For sure not all the info is out yet but quite likely there's already more available than I know. Ok, let's go: In EntropiaTimes Dec 2010 Ed said: "The players will have 5 initial factions to start with." Who are those 5 factions? Imperium? Zekkonians? Turrelions? Acacia? And number 5? Or is not Imperium but Son of Remus? Or is it Imperium and Sons of Remus? Is it not Acacia in general but the Acacia Rebirths Corps in specific? Are the Zekkonians two factions: Tanhok and Zik? Or are the Tanhok one of those factions but the Zik just some kind of plague? Are the Merfolken also one of those factions? Still speaking just of those "5 initial factions to start with". Help!?! Tass (trying to update the Cyrene wiki page)
May I suggest that you read my "Cyrene - Secrets and Covert Operations" article in the June issue of the EntropiaTimes, because more of the Cyrene storyline is revealed, as well as information about the Imperium, Sons of Remus, Torrelions, ARC (Acacia Rebirth Corps), Zekkonians, etc. Maybe you'll find some answers there, and then we can move forward from that point. Also, the June issue which is focused on Cyrene offers up a lot of content submitted by Ed and his team, so maybe that will help as well with what you might be looking for - that's if you haven't checked already. :) I'm not sure exactly what the 5 factions are, and perhaps Ed would be the one to clarify that information.
LOL ya know, I totally forgot to finish reading that issue!! :redcarded: to me!! I guess I will go and finish it now!! :D
Who are those 5 factions? Zekkonian tribe Tanhok, Turrelions, Imperium (on Senator Neffs side), ARC, and the 5th one has to do with a new storyline that is yet to be revealed, but the leaders name has been mentioned in MS9's Storyline. She is known as Vida but you will have to wait to find out more on that as we get closer to the the release. Or is not Imperium but Son of Remus? Or is it Imperium and Sons of Remus? The Sons of Remus are a group within the Imperium who now runs it. It was started recently (in current game timeline by Will Winters). Is it not Acacia in general but the Acacia Rebirths Corps in specific? It's ARC which is short for Acacia Rebirth Corps. Are the Zekkonians two factions: Tanhok and Zik? Or are the Tanhok one of those factions but the Zik just some kind of plague? The Zeks have many Factions and tribes. The Tanhok are the most friendly to humans and also the most advanced. Are the Merfolken also one of those factions? NO, they are currently fighting with the Tanhok tribe. Hope this helps Tass and thank you for all the hard work.
Wasn't Vida a scientist on the skylab? So that would be the 5th faction the scientific research faction but hang on what's this about a new storyline for Vida!! the plot thickens. Quite intriguing allready ...
. You are correct ... Vida is an R&D scientist at the Cyrene Skylabs as mentioned in my first MS9/Senator adventure (Cyrene - Secrets and Covert Operations, EntropiaTimes June issue, beginning on page 10), and yes ... the plot is about to thicken! :D . Thanks Ed, for claifying the 5 factions - I'm sure the ensuing charts will categorize everything brilliantly. I know that Tass and RAZER have been hard-working EP Wiki Wookies with getting the Cyrene wiki site more complete, but perhaps others in the community will now take time to add to it as well. AlphaGeek always seems to be on top of things, so maybe we'll see something coming from his camp too. :)
Thank you Ed. For all the info we get, all the interaction and Cyrene. Draft Factions Chart based on what is know so far: http://www.entropiaplanets.com/wiki/Planet_Cyrene#Factions_Overview
