What inspired me to make this this post is the real possibility of changing the backstory to foretell the future of PlanetSide's immediate and distance development. Also what encouraged me is the "missing pages" feeling of the Vanu's background.
Terran Republic [original]
Vanu Sovereignty [original]

I would say the Vanu rely on versatile weapons, as oppose to fast ones. But otherwise that's very well written. I didnt really every rate Sony's backstory, and I think if you weren't working from their material you could have come up with something even better.

I'm looking forward to seeing the changes and, hopefully, depth the PS2 story has over PS1 but your modifications seem pro New Conglomerate, anti Terran Republic, and portrays the Vanu Sovereignty as deluded, mindless obsessives. One of the important foundations of the PlanetSide story is that each empire is right according to its own beliefs and perspectives:
The TR sees itself as custodians of Auraxis and the others as threats to world security. The NC see themselves as freedom fighters and the others as oppressors. And the VS see the Vanu technology as the next stage in human development and the others as barriers to progress. It could of course be that the TR are oppressive tyrants, the NC are renegade terrorists, and the VS are freaks bent on world assimilation but the beauty is that the player gets to decide which side they agree with (if that is part of their decision making, they could just like the colour scheme ). Would also be cool if SOE had some radio broadcasts, CCTV footage, or news reports (a bit cliché) to fill out the backstory prior to release. |

I would also like more back story as to how the Terran Republic that governs Earth and her acquisitions was formed, what sort of conflicts brought it about, how it governs its peoples, what sort of problems its encountered in the known galaxy (other than PS).
Just some brief back story of the REAL TR that are still governing Earth somewhere would be nice to have. Also some info on the original Vanu aliens that once lived on Auraxis would be cool to read. |
