lore

Even if the lore says that the Guardians have retreated or even died out. It would be kind of cool if a new structure emerged in the fight against the Thargoids. As if a small group of Guardians had found a way to escape death. And now they come back with a super weapon that they hid back then...

I know that in-game during wars ships are essentially infinite for both sides, but for the purpose of writing a fanfic, I'm interested in how large independent system fleets and armies could be. Lets take an independent system with an Earth-like world and about a billion residents and another...

Greetings, fellow Commanders! Mods, I hope this is at the right place. Happy to be corrected if not. 🚀 Are you ready to take your Elite Dangerous experience to the next level? 🌌 I'm thrilled to introduce you to a groundbreaking platform that will immerse you in the vast universe of Elite...

:cool: O7fellow commanders, I wanted to take a moment to discuss the recent Community Goal (CG) launched by Kokoller Limited in Elite Dangerous, called "Kokoller Limited Mineral Acquisition." While the intention behind the CG seemed promising, I believe it missed the mark and failed to resonate...

Cmdr's. Where can I go to read about elite lore? I am looking to brush up my game knowledge and require input; specifically the thargoids, the guardians and the guardian AI. More information the better. o7

Elite's Universe has an insanely complex backstory. As such, I like to propose CMDRs getting together (virtually) to have a fun gathering of Elite Encounters RPG and Elite Dangerous RPG. The main goals would a fun gathering where we can all better learn the lore (past and present) of varying...

Just as Drew believed, I too believe that the universe of Elite and Elite Dangerous is bigger than David Braben or the FDEV, and that needs to be explored. I believe that Elite not only post war thargoid could give continuity in lore of the game, while fixing the almost infinite bugs and bring...

Hello CMDRs! With the recent revival of narrative updates in a regular format, I figured that CMDRs returning from long voyages out in the black might appreciate a primer on what's been happening since they were gone. I noticed the wiki timeline information hadn't been updated with any of the...

"Archie, please initiate speech-to-text." [inaudible background noise] "Thank you." Log Entry 1 Well, I've been flying long enough to know my life may meet a swift end at some point. It's been 8 years since I graduated from the pilot's federation and left the clutches of Kamadhenu. 8 years...

Recipient: Pilot's Federation Permit Operations team Date: November 18th, 3308 Body: CMDR Dylan D, Owner of the YKE Albatross Xenological Research Carrier [V4W-L9N], wishes to join the brave crew of the Kingfisher to greet the first rogue signal source, Taranis. On behalf of the Thargoid...

Hello Commanders! o7 Hope all is fine on your side. Here is my take on Salvation, Azimuth Biotech (Character design/concept) Artwork : Salvation in details :

Hello fellow commanders, being new to the game (and the franchise), I would like to know where I should go to experience the narrative of Elite: Dangerous from the beginning. Preferrably in the chronological order the game presented it. If there should be an existing thread to this topic, feel...

Also reported here: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/51938 While investigating HIP 22460 recently, I discovered that scan logs are no longer saved to the codex. This is very sad to lore player who'd like to recap on the logs and events to seek out for more hints. Similar...

Is this mentioned in any official lore? if not what do you believe would be the most logical mode of transport the average joe would use to travel in the cities of earth like words? would cars still exist?

What are Thargoid Meta Alloys? I often feel like the description above of meta alloys is incomplete, based only on what contemporary Humanity has tested and understands about these meta alloy materials. Recently I had ideas about their true potential. The human uses of these alloys which are...

So multiple groups in-universe dislike Arissa Lavigny-Duval because she's non- traditional and they want a return to good old traditional values. The Emperor's Dawn and pre-Hadrian Nova Imperium were big on this. That's all well and good. ... but what about Arissa is so destructive to Imperial...

Is the hydrogen used by ships in ED stored in a liquid or gas state in the fuel tank?

how much do you think the ordinary middle-class citizen earns per year (in credits)? i think the lore somewhere mentions that 1cr = $50, and also that the average middle-class family can afford a sidewinder. but if we take the current us average of $56,310 and convert it to credits we get...

This is a repost from Independent Raxxla Hunters discord where someone had mentioned the lore stream and the fact there might be Raxxla references elsewhere. This is my response because it is has become increasingly evident Michael Brookes while instrumental in building the Elite Dangerous...

The ingame lore describes TDW as some mystical/unknown association noone knows where to find and gives a hint regarding a certain system which I haven't figured out yet. But I did find TDW as a faction So my question is, how does that fit into the picture? Should I get friendly with those guys...

Heyo everyone. Hope you’re doing well. I know Odyssey criticism has been done to death at this point and most of what needs to be said has already been said, but I still think that there’s a lot that hasn’t been fully addressed on the forums and I’ve wanted to talk about my opinions on Odyssey...

I apologize that I may be interrupting any conspiracy theorycraft or discussions on in-game realpolitik, however upon logging into Elite Dangerous this morning I happened upon this queer notification on the main menu and could not help myself but to read the full article. I nearly spat out my...

I think it's a nice idea to build a outpost near colonia, where all kind of slaves can be get their freedom, because so we can colonize more in the galaxy. I have 100.000.000 Cr on my bank it is not much but a good start for colonize and freedom. What do you all think about it, it is kinda...

So I was just brainstorming a small idea and while doing that I came across an idea regarding the social media in Elite universe and how it works. We the CMDRs of pilots federation get our news and all the latest happenings through Galnet which is easily accessible all across the galaxy, but...

Welcome to The GalNet Archive. This is as much for my own use as anybody else's, I know they're elsewhere but they don't seem to be on one easy accessible page so I'm putting them on here for future reference. This Archive only covers from the return of GalNet on 10th September 3306 (2020). I...

Active, multi-featured Discord server looking to foster a purpose-driven new PC Squadron: The Pleiades Historical Society. The goal? Drive the shadowy organization known as “The Club” out of the Pleiades region, and solve the mystery of Megaship Overlook. The method? Using all the tools...

“You really screwed it, didn’t you, skip?” Chucho the mechanic said. Commander Neulen replied with a dirty look. “Well,” Chucho continued, “I thought it was pretty funny. Bad timing, and the delivery could have been better, but overall a solid joke. Very you. Shows your trademark deficiency in...

What is The Club An organization that controls Elite: Dangerous behind the scenes Conceived by David Braben Featured in GalNet and the novels Clearly and repeatedly fingered as "The Bad Guys" in Elite: Dangerous The enemy of The Dark Wheel Only two known ways to interact with them: BGS and...

(IN UNIVERSE) My fellow commanders. It is with a heavy heart that I must come before you today to put an end to the lies and corruption within the Pilots’ Federation. This once-venerable institution has been infiltrated and subjugated by a nefarious group of elites known only as ‘The Club’. For...

I see the option but none available on PS4. If anyone is willing to join up and give some advice or drop some lore it would be appreciated. Psn: obsidian_wlf

I am a huge fan of your company and devoted player of your game, as well as purchaser of many, many paint jobs. I am the co-host of a podcast every week that is dedicated to the amazing thing that you have created. I love so many aspects of it that were I to fully unpack that statement it would...

Why do so many important characters of the ED lore not have a profile image yet? Is Frontier too lazy to permit an artist to draw 2D artwork? Or will they add 3D models with the next expansion? There are so many things of the lore that lack any visual reference.

ED has dozens of interesting characters in the galaxy. The most popular ones are the movers and shakers in Powerplay. Yet we only have 1 portrait per Powerplay leader. Most are faceless individuals in GalNet news. There are thousands of people who would love to know more about their favorite ED...

It’s easy. Galnet just needs to draw a clear distinction between in game events and pure flavor material. This is how you do it: FDev makes two categories of articles. TOP STORIES OTHER NEWS TOP STORIES would be reserved only for events with in-game ramifications. Top stories would always...

(The following suggestion is a fictitious use of fictitious places and characters to create a fictitious story that could fictitiously connect fictitious events in a fictitiously believable way. Although fictitious places and people are mentioned in this fictitious suggestion, they are used in a...

I'm just writing this because I really don't know what to do next. I govern a player faction "Arms of the Panda" that is currently in a jam (because of my poor choice for a starter system). So I asked Frontier if it would be possible to move it to another system. Answer is no. When a faction is...

One thing that has been bugging me since i started playing this game is how immersion breaking piracy is in this game. Why does anyone turn pirate (aside from us players that do it for fun)? Getting a bounty flag us for destruction, by anyone (we are lucky stations don't open fire on us). Stolen...

ALL REPORTS/PROGRESS UPDATED ON THE BOTTOM After today's big announcement, it is clearly confirmed by Frontier that Chapter 4 will bring amazing Lore in the Codex including Raxxla and The Dark Wheel. The Forgotten Initiative has decided to take lead on this new insight and send their Scientific...

Would it be possible and easy to add a feature where Galnet audio could be set to read out Elite dangerous lore while flying around. It would be a great way for players to get up to speed on all the major lore and history of the game. If its just a matter of adding text to the game it should...
