It was critically well-received, but never enjoyed the same fan support as the earlier titles. Executive Meddling and cessation of official support barely a year hence gave this installment a short lifespan. A prequel to the earlier games, it features a story-driven campaign centered around the Tribal Wars, a conflict between "tribal" fringe planets and Earth's Galactic Empire.
Tribes: Vengeance was released in October 2004, developed by Irrational Games (the creators of System Shock 2 and the BioShock series) and based on the Unreal Engine. The Bioderms present in the game debuted in CyberStorm. It received a PlayStation 2 port in the form of Tribes: Aerial Assault in 2002. 
It was bigger, badder and came with its fair share of bugs, but it was loved all the same.
Tribes 2, was released in March 2001 and on Linux in April. Known for one of the great Good Bad Bugs of gaming, which allowed players to abuse the physics engine to "ski" down slopes, so pervasive that it was implemented as gameplay feature in every sequel to follow. It established itself as a unique multiplayer shooter with several key differences from its contemporaries, such as sprawling outdoor maps and movement centered around the use of a Jet Pack. Starsiege: Tribes, the first game in the series, was released in November 1998 by Dynamix, who also made Starsiege. The disparate tribes battle one other for control of planetary territory and resources using Powered Armor and advanced small arms. Beyond the edge of space controlled by The Empire, in a region called the Wilderzone, are various tightly-knit Tribes, who live a harsh frontier existence but otherwise free of Imperial authority. In the distant future, humanity has spread amongst the stars. The original game bears the Starsiege title because it is in fact a sequel of sorts to that game and represents the continuation of the EarthSiege franchise as a whole. Tribes is a long-running series of multiplayer-focused First Person Shooters found mostly on PC, with a few exceptions.
