Who do oyou think is the most evil human faction in aliens lore.

The reason I am not includeing non humans is cause if I did the answer would jsut be preds. Now feel to describe the diffrences of them in CM vs aliens.

I rank it like this.

WY- An autocratic mega corporation that regularly commits worker abuse and experimentation on innocents. Using the isolation of space they are able to keep thousands of workers in corporate towns with near total control over their lives. Although not fleshed out very well in CM the aliens lore gives us a good picture of what they like. Unlike the other factions the only motivating factor for their evil acts is greed. At no point does anyone benefit from their actions apart from a highly indirect increase in product availability. The only real benefit they give is the development of new tech but ummmmm everyone does so it kind of does not count.

UPP- They are just the USSR in space. But what sets them apart from WY is that they are based on principles. Sure they will control your life and kill you for stepping out of line. But these principles that motivate them can also lead to good things. These good things often come at a cost. Sure they saved your colony from xenos but now you have to suffer under their rule. Even if their idea of a post capitalist society has mostly lead to a worse life they are at least trying to help people. Sometimes they actually do.

UA- In aliens it’s just america in space. Most of you are from america so you know what that’s like. Although just as brutal as the UPP at least half the time they won’t kill or oppress you with force. But they have committed so many war crimes so much they caused the CLF. Plus WY have turned them in a borderline corporate state. But that’s more WY fault.

CLF- Since not much has been said about what they believe. Although we do have some info on the CM wiki. It seems they removed the part about a mostly peaceful worker revolt and the US bombing civilians. Again we have no info on why they are even fighting so for all we could know it was totally justified. Considering how marines act in game I can see it.

Aliens want to take your life, but UPP wants to take your FREEDOM and most importantly MONEY

UA- pay taxs or go to jail. Also the marines sort of blew up you’r house and stole you’r dog.

WY- work to death and then pay us with our money in exchange for air. Also we sort of put soem egg plasma in the water for science.

UPP- Pay taxs and be a communist. Also we shoot you’r landlord and drank all you’r beer.

the UA/USCM are known to bulldoze the corpses of dead rioters/strikers/CLF into mass graves, and then seed them with bacteria that rapidly decomposes them into sludge.

I think that’s uhm. Yeah that’s pretty bad.

It’s probably Weyland though they’re going woke

As a CL player, WY has never done anything bad in the history of ever.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s WY, UA/USCM, TWE, UPP, CLF.
WY is a corrupt corporation that commits every human rights violation under the sun. The United Americas is basically just the US if even more money was poured into the DoD and CIA. The Three World Empire ain’t bad themselves but are basically owned by corporations and can’t do anything. The UPP is still probably bad, but at least marginally less corporate-slave.

And the CLF are the good guys ooorah real CLF patriots

It is funny that CLF is being consideret terrorists by US, but CLF are just Americans (colonies who want freedom) where US are the British (imperial empire enforcing their rule by force and taxation without representation). tbh CLF is the best addition to lore GLORY TO CORRINUS! XIBOU WILL BE AVANGED! or some shit

But we can all agreee that preds are the most evil faction in the lore. Expect maybe the engis.

But thats nothing a few cobalt bombs on their home planet cannot fix.

I don’t feel that preds are evil per say. They are hunters that hunt. They kill you for sure, but thats the least of your worries if you get cought by some of the other factions. Preds don’t do a vivisection on you, they don’t experiment if your DNA can mix with a xeno morph, and they most deffinetly don’t enslave you without actual perks (look at thralls and how “respected” they are compared to the debt slavery WY practices).

I think it’s more that their motives are worse then even WY. Pred see all other life as below them and worth as good for nothing but killing for their own enjoyment or honor. They oppress their own people and kill each often in duels or honor. Thier ideology is like that a mix between japanise fascism and the msot dangours game. Not to mention most labor in their empire is made of slaves of their own people. Since preds of the same rank will kill each other I can only imagine how slaves are treated. It’s like something out of TNO. Also they kill babies if they are too weak to get out of their egg to purge the weak. The mothers will just leave them their to die.

Not to mentiond that they do infact infect people with xeno eggs to then hunt xenos. Provided they don’t kill you. Also they do do a vivisection on you it’s called getting stabbed with a sword. At least WY uses their power to fund science that helps people sometimes. Not to mention their entire system is insane and will likely result in the extinction of their speices as humanity grows larger.

I have hear of serial killer with more chill these guys. The main diffrence between these guys evil and WY is that WY does it soemtimes. Preds this is all they do thier is no greater goal but eternal bloodshed and domniation. Thier actions have spread the xeno infectous over many worlds for no reason other then they wanted to make bigger monsters.

Eh. Preds are already a somewhat minority amongst humanitys killers. They only look for the strong, and even outright ignore civilians. And not to mention, when you are fighting a pred, the fight usually ends swiftly. You get your spine ripped out, you get bisected, you get blasted with hot plasma. But all of them end with you dying at mas a minute after the attack.

Meanwhile, WY has labs everywhere, and they are in need of more and more people to test their shit on. And they need the testers to be both be alive as long as they can (so they can keep low with abductions/prisoner exchanges), and for them to be as usefull as possible. So you could be in absolute pain for days, weeks, months, years, just for them to test a new “Cancer cure” they can siphon goverment money on.

Edit: I also didn’t say that most of the maps have xenomorph outbreaks because of WY, which may or may not be accidents just to sell more weapons to UA, UPP, and TWE.

And thats just the fucked up testing. All with them directly influencing you and your missery, but there is also the inderect with them giving out money/funds to the CLF, planning rebelions in peacefull colonies to get more warfund, tearing up the peace little by little to get conflicts between UA, TWE and UPP, just for them to get more fucked up weapons.

And this is mostly happening galaxy wide. You could even pin the blame of UA and UPP actions on them through lobbying, and just generally being a giant mega corp that can swing its way wherever they want with the giant monopoly they have.

So wether I’d want to face the Predator trying to kill me ASAP, VS the prolonged agony that would be to live under/be tested on by WY, I’d personally go with the predator.

Its like comparing facing a Dark Eldar, or an Ork from 40k. And If you know, you pick the ork.

this quote is incomplete, as some individual/non sponsored violence is approved, like vigilantism against the truly wicked, self defense, and when it’s very convenient for the powers that be

WY- The crimes of Vim Croi will never be forgiven or forgotten.

WY 100% notice how there is always a WY facility wherever these biohazards infestations take place?

WY has been experimenting with xenos for 40 years or so at the current CM year.

Either W-Y or CLF.

One is a greedy company that wanted to keep a xenomorph alive for bioweapons testing, with no regard to the crew (Alien), and the corporate liaison actively betrays the marines (Aliens).

CLF on the other hand. They torture people, not a fan of violence.
