This is Mariya Oktyabrskaya, she saved all her money (50,000 rubbles) and wrote to Stalin that she was giving that money to get a tank built to avenge her husband who died on the front. She asked that it be called "Fighting girlfriend" and that she wanted to drive it. Stalin wrote back granting her the request and she drove the tank in battle. She was known to get out of her tank in battle to repair it and continue fighting. A hero who fought against fascism.
@robotcarsley Is see there's also these folks from the expansion: https://alphacentauri.fandom.com/wiki/The_Free_Drones
seem to be syndicalists or something
@robotcarsley which one are the tankies? The Human Hive? (they're described as authoritarian collectivists so I assume that's it. Just started reading about the factions)
@ChaosSkeleton a few things that make it stand out above others:
Fully modular units
Terraforming on both global and local scales (your workers can change the height of terrain, and later on you can convince other factions to cooperatively raise or lower sea level)
Excellent writing and voice work on all the flavor text for techs and wonders
The tankies are the strongest faction, and the capitalists are the weakest
