*** The University starts Information Networks and also gets a free tech advance of their choice at the start of the game, giving them a lot of flexibility in their tech path. And if they pick Social Psyche or Biogenetics, they can rush to Secrets of the Human Brain before any other faction to get a free tech advance, giving them ''four'' advances in the time it will take other factions to get ''two''. They also get a free Network Node at every base, not only boosting their research further, but any alien artifacts the player finds can be hooked up to a Network Node for ''more'' free tech advances.

* TheWoobie: Pravin Lal, whose sole goal is to preserve the original ''Unity'' mandate of creating a peaceful settlement for humankind on another planet and must now watch as that dream falls apart through factional infighting -- and it's up to eleven in the {{Novelization}}. He can become a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds, however, depending on how the game unfolds.
** Of course, it is also possible (with sufficient luck and skill) for him to more-or-less peacefully [[EarnYourHappyEnding re-unite the factions with his ideals as the forefront]] -- he does get double votes in elections for Supreme Leader, after all.
