[[WellIntentionedExtremist they all believe]] [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans in what they're doing]]. From the blatantly autocratic Solar Dynasty to Terra Salvum, which was ''founded'' by a decade-long terror campaign.

Despite the parallels between factions in Alpha Centauri and Pandora, the motivations and backstories vary wildly. For example the Lord's Believers(of Alpha Centauri) follow predominantly Christian themes. The Divine Ascension leader, on the other hand, has AGodAmI complex, and the religion is described as "the worst parts of Facebook, Scientology, and North Korea".

* TisOnlyABulletInTheBrain: Lilith Vermillion managed to survive being shot in the head by a sniper. However, it's implied that she did sustain irreparable brain damage, resulting in her AGodAmI complex. Previously, she only used the Divine Ascension as a way to amass more power and blackmail material. Afterwards, she began to genuinely believe that she was a prophet.

* MagnificentBastard: Director Eric Preston of Noxium foresaw Imperium hijacking their prototype colony ship. The moment Heid contacted him, he sent a coded message to Noxium subsidiaries to short-sell Noxium stock like crazy. He knew that as soon as the news of the hijacking became public, the stock would tank. Indeed, that's what ends up happening, and Noxium ends up making back a lot more than what they lost, including the cost of the lost ship.

* DesignItYourselfEquipment: Like in ''Alpha Centauri'', you have a workshop where you can modify a unit's armament, armor, and equipment. Unfortunately, renaming units is not an option, so you might end up with several different types of infantry all named "Colonial Trooper" with only icons to let you know what they're carrying. Existing units can be upgraded to new designs of the same type, for a price.
