Volume 2 - Chapter 28 - Build Reworks I [Next Chapter: June 24th; Info in AN]
| ‘You can learn more about a Faction not through their slogans or speeches, but through what they choose to immortalize in their Faction Trait. The Stellar Republic created a Trait solely to produce disposable duplicates—replicas meant for slaughter, thrown into the meat grinder of every Battlefield across the galaxy with no regard for continuity, memory, or meaning. That tells you everything. To them, a human life is a resource to be spent. A unit on a board. Something replaceable. The UHF, for all of our own pursuit of efficiency and sacrifices, is defined by a different truth: We build to last. We endure, we conserve, we refine. We do not throw our people away like spent tools. A Faction Trait is not just a mechanical bonus the System provides to create more conflict. It is the crystallized belief of an entire people. And in the Republic’s case, that belief is clear: Their leadership does not see people, only expendable bodies in the ceaseless pursuit of victory…’ - Marshal Vel ‘Listbreaker’ Maron, 933 PFC, “The Pursuit of Victory”
