Empire
Empire refers to the 3 factions that are at war for control of Auraxis.
The three Empires are:
- The Terran Republic
- The Vanu Sovereignty
- The New Conglomerate
Every player is allowed to choose their Empire when creating a new character. They are free to pick based upon any criteria they see fit, including backstory, colors, weapons, population, or even random choice.
Current rules allow a player to have characters from any of the three Empires. A player can only swap between these three empires once every 12 hours.
Black Ops are sometimes considered a 4th empire, as they can hack bases and are enemies of the other 3 empires. However, Black Ops still carry many of the characteristics of the empire that they left, and are not technically an empire.
