How do you find the children of Terra

[Aepervius]

I want to join that faction, but so far I have encountered only venghi, Syndicate , and pirate faction.

Is tehre a way/direction I should go to find the chidlren ?

[Zarinthal]

Well, they're rebels, so they're hiding mostly, lets just say "fake it til you make it" applies

They are few and far between. You probably won't find them by looking for them. But you will come across them eventually. I think they have a higher chance to spawn in dark sectors, but as I said going out of your way to find them will probably be frustrating.

It depends on how your map is created randomly, sometime, you'll get really lucky and get a few rebel stations spawned early in nearby systems. Roughly speaking 1 out of 25 station maybe? Otherwise they are by far the rarest stations, you just gotta check a lot of places.

Edit: Beside the tinhead stations :)

I have played the game for roughly 50 hours, gotten a character to lvl 50, and only at the very end through some searching did I find my very first CoT base. They're that rare. It's a little bit absurd.

The trick I read on the forum is that you need to find a venghi controlled sector that's under attack by a fleet of rebels (on the map you see the little explosions in the sector). If you find one of those, supposedly one of the nearby sectors (within about 10 parsecs) should have a CoT base in it. I tried this out myself and indeed, there it was.

Blow up venghis until they contact you.

Basically this. I was asked to join them after I blew up my first Venghis base..

This is hilarious.. because I have a CoT base 2 jumps from my spawn sector. It was one of the first sectors I cleared lol.

I'm a bit surprised not enough people think about that :)

yeah the CoT are hard to find, no wonder they have the best crew and ships in the game.

Late reply, but if you want to find the Children of Terra without making the Venghi hate you first, then here is the trick:

Find a conflict zone where a CoT fleet is assaulting a Venghi base. From there, search all nearby Pitch Black sectors. IThe nearest Pitch Black sector will probably have a Rebel Base. It's that easy.

Has never worked for me.

theyre extremely rare to come across randomly, early game. Just try to look around a bunch once you start getting to lvl. 25-30, should find it relatively quickly. Although there have been times where the nearest Terran sector was like 110 parsecs away from me..

or just do this.. I mean, there's a gaurenteed Venghi base early game which usually only has charging lasers. Just get to like lvl 15 and blow that thing up, easy honor

Bounty contracts from the Venghi can lead you to a sector with a rebel base.

That is thinking outside the box! Congrats.

Because thats not how its presented in the game. In the game it makes it seem like the only option is to find a base and make a choice. At no point does it say blowing them up is a shortcut to making that decision.

Im just finding this out too. I made the same exact complaint. Every system was Venghi or something else so choosing CoT meant that I had to first find their base, or at least thats what I thought until this thread.

Its not obvious and its confusing for new players. If you Google this mission youll see that people have issues with this very thing. Why make such an early game mission where you have to choose a side and one of those sides is "hidden" and the other is all over the place.

At the beginning of the game you fight mostly pirates and do missions for Venghi since they are all over the place then out of the blue you get a mission to side against them from a faction youve never heard? Its not designed well. Ive had that mission sitting uncleared for my entire playthrough so far.

Why on Earth would I make half the universe hate me for some nobodies who have barely any stations.
