Lore staples to writing short stories and back grounds.

What are some of the staples to the Elite Dangerous lore when it comes to writing?

I mean something that is 100% needs to be accurate, and what are some things that are kinda iffy that you can sorta change the narrative of?

Thanks, Commanders. o7
 
I actually really want to see the lore heads dive into this topic because I’ve always wanted a timeline of the elite universes technology progression at a wide band kinda level. Nothing like that exists to my knowledge but I too have wanted to write some material but want to weave it with the lore in the background for historical character upbringing.
 
The frame shift drive is only about 35 yrs old.

Ai is bad and people distrust it.

Cloning clearly happened in the past and seems to be a method by which some ruling classes retain their dynastic traditions.

There are so many shadowy organisations with powerful friends that if you aren't a member of one of them already who even are you?

Awesome, I've heard of the AI one before. Pretty much no one uses AI, right?

I also didn't know the FSD was so young! So that means we are still in the early stages of exploring our Galaxy, cool.
 
Good sources for the lore are the official novels and for detail the two RPG’s which have a timeline for humanity’s history, expansion, political and technological development. It depends on how keen you are to get the details right.

i didn’t realize there was a technology timeline in the rpg. Might have to go pick that up now. Thanks for this info!

there were other methods of travel before the FSD. Sub light in Generation ships and something called the Far Away drive. Drew's Lore guides are the way forward though.

This has just made me think, in the next five years when we are playing the next game, "Elite even more Dangerouser" or whatever, what will the Lore be about elite Dangerous? We know about Commander Jameson and what he did in the previous games but what will someone write in their Lore note books about this game?

That's a half formed thought if ever I've had one.
 
Just recently finished reading this;
A good history lesson on the Elite universe:

 
Reckon Canonn Research Group are the go-to for timelines of both current and former game lore.
