I share Aurvandil's sense of honor. I live by it. I chose Terran, honestly, because they seemed slower and more gradual. At the time I was looking for a nation in peace just to learn the ropes. I specifically researched every nation of interest and ruled out all those currently at war because I wanted to play peacefully until I knew what I was doing...
That obviously didn't go according to plan, what with me being a soldier, then Vice-Marshal, then Marshal, then Senator, and soon - more.
Nothing ever works out the way we plan... Thankfully. What a boring place this would be, eh?
