Planetside word een MMOFPS (Massive Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter) die zich afspeeld in de toekomst.

Het verhaal is vrij kort: mensen komen aan op planeet via zwart gat, zwart gat gaat dicht. Mensen zitten vast en 3 groeperingen vormen zich.

De 3 groeperingen:

Terran Republic

Mightier than any nation, wiser than any government, stronger than any religion, the Terran Republic is

a monument to the values and spirit of the Terran with a long history of achievements too numerous to list.

Unquestionably, its greatest success is the more than one thousand years of peace enjoyed under its governance.

The Terran Republic was officially established with the ratification of the Declaration of Constancy 1,112

years ago by nations weary of nearly two hundred years of war. It put in place the mechanisms that would

provide for the needs of the world's citizens and sustain a vigilant suppression of lawlessness. The Terran

Republic vanquished anarchy and brought chaos to heel. Man moved into an unprecedented period of peace,

innovation and expansion.

Vanu Sovereignty

The destiny of the human species tilts toward ruin. Thousands of years of shortsightedness and

provincial thinking have hampered its proper evolution. We plunge toward oblivion.

The human species has received the gift of its future: The Vanu technology. The Vanu race transcended its

mortality and touched the white-hot light of destiny. This is the path of humanity. The Vanu knowledge will

deliver us from ignorance. We must not allow its squandering.

Those able to comprehend the promise and potential of humanity will advance. They will usher the less gifted

through the gateway of understanding and cleanse from the species the taint of blindness, ignorance and

mulishness.

We are the shepherds of evolution, the harbingers of progress. We lead toward the light.

New Conglomerate

The most precious things we as human beings can possess are our freedoms and our future. For a thousand

years humanity has languished. We no longer improve ourselves as a people; we stagnate under archaic rule that

has outstayed any semblance of usefulness or purpose. And for a thousand years we've been denied the freedoms

that define us as individuals. There hasn't been anything free since the tyrants of the Terran Republic took

over. They hijacked the whole human race, locked it up in a tower of stone and steel, and fed it only

breadcrumbs for a millennium.

They'll tell you how great the Terran Republic is; they won't shut up about the thousand years of the "Eternal

Empire" and how it's the biggest human achievement since we chiseled the first wheel. And people believe it,

now. There might have been a time eons ago when humanity wouldn't have stood for the censorship and the

stifling policing of life that goes on today. But the Republic put one over on us all in a slow fashion, so we

didn't know what was going on until it was too late. It's kind of like that old story about the frog in a pot

of water: Heat it up slow and the fool won't jump out. Before he knows it, he's dead.
