a dead guy's voice and join the fight. |

On the front end, I'll admit that I'm a TR fan. Why? Maybe because I picked them first many years ago... or maybe (probably) it's something else. Something that makes them feel real, make sense.
I'll try to step away from that bias, however, and for a moment put on my political scientist shoes. The TR make sense for a million reasons. They are the power, they have a historically justified purpose and therefore have legitimacy in the new world. It's an era of hegemonic transition; new powers have arisen and conflict is written into the human character. It can happen peacefully, but that's extremely rare (see: British dominance to American dominance following WWII). The old powers don't tend to peacefully back down from rising threats. The TR is no different. It was the rightful and peaceful ruler for so long, why tolerate change now? The NC make sense for several reasons, although they vary WILDLY. Some are truly freedom fighters, and that idea makes sense. Some are mercenaries, and that makes a lot of sense too. But at the end of the day, they are funded by and serve the interests of corporations... and that's kind of okay. It's just a place where a business conglomerate has equal power to a government (which happens today! see China v. Google as an example) and their interests are close enough to the people to justify a mutual relationship. Technically corporate puppets? Sure, maybe. But they can at least justify the relationship. The VS... here's where I struggle to understand the political purpose and motivation. None of it quite flows together. How does a sizable portion of the population buy into visions of a dead society/god and cling to that instead of the TR or NC? What makes them different, and perhaps more importantly what did this group see that didn't make at least SOME sense to the rest of the population? And why exactly do these people throw themselves into harm's way constantly? They're interesting, but it needs a lot more backstory and fleshing out to make sense. Anyways... go TR!
