Lore-wise, None of the above. New Monarchy wants to install a dictator...Yeah, not going to work out well because power corrupts! The rest of NM is fine, except for the sole dictator... Dead Orbit wants to run away. They have the best ships, and arguably the best scout rifle, but their whole M.O. is to get off Earth and flee the Darkness. Now how I want my video game characters to act even though it's probably the most logical. Future War Cult. Best weapon inventory over all, and armor stats for me, though the garish colors are a bit of a turn off... They are focused too much on time jumping and looking for the future. They need to fix what's happening now and get some stability. Honestly, it's got to be the Vanguard lore-wise. Protect the city, grow in power, and stay alive. It's very much in the now. Though the Vanguard only deals with the defense of the city instead of the politics. I would love in the future to see how the politics of the game spread and fan out among the factions. We're still waiting for a clan war!
