    I could definitely see CIG moving out of the gaming industry with the Star Citizen universe and trying to push it into shows and movies

      They very easily could. I think Chris Roberts should collaborate with Ronald D. Moore or J. Michael Straczynski and make a show that has a similar look and feel as the reboot Battlestar Galactica or Babylon 5 series. I could imagine an entire series focused on the crew of a Javelin fighting a war against the Vanduul and criminal humans, or a prequel series set during the first or second Tevarin Wars.

    Fantastic and very telling lore video!
    The formation of the UNE and the eventual imperialism under the UEE...that right there is the nightmare scenario, imo. I think Pyro is the most realistic outcome of what life under such a government would be like in space. Also see the dystopian setting seen in The Expanse tv series and novels.

    As much as these videos do a good job of highlighting the vast amounts of SC lore that has been written, I really hope CIG starts adding lore "datapads" into the game that we can find and read our listen to during downtime.

    sooooo... to fight unification they unified in an anti-unification movement... did I get that right?
    also... the note at the end about Levski still being anti UEE has me 'worried' that we wont be able to trade there if we have any ties to the UEE goverment or any organizations/people directly affiliated with them... I still hope Levskis people will 'turn a blind eye' if you dont do business with any of the mentioned but with other people that might still live in UEE space...

    • @themanyouwanttobe
      @themanyouwanttobe 7 месяцев назад

      There should always be places where you can't do business due to it being impossible to have positive reputation with every competing faction.

    • @carno.5911
      @carno.5911 7 месяцев назад +1

      Being against one specific unification don't means you must be against the concept of being unified in/for something as a whole lol. They were likely convinced that it would be bound to become a dictatorship with absolute power, cuz of no democratic counterpart. & were kinda proven right like the video states at the end....🤷Anyways, i think the devs could avoide such trade restrictions with the explanation that they became unpopular, cuz they would denie trade with way to many people , if they are whinny about any minor tie even, like a bounty hunter contract.

  • @fishbaitx
    @fishbaitx 7 месяцев назад +1

    Oh. Violently antigovernment, theyre still around im sure and theyre gonna spark off a fourth one, then levski will emerge as the start of the other human faction. That isnt violently anti uee, but also just want to be part of it, a sort of best vengeance is living well faction.
    This would be a great way to large scale experiment with reputation based consequences for gameplay so i wonder if they're gonna do something like this then.

    The "lets all unify against unifying" position of the anti-unification movement always does my head in but at the same time its not hard to find current analogues... These stories are pretty fundamental to the idea of 'outlaws' within the contemporary Star Citizen verse so its great to have the background understanding.

    • @carno.5911
      @carno.5911 7 месяцев назад +1

      Well they are likely rather not against "unifying" as a concept in it's self, like real-life anti-globalists arent either, but rather against the prospect of a potential global dictatorship, to arise from a one-world government, which cuz of being this global force, would be without any democratic counterpart. As much as dictatorships use he existence of other countrys to make their folks belive that they are needed in order to protect them, they are also prohibited by them from doing all they want to their folks. Cuz democratic governments could use their tyrany as a justification to attack, or blokade trade with them. Like we saw with small dictatorships in the middle east. & well they are proven right in SC-lore, with the imperial age arc, in that writers made the ressistance force need the support of a alien government aka the xian, in order to overthrow the regime.
      So it's rather a "lets all unify against their fake unifying, thats just a disguise for a global dictatorship, or bound to become one anyways!" in their minds.
      SC-lore is quite unique in that it don't shys away from incorparating actuall downsides & upsides of the one-world government trope, or any trope actually. Most sci-fi seetings just shortly glance over it & state that the forming of a one-world government was the right step, in the direction of protection & organisation of a interstelar society, without getting ever deeper into the implications & effects.

      They unify to be independent. They would split after they won their freedom. It's not hard to understand

    • @wild_lee_coyote
      @wild_lee_coyote 7 месяцев назад +4

      If it is so unrealistic then you should do some historical research. Human history is full of people and countries that were trying to unify the world around them only to suffer from rebellions that paved the way for their downfall. Most of Star Citizens lore has analogs in our own history.

    • @Luredreier
      @Luredreier 7 месяцев назад

      ​​@@wild_lee_coyote Exactly, that's *why* the politics is unrealistic.
      It's unrealistic that all of these leaders would cede power to a unified government.
      It's unrealistic that there's a first past the post electoral system on a galactic scale and that's somehow being accepted by such a diverse population.
      It's unrealistic that there's a first past the post system and that it hasn't trended towards a two party system.
      It's unrealistic that the population of these nations went along with the end of nation states with *far* more of a fight then what's displayed in this video.
      This video shows the opposition to unification as just a relatively small movement of perhaps hundreds of thousands or a few millions.
      Such a unification would literally be opposed by billions, and such a war would be civilization destroying, not end with the opposition on the run in space ships, it would require a genocide of hundreds of millions at a minimum.
      I live in a country that has voted against a EU membership twice already, trust me, I'm fully aware of how strong decentralizating forces and the feeling of powerlessness when power becomes more distant can be.
