Just like in real life, the majority of the world isn't american... so you will always find plenty of people who are happy to play the bad guys. Thats why there are two whole factions of them haha!

Funny thing about America is we that have a healthy dose of all three empires. Totalitarian freedom loving religious nutjobs, the lot of us.

Now all we need is a purple political party, fuck that green shit.

The whole plot is OBVIOUSLY a parallel to the 18th Century. The NC are the Americans who succeeded from Britain's authoritarian regime. The VS are the French. lol

Hmm. If we are going with the VS being the French then you guys get rolled over. TR being the Nazis of course. Then the liberating NC come in and make everything perfect as the Americans.

Or we just make the TR the Russians and split the VS apart from their homeland

I thought the TR were the British getting backstabbed by the french VS who are secretly supporting the American NC revolution? I'm so confused.

Pardon the return to topic. I remember reading an interview with one of the Devs who said flat out that the TR are meant to be the villains. NC were warmongering hippies and the VS are just kinda hanging out trying to stop the destruction of alien tech. Though that makes us much more reasonable than I'd like us to be. I actually made an outfit based around being crazed religious fanatics. Heck it's still around and here's the proof http://myplanetside.station.sony.com...6292&worldId=3
The name's a bit of an in-joke though (no, it's not from C&C). Still, I welcome my faith poor brothers into the true fold! We will convert these heathens so that the pure Light of Knowledge may burn the darkness out of their unseeing eyes.

Now that I think about it our outfit may have had a bit too much of a fix on the more nut job aspect. I think I still have some of the Vanu-jesus pictures and the inspired text laid down by the prophet FStartA describing the end times, the return of Kain, and the deliverance of the Vanu from the hands of our enemies.

The VS are rebel scum who smell funny and want to ruin everything we have worked for. We will crush them in our iron fist and restore Order.

We are the New Conglomerate, the last hope for freedom on Auraxis. Nuff said, fetch my a beer!
The TR are a bunch of nazicommies who would sooner die than leave us be, so we gladly help them do just that any chance we get.
The VS are alienloving techno-religious nut jobs who want to brainwash and/or anal-probe us. We'll just keep shooting them in the face until they give up and leave us alone - i.e. forever.

We are the Vanu Sovereignty, the shining future of mankind. We labor day and night to bring that future to the present, and to share it with everyone.
The TR are relics of the past stuck in their way who don't appreciate what we are doing for them because they don't understand we have the same goals. We just do it better. They will see, once we have changed their way for them.
The NC are unsophisticated anarchists who fear and misunderstand us, but we will not give up. We will show them the light, through any means necessary. For their own good.

Me like!

You got the Terrans' view of the other empires mixed up a bit tho.

The NC are the ones who smell funny since they're a rag-tag bunch of inbred hillbilly wannabee commandos who never bathe, live in mud huts, and don't know the meaning of the terms "toilet" or "indoor plumbing".

The VS.... Well, we wear purple, so I could see where the oppressed and inflexible TR mind might mistake our superior fashion sense as "dressing funny." .

Oh, and you should probably work in the words "sub-human" and/or "Neanderthal" into the VS perception of the NC....

conglomerate (plural conglomerates)

A cluster of heterogeneous things.
(business) A corporation formed by the combination of several smaller corporations whose activities are unrelated to the corporation's primary activity.
(geology) A rock consisting of gravel or pebbles embedded in a matrix.

The NC are many things, such as rebels, terrorist, mercenaries, etc. We are not single minded.

For example... I seek universal power, and the NC provide the best platform for manipulation at my will. Due to being fractured and desiring of a new world.

The NC seek freedom. To others they create anarchy.
The TR seek stability. To others they create stagnation.
The VS seek religion. To others they create zealotry.

Switch "stagnation" for "oppression" and "religion" for "enlightenment". I doubt a bunch of crazy scientists embracing mysterious alien archeotech would be very religious purposely.

"ascension" or "understanding" would also be acceptable substitutes.
