Back to Factions.

The Academy
The Academy
Ideology Cooperate
Description Led by members of Earth's scientific community, this faction has concluded that any species able to cross the stars must have moved beyond violence as a mechanism to resolve conflict. They assert that humanity must work to build a bridge to ensure the aliens treat us as equals.
Goal Convince the aliens that we are equals
Ideological Position
(Important for Missions and Public Opinion.)

Faction features

Starts with space station.

Crisis on researching Deep System Skywatch.

Can talk to aliens, but unlike actual pro-alien factions, doesn't particularly benefit from it.

Can't use most criminal orgs

Strict requirements before victory.

Interaction with Other Factions

Factions with Similar Ideology

The Academy shares some similarities with The Protectorate. Both want to work with the aliens in some capacity while preserving human autonomy. The important difference between The Academy and The Protectorate is that The Academy seeks cooperation with the aliens on an equal footing, whereas The Protectorate believes that equality is untenable and a negotiated surrender is the only way. Furthermore, the appeasement efforts of The Protectorate would inevitably undermine The Academy's goal of convincing the aliens that humanity is worthy of being their equals.

Factions with Conflicting Ideology

The Academy is naturally opposed to Humanity First, a faction that seeks to wipe out the aliens along with the humans who work with them.

Although both The Academy and The Servants are broadly pro-alien factions, The Academy is not naturally allied with The Servants: The Academy is guided by scientific reason whereas The Servants are motivated by religious devotion. Further, The Servants are far more pro-alien than The Academy is.
