Review: PlanetSide - Div Devlin (08-25-03)

Background:

"In existence for over a thousand years, the 'Terran Republic' is the sole governing body with an intergalactic reign which maintains absolute authority until an expeditionary force is sent through a wormhole to colonize a newly discovered world named 'Auraxis.' To expedite the colonization, three main bases are established on the planets surface, with numerous outposts following across the continents, when remnants of an alien race are discovered known as the 'Vanu.' No traces of the Vanu fate were found, but elements of their technology is, most notably 'rebirthing tubes.'
[p]
Mixing the Vanu technology with Human technology, humans learn how to store their genetic patterns allowing them to come back to life whenever someone dies. When the wormhole that brought the colonists to Auraxis collapses, the Terran Republic becomes stranded from the main empire. Tensions grow between the three main bases until they escalate and divide into three Empires. The Terran Republic and two new ones - the New Conglomerate and the Vanu Sovereignty who each engage themselves in a world- war for control of the planet in a war without permanent death on the PlanetSide."
