I found the lack of explanation as to why Federation even occupied the US and presumably nuked the rest of the world disturbing. I mean come on, give me some context here if you really want me to care about what these characters we are fighting for. |
The inference is simply that the Federation expanded much like Germany in WW2, absorbing countries as it went. The US would be seen as a threat to them, particularly with the whole orbital weapons platform.
