The Remnants
# Led by ex-US military General James Buchanan, take charge with the heroic Remnants, as you modify your units on the fly to deal with the situation.
# Use stealth to infiltrate enemy lines, and guerrilla tactics to devise lethal traps involving napalm, proximity mines, bomb cluster chains and devastating nuclear weapons.
# Turn enemy units against their masters, as you hack into and control the Ascension's ruthless transforming tech, the Mechamorphs.
The Ascension
# Dominate with the insidious Ascension, headed by Arlan Khan, as you command the all-powerful Mechmorphs with their transforming technology.
# Fear no one with your advanced technology and shielded units, with their laser weaponry, cryogen rays and orbital weapon platforms, which strike down death from above.
# It's not just the Ascension's weaponry that can transform; if you need to relocate your base or buildings, these too can be transformed and moved on.
The Hai-Genti
# Attack the human factions as you command the full strike force of the invading Hai-Genti.
# Take on an altogether alien strategy and you fire down spores from the skies to grow an army of vicious bloodthirsty beasts.
# Launch surprise attacks and tear the humans limb from limb to feed your ravenous spores, the literal hearts of your campaign.
# Sacrifice your own units to produce even more vicious and deadly mutated monsters. After all, they're only fodder for the cause.
