The actual setting is much more nuanced than what you’re getting from the trailers.
The UEE (the guys you’re signing up with) was, until quite recently, fully the villains of the setting. A fascist dictatorship under the rule of generations of mad emperors. We straight up invaded and genocided other species.
The present day of Star Citizen is exploring what that world looks like after the revolution that restores democracy but ultimately fails to truly address the rot that created that dictatorship in the first place. The “democratic” UEE still has serious problems with alien rights, kowtows to corporate power, and is in a constant internal push-pull over security vs freedom.
Literally one of the main reasons to join the military is to earn full citizenship, a la Starship Troopers.
I’m not sure that makes me feel better about the game - it sounds like playing a role in a Hegseth wet dream - but I do appreciate the additional context, thank you!
