None of the factions differ from each other in strengths or weaknesses, but each has a distinctive look and background story. Players can also choose to play a rebelling human-created soldier/worker race called the BioDerms. Set in the year 3941 of the fictional Earthsiege universe, Tribes 2 allows the user to play as a soldier in one of several factions (referred to in the game as tribes), namely the Children of the Phoenix, the Blood Eagle, the Diamond Sword, and the Starwolf.
