Why Are Corpus Bad?

Following the lore, Tenno fight to maintain the balance in the Solar System. 

 

Grineer hate us very much (and hunt us) and they had conquered the great part of the system. That's why we fight against them the great part of the time. 
Corpus aren't a real threat. They're first of all merchants, but something things become serious (Alad V and his 'projects', Nef Anyo and the trade of Warframe Cryopods and so on), so it could happen to us to be forced to fight them too, always in order to maintain the balance into the system (remember Jackal, Hyenas, Raptor and all the other AIs/Robotics that are too dangerous). 

 

That's the problem. Corpus themselves aren't a threat, but they usually act in a real bad way (commerce of Cryopods or Warframe components, creation of innovative weapons and so on) that force us to intervene. 

 

At the end, Tenno don't really fight anyone. Infestation too is tolerated sometimes if it's not a real problem. 
So, our purpose isn't to completely exterminate one or another faction, but to maintain the balance in the system to avoid anyone to get too much power.

But if we are to preserve balance in this way, will nothing ever change? If the Grineer are never completely killed, but rather kept to their own part of the system, nothing will ever move or advance; Corpus will keep making robots, Grineer will continue making clones of themselves, and the Infested will continue to be beaten back but never truly exterminated. No one will be allowed to advance technology because we will destroy it, for it may upset this view of balance.

 

I do not think this is the Balance we want, otherwise we are hindering the advancement of civilization!

Obviously as Tenno, we're meant to uphold balance, and we do this by killing the Grineer, to stop them from enslaving all of the galaxy, however, im assuming we kill the Corpus to protect other Tenno. Its indicated that the Corpus try to prematurely break Tenno from their Cryopods, and rip the Warframe from them for profit (This is confirmed by the dialogue from War, Mars.).

 

So I guess killing Corpus is more of a self defence action rather than upholding balance.

Because they want to capture and experiment on the Tenno...?

Warframe is not meant to be setup up with the Tenno being the obvious good guys, and the Grineer/Corpus being the obvious bad guys - they are simply our enemies who wants us dead and stuff and for that we kill them.

The purpose is to maintain balance, not to make justice.

Taking the new Vor's Prize quest as the beginning...  We first fight Corpus because Darvo tells us to.  (Don't be blaming Lotus for that one!  It was Darvo.)  He tells use not to worry about killing them because they are scum who sell weapons to the Grineer. 

Reasons for fighting Alad V have already been covered here. 

Reasons for fighting Nef Anyo are pretty similar but not as fleshed out yet.  He captures Tenno cryopods and sells them. 

Generic Corpus missions, well, in Rescue/Defence we are fighting the Corpus because they are holding someone against their will and in Survival/Capture/Spy/Mobile Defense missions they have artifacts and information vital to us.  Exterminate/Sabotage/Deception are a bit more difficult to justify.

Cryopods seem to have Tenno in them...pretty self explanatory as to why we would fight corpus or grineer in the first place.

Also the fact we help Darvo is because Tenno need friends. There are only like 2 other ones aside from Darvo, one who is anonymous and the Red Veil.

I have Lotus and Ordis!  They're my friends!  Unless they're both figments of my imagination...

These two are helpful, but having Darvo on our side allows us to have someone who can sell us supplies, Red Veil being revolutionaries can be in fact useful to us when things get bad, and this anonymous guy just gave us the cryo-status mods for god's sake!

I implore the Lotus to give us intelligence on any deplorable actions being taken by the Corpus on the people of the Origin System; otherwise our quest to restore balance would indeed entail that out objective is the complete and utter destruction of the Grineer.

 

I'd assume it's just for balance. The Corpus, if we let them rule, could start many, many civil wars among themselves "all in the name of profit". Look at Alad; he's desperate enough to get what he wants by using the damn Infested. Frohd Bek even used us to attack Alad, too, to get what he wanted. Alad used us against the Grineer to get what he wanted, though still failing to get what he wanted in the end.

 

The Grineer are proud. The Corpus are greedy; they do as much as they can to get as much as they want. It'd ultimately destroy the solar system.

 

Let's kill them both.

The true reason we fight (and kill) Corpus? Because we are told to do so and are paid when successful.

 

And as our numbers rose, the Lotus made sure we all ended up with a copy of this Ordis tech to remind us to take on new jobs, to prevent the Lotus being overwhelmed with our numbers, forgetting about any of us and those Tenno then treading the dark dark path to Stalker-hood...

Previously Neptune is where are all the Corpus indoctrination temples are.

An off shoot from Orokin tech.

 

Indoctrination AKA brain washing.

 

You still think those things the Crewmen wear are helmets....?

 

The thing about slaves is that you don't have to pay them, and that is usually a good thing when you are in it to gain as much profit as possible...!

This is logic I can get behind!

The interactions between Corpus and Tenno also have a weird holy war/religious fanatics vibe to them. The Lotus has us go after Alad V because it would be blasphemy for anyone else to control the power of the Tenno, and the Corpus worship the Orokin like gods and hate us for killing them.

Yes, but the concept is pretty old, probably from when the Tenno origin lore wasn't 'completed' yet.

They seem to be members of the Red Veil today, or something else.

This game seems to have parallels to star wars...

 

Corpus = Trade Federation

Grineer = Clone army that became the might of the Imperial Empire

 

Warframe is like the prequels if the Jedi weren't afraid to get their hands dirty and there was thankfully no Jar Jar; also.. space zombies.

But doesn't that beg the question of why the Red Veil operators would be in Cryopods instead of... ya know... operating?

Okay, so I've done my research and I know all about how the Grineer enslave colonies via a National Socialist Police State; they are definitely the bad guys, and I take every oppurtunity to put them down. But what are Corpus? They are traders, merchants, and technology fanatics. But none of those things are bad, are they? They just want money, so why do we kill them?

 

Okay, so I get why we go at Alad V's assets all the time - he purposefully targets Tenno in order to kill us and use our Frames against us (Zanuka), and I assume that it is his troops that we constantly harrass. But two questions come to mind... If he is not representative of all the Corpus but only a fraction of the Organization, why in the name of the Lotus does he have so many ships?

 

I beg for an explanation why we constantly target Corpus installations and vessels. Leaving out Alad V, who I assume does not lead most of the millions of Corpus we slaughter, why do we massacre them for no foreseeable cause? They have made significant progress in delaying the advance of the Grineer across the system, and in fact have significantly better technology ala the Jackals, Hyenas, and Raptor drone they mass produce, presumably to fight the Grineer.

 

I implore the Lotus to give us intelligence on any deplorable actions being taken by the Corpus on the people of the Origin System; otherwise our quest to restore balance would indeed entail that out objective is the complete and utter destruction of the Grineer.

corpus aren't bad they consider warframe like terrorist because the warframe slaughtered the orokin i discovered that in the discusion between darvo and his dad
