Choose between TEC, Advent, Vasari, Pirates, and Space Ponies.

I'm not sure if I really have one from a storyline point of view. I usually go with the TEC because they're the humans in the game, but they kicked a lot of people off of their homeplanet, for god's sakes! Just because they were 'deviants' doesn't mean they can just show up and do something like that. (And they still think that was the best thing to do? Looks like we're never gonna get civilized ( ) The Advent, though... you'd think after like 1000 years people would learn to forgive people's ancestors for their stupidity. I'm not entirely sure what they're doing is justified. And the Vasari... are slavers.

With gameplay, on the other hand, I like everybody. Except pirates. I like their bases though, and the bonus to tax rate you get. Mmm... boooooty.... (drools)
