      Following on from the thread on faction text for the website (https://forum.faforever.com/topic/5469/factions-text-for-web-site-need-suggestions) I thought it worth having agreement on text to use for now (that could always then be refined for the various points that were discussed).

      I'll paste the various suggested website text from the previous discussions below, and the idea is simple - upvote those that you think are ok (you can vote for one or more than one), with the idea being that after a period of time (say a week from this post) the top voted text could hopefully be used for the website text.

      Please only post here with proposed faction text for the website (i.e. if you have an alternative to any of the ones already noted below that you'd also like to be considered). If you'd like to discuss this text or particular points, please use the existing thread (https://forum.faforever.com/topic/5469/factions-text-for-web-site-need-suggestions), while for more general discussions on the new website refer to the separate thread for this:

        UEF
        Chunky mechs and tanks, jets and all the other classic war toys. For those that love vanilla-warfare.
        Cybran
        Stealthy and fast spiderbots, walking ships and pointy structures. You like being the edgy guy with spikes.
        Aeon
        Floating alien tanks, shields on everything and space donuts. You want to sweat microing your units.
        Seraphim
        Chicken ACU, chicken assault bots and chicken experimental. You want a balanced army of chickens.

          UEF
          The United Earth Federation is a powerful human faction aiming to unify a splintered empire through conventional weapons. They pack a powerful punch when it comes to damaging structures with their artillery, supported by satellites. Or defending outposts with their unique Tier 3 rotating Gatling gun as point defense.
          Cybran
          Cybran units are often insect-like in appearance. They use laser, stealth and cloaking technology more than any other faction. Their stealth bombers are powerful and if their naval has killed everything on sea, some ships can simply walk on land to carry out even more destruction.
          Aeon
          Humans who follow the philosophy of the aliens. Their experimental unit Paragon can generate nearly limitless resources, but if it explodes it causes a nuclear strike. They use hover technology and can nullify shields or use guided missiles which are fragile, but do very high damage on impact.
          Seraphim
          Religious aliens who came with superior technologies to cleanse the galaxy. They have multipurpose units, the strongest shields and a gigantic experimental Bomber. The experimental building Yolona Oss creates the most damaging and devastating strategic missiles ever seen.

            Cybran - Liberate the galaxy with ambushes and trickery
            Aeon - Cleanse the galaxy with highly specialised units each excelling at a particular role
            Seraphim - Annihilate the galaxy with smaller numbers of advanced technological units

              UEF
              Order: The United Earth Federation is the successor to the empire that once controlled the galaxy. The UEF imposes its authority with durable armies designed to control territory.
              Cybran
              Freedom: The Cybran Nation began as a cyborg conspiracy to liberate workers enslaved by the Earth Empire. Because it began as a resistance movement using hit-and-run tactics, its armies are fast, stealthy, and versatile.
              Aeon
              Purity: The Aeon Illuminate is a religious order based on devotion and sacrifice. Followers of "The Way" are zealous and single-minded missionaries. Aeon units tend to excel at only one single purpose.
              Seraphim
              Revenge: The Seraphim are alien invaders from another dimension. Seeking revenge for a bio-weapon attack by the Earth Empire, and fearing humanity's genocidal intentions, Seraphim weapons create overwhelming destruction.
