Starbase has set itself as a rough slate that is ripe for speculation into its existence. This is my theory on the history of the Starbase universe, spoken through the factions that will inevitably form its tales in the future. In Chapter One I hope to contribute speculation into the existence of the endoskeleton, where Empire and Kingdom come from, what happened to humanity, and what I believe to be the most scientifically confounding aspect, (disregarding warp travel) the resource bridge. Do note, the purpose of this lore is not to explain the history, but provide context for speculation.
I hope you enjoy your read. I tried to keep each chapter to about a two minute read for ease.

This lore is meant to be read in order of parts, it is not in chronological order however,
To read in chronological order - which I do not recommend on first read through - read in order:
Pre Starbase Timeline :

Closed Alpha Timeline :
Neo Collective Arc : Part 1 >
Origin Orion/SOS Arc : Part 2 >
Neo Collective Arc : Part 7 >

Post Early Access Release Timeline :

Tactical/SOS Arc : Part 5 >
SOS Arc : Part 6 > 15
Tactical/Orion/Empire Arc : Part 8 >

Thank you to everyone who has let me represent their organization in this Lore.
I am not affiliated with any organization as of writing this, and before contacting them to obtain permission to use their organization in the lore, had no prior experience with any of the organizations within. Organizations in the lore, were chosen solely on research into them, how interesting, and willing, their organization was, and how useful it was to the lore I wanted to write.
I hope you enjoy your read. I tried to keep each chapter to about a two minute read for ease.
