Most of the scientists in the Vanu were on the TR's side, so why didn't they merge with the TR? That would make an interesting change in-game. If you look deeply into the paragraphs, you'll see that some are biased towards one faction, and some to another. One of the paragraphs pretty much states the insurgents, which were also the NC, did not destroy the Explorer. The TR wouldn't have destroyed it because they owned it and their captain was onboard, and the Vanu weren't even a faction yet, so I think there are two possible scenarios-1. Major system failure. 2. It was the "aliens" fault.
