After that you take command of any race you want, Aeon Illuminate, UEF, or the Cybran. but what is the game missing that disappoints the average SupCom fan? The story starts you off after the events of Forged Alliance-thirty or so years of peace then the president of the union gets shot.
Remember the first SupCom? Remember how big and massive the game used to be? Gargantuan battles that made a difference, air fights with fleets the size of Washington to Chicago, and maps that dwarfed any strategy game to date? Well, the sequel gets all that in spades.
