I didn’t use to read the texts too carefully when playing, so idk, I don’t remember it. But Wikipedia agrees with you, so I guess that’s how it is.
Come to think of it, even if they missed the narrative motivation, they would still have to count it as woke because it has female crew members who are just as efficient and strong as male ones. I shit you not, that was their complaint regarding Age of Empires 2 and 3…
Ehh, I’ve played the game a fair bit over the years and haven’t noticed that detail
Isn’t the rebelion’s whole deal that they’re human supremacists?

The human supremecist plot is told through bits of text but also the fact that all rebel ships have 100% human crew.
Meanwhile the Federation (which is the government the player is fighting to preserve) values diversity and attempts to make peace with all the aliens.
One of the achievements you need to unlock one of the federation ships is to have a crew with at least 6 different species or something like that.
