Fiction Coles Notes history just prior to games current timeline?

Schnooble

S
I'd like to read up a bit on what is happening in the Elite world just prior to the beginnings of "Dangerous". I've seen lots of links for books, but what I don't really have the time to read it before Dangerous releases. I may check some of them out when I'm done my current reading projects...

Anyone know if there is a "coles notes" readme that explains the backdrop story of the games universe just as we enter into the game? I know there's something about an emperor that is dying and some successor that is really running the show, but that's about it.

Thanks.

Short answer is not really.

The history documents for the game are there, but not currently in a form that works for general release. Frontier will decide when and if they are ready.

However, there are things that may help.

Lave Radio Episode 38 contains a short guide to the factions - http://laveradio.com/podcasts/laveradio-ep38.mp3

There is also the Frontier Gazetteer, most of which is still relevant - http://lotf.co.uk/fe2_gazetteer.html or http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Gazetteer/intro.htmlhttp://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Gazetteer/intro.html

The News broadcasts from FFE are available here - http://www.dream-ware.co.uk/first-encounters/journals/all/

About 90% of all information (in the older links) is still accurate.

The Elite Dangerous Wiki is also a good source of quick information - http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Elite_Dangerous_Wiki

Hopefully that helps you.

What he said...

The Gazetteer link is gold. its 20 years old but I would imagine its going to be pretty accurate.

The short stories is nice too from the same era.
