Gamespot has posted a new hands-on preview of the Tribes: Vengeance single player campaign. The brunt of this article is a description of the first level in the campaign. The campaign seems to start out with you knowing absolutely nothing about what is happening:

The game starts with the main heroine, the Imperial princess Julia, pointing a gun at a defeated foe on a rainy night. We don't know much about the situation, such as who the man is and why she's pointing a gun at him, but he surprises Julia by handing her a fragment of a disc, which triggers the next sequence, which is a flashback to 20 years earlier.

The second sequence is set on an Imperial flagship, and you now get to play as Victoria, an Imperial princess on her way to her arranged marriage. It doesn't take long to figure out that Victoria is something of a spoiled brat, and it takes her older sister, Olivia, to talk her into going along with the marriage. However, the flagship is ambushed by the Phoenix tribe, which boards the ship. Victoria is cut off from her family, which means that you have to control her as you run around the ship, trying to find a way off.
