“We actually wish to just be sure you can play by means of all of the faction traces independently of one another… We actually need the tales to be just a little extra private, proper? You’re influencing the course of the place this faction goes to go.”
We’ve already had some details about the sport’s differing factions, such because the United Colonies, Ryujin Industries, the Freestar Collective, Home Va’Ruun and the Crimson Fleet.
