Two more games were released, ''Uprising X'', a UsefulNotes/PlayStation game where the near defeated Imperium turns out to have an ace up the sleeve, and ''Uprising 2'', in which you fight against the alien Trich.
''Uprising'' 1 and 2 are now available on Website/GOGDotCom, while ''Uprising X'' pretty much remain [[{{Abandonware}} abandonware]] at this point; finding actual working copies, let alone disk images, is pretty much impossible.

* KillSat: The K-Sat superweapon, which can only be built if you have two existing power buildings, fires a beam of energy straight up that comesdown on whatever you're targeting and fries it. The [[{{All There In The Manual}} manual]] explains it reflects the beam of energy off an orbiting satellite.

A 1997 3D video game released by the now defunct Cyclone Studios, Uprising: Join or Die is a hybrid first person/real time strategy. The player takes the role of a member of the [[{{La Resistance}} Uprising]], piloting the [[{{Super Prototype}} Wraith]], and experimental command tank. The player is tasked with capturing planets and eventually the Imperial homeworld itself. Planets are generally captured by occupying all the command bunkers on the map, which is done by calling down a citadel, a massive armored and armed tower that acts as both guardian and command center. Of course, not all command bunkers are unoccupied, and Imperium citadels are heavily defended, requiring the player to deploy infantry, tanks, [=AAVs=][[note]]Aerial Assault Vehicle[[/note]] and bombers to clear them off the command bunker.
The game was generally well received, but had poor sales due to marketing unable to properly sell the game's hybrid nature. A sequel was released, Uprising 2, in which you fight against the alien Trich.

!!Uprising features the following tropes:
* AwesomeButImpractical: The K-Sat is powerful, can take out most citadels in one shot, but requires you to have two existing power buildings, and costs about 800 power per shot.
** On the Wraith itself, the mortar. It allows you to deal respectable damage to buildings, which are otherwise near impervious to most of your arsenal, but accurate firing requires a lot of guess work.
* BoringButPractical: Arguably the two most useful weapons in the game are the Helix missile and your standard laser cannon. When fully upgraded, and at full weapons energy, your basic laser cannon fires at a truly blistering rate, allowing it to chew through almost anything, and the Helix is an agile, fast moving projectile that tracks anything under your crosshairs, making it invaluable for killing AAVs.
** Infantry too fall under this category, being cheap, plentiful, and generally easiest way to take out a building.
* DeathFromAbove: The K-Sat obviously, but most commonly bombers, which are always preceded by a deep rumble.
* KillItWithFire: The Wraith can mount a flamer.
* KillSat: The K-Sat superweapon, which can only be built if you have two existing power buildings, fires a beam of energy straight up that comesdown on whatever you're targeting and fries it. The [[{{All There In The Manual}} manual]] explains it reflects the beam of energy off an orbiting satellite.
* LaResistance: Obviously.
* LethalJokeWeapon: Conquering the Imperial capital and then going back to pick up any missed planets will net you the Anvil, which drops an anvil on anything you target. Suffice to say, it is the most powerful weapon in the game.
* LifeDrain: The Spline weapon allows you to repair the tank by draining the life of a target; upgrading it improves the rate, damage and ammo count.
* OneManArmy: The player. You are dropped in your Wraith and expected to take over a world. And you generally do it. That's not to mention the fact that the Wraith itself is packed to the brim with heavy weaponry including, and not limited to mortars, flamethrowers, laser cannons, heat seeking missiles, rockets and vampire beams.
* MoreDakka: Upgrading your standard laser cannon gives you this. Boosting AAVs and bombers nets them with fast firing laser cannons, with the higher tier bombers getting up to three such cannons for AA use.
* SuperPrototype: The Wraith, which is explained to be a command tank, designed to lead attacks on enemy positions by calling in reinforcements around it while supporting them with heavy firepower.
* TheEmpire: The Imperium. Said to be corrupt, selfish, and concerned only with subjugating its subjects instead of their well being.
