Vanu Sovereignty

Many call them fanatics. Brainwashed cultists. But they are pursuers of truth. Pursuers of wisdom. Vanu is the name for a long-extinct alien race that has left many artifacts and technologies on Auraxis before humans came. Sovereignty is a coalition of bright minds, scientists, and sympathizers, who broke away from Republic’s ignorance, to not allow the latter to destroy the technology they deemed “dangerous for humanity”, whilst in reality, they thought cared only for maintaining their fragile government. While Terrans fight with its rebels, Vanu seeks to spread the wisdom of those who have progressed far beyond human comprehension, and once and for all prove that technology is might. Adapt or die, and staying ignorant - is the opposite of adaptation, and thus being, only those wise enough to learn from their superiors will be enlightened, and achieve new reaches! And while you enlighten others on the righteous path of progress, you may listen to technological dubstep music!

Firearms:

The firing rate is in between Republic’s fast shooting guns, and Conglomerate’s hard but slow hitting guns. Vanu relies on precision, hence why their weapons stand out not due to their fire rate or damage, but due to their accuracy, both hip and sights aim. Vanu weapons also have much quicker reloads in general, and it becomes noticeable and even life-saving in close-quarters combat. Worth mentioning is also that Vanu weapons do not have bullet ballistics as other Empires do, but they suffer more damage degrading over distance than others, so be aware of the distance you’re shooting at!

Vehicles:

• ​Aircraft: Vanu’s Scythe is the most agile fighter out there. Why? Because it has the fastest lateral movement speed. It can circle the enemy easily, keeping its aim on a single target and shooting at it until it’s done for good. It is not as fast as Mosquito and not as protected as Reaver, but in a dog fight, agility matters more, thus Scythe is considered the best dogfighter amongst the players. It can be equipped with air-to-ground and air-to-air weapons, or a mix of them, or one weapon only and additional fuel tanks that will increase the ship’s speed or afterburn capacity. Its hitbox is fairly small, and fairly large, a golden middle between TR Mosquito and NC Reaver

• Ground vehicle: Magrider is considered an ATV. Why? Because it’s a hover vehicle, thus it can hover over the vast majority of the terrain, which is unable to other tanks that still ride on tracks. Its disadvantage is that the cannon is attached to the front part of the tank’s hull, thus to rotate the gun horizontally, the driver must rotate the whole hull with it. Its special ability is the so-called “Magburn”, a short nitro boost, if you may. It has a long recharge, but sometimes it’s very useful to quickly drive away from a line of fire. Can be equipped with anti-personnel cannon (more damage to infantry, less to armored units), anti-armor cannon (vice versa), and a cannon that has medium damage to both.

Strengths:

• Weapon accuracy. Quicker reloads. No bullet ballistics. More agile vehicles. Hover tank.

Weaknesses:

• More damage degradation over distance. Mediocre weapon damage and rate of fire.

Why Vanu Sovereignty?

If you love dubstep when playing FPS games, you’ll definitely love Vanu Sovereignty then. Additionally, you may find this faction being quite a good competitor to TR in close quarters combat, due to quick reloads and the fact that VS weapons besides bolt action rifles have even less damage than TR if the distance is too great. If you want to shoot blasters, fight for technological superiority and have a fresh experience driving VS unique vehicles - then feel free to enlist!
