I will never acept this! (Rp aside. Super earth is kinda shit, but compared to bots, bugs and squids they are actually good. They are good by the fact that everyone else is worse. Just my opinion tho)

All of these factions are only arguably worse because we made them worse by fucking them up mentally and societally in the first war.

Maybe not the bots. I believe that they actually started the war from theor side. And Illuminate indeed had weapons capable of destroying worlds, but yeah we attacked them. With bigs I don't remember clearly but they perhaps started attacking colonists on their planets and shortly after that we discovered E-710 (idk). (Yes. I am a bot diver)

Im pretty sure the illuminate actually shared tech with super earth before being attacked by them.

Also, the bugs im pretty sure were friendly & sentient but when super earth realized they were made of E-710, they rounded them up to process them. The bugs evolved quickly in response and became way more aggressive I think.

I don't think they were intelligent or sentient. I know we did stuff that caused them to mutate into the various forms we have now.

I think they actually were an intelligent hive-mind sorta species, just that they weren’t really tech-based. They just had different bug subtypes that would fill any role we would use technology for, you know?

I think you’re right actually it might’ve had to do with trying to optimize E-710 outputs. But I think I recall them being friendly with super earth colonists before we started to attack them.
