Tribes: Vengeance

Vengeance is set hundreds of years before the events of Starsiege: Tribes and depicts the genesis of the growing tribal war. It focuses on the events surrounding five different characters over the course of two generations and how they all contribute to the developing war. The story ("The Past") begins with a Phoenix sub-clan leader named Daniel kidnapping the soon-to-be queen, Princess Victoria. He takes her to his homeworld to show her the injustices done to his people, and the two eventually fall in love. During this time, a Cybrid assassin named Mercury is hired by an unknown contractor to eliminate Daniel, but the job is aborted just before the shot is fired. Eventually, Victoria and Daniel try to reconcile between the Imperials and the Phoenix, but it all ends disastrously when the Phoenix's enemies, the Blood Eagle tribe, carry out a raid on a Phoenix base disguised as Imperial troops. In his rage, Daniel kills the imperial king Tiberius, whom Victoria avenges by killing Daniel. It turns out that Victoria was pregnant with Daniel's child, who was born a woman shortly thereafter under the name Julia.
