Morshower Communiqués
The site regularly posted videos, in which General Morshower would address you, detailing life within NEST, what you’re fighting for and who you would fight against. At the end of each video, it would show a message telling the viewer to "Prepare for Battle" and then show the site address. These videos are still available on YouTube.

Users could register to play a game where they could enlist the help of friends and acquire points. Among the potential prizes were Transformers merchandise and a trip to NEST HQ in California.
