[[https://www.vendetta-online.com/ Vendetta Online]] is a [[FirstPersonShooter First Person]] [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMO]] [[SimulationGame Space Sim]] developed by Guild Software.
In it, players take the role of a pilot for one of three nations in a far-future setting: the Serco, the Itani, or the Union of Independent Territories. Given a ship and a handful of [[WeWillSpendCreditsInTheFuture credits]], players are kicked out into the [[WideOpenSandbox galaxy]] to make their fortune.
The {{backstory}} [[https://www.vendetta-online.com/h/storyline.html for the game]], the Chronicles of Exile, details future human history from [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture 2140]] to [[ExtyYearsFromNow 4432]].
Playable since 2002, Vendetta Online was launched in 2004 on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It has since then expanded to Android and iOS platforms, and is notable for being one of the few [=MMORPG=]s where mobile and PC players can interact in the same persistent universe.
----
!! Vendetta Online provides examples of:
* AbsentAliens: While there is plenty of life other than humans, all of it is genetically engineered from terrestrial life and none of it is sapient.
* AIIsACrapshoot: There are several "hives" of rogue mining drones that serve as the game's primary form of PvE.
* [[TheAllegedCar The Alleged Spaceship]]: While not exactly bad, the EC-89 starter ship is the ''least'' capable ship in the game. Some of its variants, [[MagikarpPower however]]...
* AncientConspiracy: Several followers of [[BigBad Akan]] made it off of Terra II by hiding out among other Itani refugees. They passed down his teachings over the years, eventually becoming the Akanese. The Akanese are a sore point in modern Serco/Itani relations.
* AsteroidMiner: A common profession for both [=NPC=]s and players.
* TheAtoner: The Itani, after being driven off of Terra II, completely (well... [[AncientConspiracy mostly]], see above) turned to [[ActualPacifist pacifism]]. They don't even so much as look at a weapon again until forced to defend themselves in the ForeverWar a thousand years later.
* BigBad: Akan, an ancient Itani leader and Hitler {{expy}}. His actions started a bloody world-wide war, led to the deaths of more than a million innocent Serco and the near-extinction of the Itani, and set the stage for the ForeverWar a thousand years later.
* BloodKnight: The Serco culture places a great deal of importance on one's martial prowess.
* CasualInterstellarTravel: Even the junkers that governments hand out for free can be used to circumnavigate the galaxy in less than an hour.
* {{Cyborg}}: Cybernetic augmentation is extremely commonplace among the Serco.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience:
** The Itani, Serco, and UIT are blue, red, and yellow, respectively.
** [[FrickinLaserBeams Blasters]] shoot different colored bolts depending on what kind they are.
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with ships. While [=NPC=] ships will be painted the color of their respective faction, player ships can be painted any color.
* DeflectorShields: Mounted on capital ships.
* ElvesVersusDwarves: Mystical Pacifist Scholars versus Angry Cybernetic Warriors.
* EnergyWeapons: The vast majority of them.
* FantasticRacism: The Serco hate the Itani. Akanese Itani hate them right back.
* FasterThanLightTravel
* FinalSolution: This was [[CompleteMonster Akan's]] plan for the Serco in the backstory.
** This may or may not be the Serco's goal for the Itani.
* ForeverWar: The Serco/Itani War has been going on for a couple centuries now.
* FragileSpeedster: The Itani Valkyrie is a lightly-armored fighter that relies on its ability to fly rings around most other ships in the game to stay alive.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: According to the backstory, the Itani possess three [[{{BFG}} enormous]] [[WaveMotionGun cannons]] in the Deneb system. These are nowhere to be found in-game.
* GreyandGrayMorality: The Serco want revenge for past wrongs. The Itani want to live in peace. The UIT just want to make a living.
* KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter: [[MagneticWeapons Railguns]] deal some of the highest damage-per-shot in the game, though this is balanced by limited ammo.
** Missiles and Flares (unguided rockets) meet or exceed Railguns in damage-dealing.
* LightningBruiser: The Serco Prometheus, a heavily-armed, over-engined slab of armor that is more maneuverable than ships half its mass.
* LiteraryAgentHypothesis: The backstory is presented as an in-universe timeline compiled by Itani historians.
* PerpetuallyStatic: Played with.
** PlayedStraight with the galaxy at large.
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with Deneb. While sectors in the system are constantly changing ownership, this is reset on a weekly basis and Deneb itself always stays Itani.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Possible with "Swarm" Missile launchers, which launch salvos of eight at a time.
* MeatPuppet: "Guises" from the background material are artificially grown, brainless humans used as combat drones.
* NamedAfterTheirPlanet: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with Serco Prime and Itan, the Serco and Itani homeworlds respectively.
* NukeEm: Happens to a Serco space station in the backstory.
