Dead Orbit

Which is the best and why. ( Not in terms of their armor rankings but in terms of each factions ideals for the city) Be sure to share this to everybody!

    Well, let's look scientifically. [b]New Monarchy[/b] is just a bad choice in general. Even if we beat the darkness and heal the Traveler, there's still centuries to go before another "Golden Age" can be founded. That's even assuming the Traveler stays with us (more on that later). That, and a monarchy sounds like a bad idea. [b]Future War Cult[/b] is arguably a good option. Though not much is known, it's assumed they're using a Vex-tech machine to go through timelines and/or see the future to shape it to their liking. The Exo Stranger is also assumed to have some kind of alliance or such with them. This is all speculation. Taking into the account of story, they arguably [i]could[/i] have the most impact on the story, [i]if[/i] we ever learn their motives. Heck! We don't even know why they're going through the timelines. It's all speculation and I have learned not to trust shady and nondescript people [quote]*cough cough* Speaker *cough*[/quote] Finally is [b]Dead Orbit[/b], and sue me if I'm biased. This goes back to the roots of the Traveler. The Traveler is known (Fallen, Hive, other unknown planets in Book of Worms) to up and abandon it's Golden-Age-ified planets when the Darkness comes. Rasputin was clever and stopped the Traveler from running by shutting down all defenses. This essentially forced the Traveler to stay and fight for it's own safety (some argue that Rasputin physically crippled the Traveler, but I doubt it). So, now that we've got that, who's to say the Traveler will stay with us when it wakes? It is weak and we are now militarized, so why stay? Dead Orbit has the right idea. For example, the Fallen had a very similar history to us. They had a unified golden age, and then split into [i]factions[/i] after their collapse. Sound familiar? And which Fallen houses survived the Darkness? The ones that ran to space, thus enabling their species to live. That's my say on the best faction. Edit: Holy crap! I was not expecting such positive feedback! I'd recommend looking at CommanderHawk8's reply, as it covers a few things I may have missed.
