Faction Update: Faction 2 Name And Leader

Creating a universe is hard. Naming the stuff we’ve put in it is a challenge, too.

After a couple of weeks, hundreds of posts, four polls, some head-scratching, and oodles of spirited discussions, we’ve finally settled on what we’ll call the second faction and its leader. We’ve also nailed down the symbol. Thanks for all the support and effort — your help makes this universe as much yours as it is ours.

The second faction name is … The Foundation. If you’ve been following this process, you’ve no doubt noticed that we ended up running multiple polls filled with possible names. We wanted to make sure that we gave everyone a voice and that we offered the best options. Considering how resoundingly The Foundation won, we’re guessing we put up a name that most of us can agree is awesome.

The Foundation’s leader’s name is … Inquisitor Nemicus. That’s a combination of two names people in our exclusive backer’s message board liked, and we thought it was a fitting name overall. Nemicus has the feel we were looking for.



Nemicus is a Raptor Commander. Bi-pedal, animal-like, and powerful, we think the Raptor Commander represents the intensity that Nemicus brings to the table. Steve Thompson really brings out the personality in the machine.

As for the symbol for The Foundation, we wanted to put something together that really brought out what this faction’s core philosophies are all about:



Again, thanks for the continued support. We’ll be revealing the third faction in just a couple of days. Here’s a little tease to hold you over:

Just going to say it now: the faction emblem looks like it's an old Nokia phone.

Holy icon representing indestructibility?

Wow. That's one epic symbol. Great job again Uber, I love how the factions are shaping up.

I JUST changed my wallpaper...and now this...sorry wallpaper..nemicus is getting priority here.

This is all epic, but...

...am I missing something, or we never got the same stuff tor the first faction?

Going to be pronouncing his name as "nemesis" from now on.

I think you need to go to Planetaryannihiliation.com and then news and scroll down to Faction update Faction 1

Like it.

I've had the same Nokia for 7 years in constant use. It's been submerged, thrown, screwdrivered, used as a carpentry tool, a door stop and on one occasion, dropped four storeys onto concrete. Those things are freaking tough.

they were made to survive! bow to the holy Nokia!

One day the machines will take over the world, and it will be a nokia!

Samsung make harder phones. I dropped mine on purpose to demonstrate that the thing wouldn't break... then after like 10 years it started to charge slowly.
Edit: don't take this too seriously of course.

It kind of looks like the head of the raptor commander is in a crucible. The power symbol and a few other ideas made their way in too.

Now I just need another symbol idea everyone agrees with for the 3rd and 4th factions.

Friend of mine was creating a logo for another game and when he asked me: "any more wishes?" I handed him The Foundations logo.
Well, here we go:

Wow, that's epic!

So? I know, lore is not the main part of the game, but last several days I find myself searching for update on this in my RSS reader.
