The Commonwealth Civil War is the unofficial name given to the conflict taking place in Red Faction II, It was influenced by the uprising on Mars during the events in Red Faction and the conflict involved a Rebellion inspired by Mars's Red Faction led by an young man codenamed "Echo" against the Commonwealth's forces led by General Sopot

The fall of the Commonwealth eventually led to multiple rebellions exploding at the same time on Earth, causing an economic crisis that weakens the EDF enough to be brought out and controlled by multinational corporations interested in Mars's resources, leading to the Second Martian Revolution forty-five years later.

Beginning of the Civil War[]

Prelude[]

Sometime before the civil war began, the Commonwealth had a war with the United Republic. It's not known the outcome of the war outside of ruining the Commonwealth's economy, causing a huge humanitarian crisis that was met with authoritarian and brutal measures by the government. It's unknown when the civil war began, but it had gone on for a few months when Molov's team allied themselves with the Red Faction after being branded as dangerous elements by Sopot's government.

Aftermath[]

Depending on the outcome of the player performance.

  1. Alias is immediately offered and accepts the position of military adviser to the Red Faction government, and when he finally retired many years later, his memoirs stayed on the bestseller list for 17 weeks, and were eventually made into a video game. Tangier travels to Mars and becomes executive Vice President of security to the reorganized Ultor mining company, and Shrike marries into a family of circus performers and makes his fortune as the star attraction at a theme park built on the remains of Sopot Island.
  2. Alias is decorated for acts of heroism and eventually is offered and accepts a position as the military adviser to the new Red Faction Government, Tangier is rescued and elected Chancellor of the Commonwealth, and Shrike becomes a pilot for the reformed civilian air fleet.
  3. Alias is convicted of manslaughter and is scheduled to be executed, Tangier is found by a Garbage Barge, she falls in love with the ship's captain, and lives happily ever after with her husband, six children, two dogs and three cats, and Shrike is kicked out of the Commonwealth by the Red Faction government and eventually shot down hauling bootlegged video games from third world countries.
  4. Alias is branded a mutant and a danger to the commonwealth and disappears without a trace in a daring escape moments before being executed, Tangier survives her fall but is never found, and Shrike, due to odd appearance and unstable mentality, is now homeless and unemployed. In order to achieve this ending, the only way seems to be to kill every ally and civilian you meet and achieve no bonus objectives.

It's unknown which of the ending is canonical since Red Faction: Guerrilla doesn't reference or touches upon the events of Red Faction 2 outside of an audio log from Alias.
