Interested. Not sure whether to go for a human or alien faction, but probably something along the lines of a big, powerful empire-type nation that is also strategically sluggish and facing severe internal decay and decadence. 

If that doesn't work, I'm game for a underdog coalition faction, compensating for bad tech and infrastructure with brilliant leaders.

Either way, count me in.

I'd say either sounds great :)
