The governor of Gallia Lugdunensis was having enough of some of the shit the emperor was doing back in Rome. Vindex was originally a supporter of Claudius and would surely have supported his son, Britannicus, as the next Roman emperor. But this didn't happen....Britannicus died and the young Nero assumed power.
Now we often forget some of the things that happened outside of Rome throughout the empire but it is important to note the revolt of the Iceni tribe in Britannia and, of course, the Jews in Judaea, and the failure to prevent Parthian influence on Armenia. All these was perhaps too much for Vindex that he felt the governor of Hispania Tarraconensis, Galba, would do a better job.
So he decided to rebel and proclaim Galba as emperor and so lights the match that would begin the Year of the Four Emperors.
After the death of Burrus, the retirement of Seneca, Nero and Tingellinus practically ruled Rome like thugs. The old senators still haven't forgotten the loss of Armenia to Tiridates and with the Jewish revolt flaring up, it became more and more questionable whether Nero could really handle running an empire. Plus, the legions really liked Galba, and support for him kept on growing until it finally reached Rome and Nero was declared a public enemy after one of his prefects deserted him, first Sabinus, then Tingellinus. Nero ran away and killed himself.
Looking back at it, we really see that Vindex was a camel that had his back broken by all these little straws. 13 years of Nero was too much for him to handle.

This is a huge purchase with potential implications for Amateur Call of Duty. For those unaware, Belong are a UK-based company that have gaming arenas spread all around the UK. They run season-based leagues under the name Arena Clash with various different titles. Call of Duty was included in that competition in Infinite Warfare and WWII, and had Arena Cups (smaller tournaments) for Black Ops 4 and Modern Warfare.
Its great that Belong is now under the control of folks who absolutely know what they're doing like Michael Sepso, Adam Apicella, and Sundance, and it seems like they plan to roll out Belong Arenas to the US and other countries. Major potential for Call of Duty to return to Arena Clash too (fingers crossed, anyway) as the UK scene needs something like that.
Showrunner Jon Page says he's not optimistic, but hopes to give VR (and its fans) the artistic integrity the work is due on AO3, regardless of an eventual return. The dramatization of the Aphelion Event that characterized the history of Earth Bet from 2011-2030 can be found here:

Hello!
A year ago I bought the game and after several atempts to play I gave up. I love it, it's everything I like about games but the sheer amout of things you can do it just too much for me. I feel lost.
Now I'd like to try it again, I unlocked the Vindex and I would make a pirate build and start with this ship but I don't know where to start.
I thought about being a Pirate that never gets into combat and trys to stay out of range, shooting down ships and looting and salvaging them.
I'd love to do some smuggling, too.
Could you help a fellow pilot with some advice, please?
