Ahoy, Space Pirates! Welcome to the inaugural Star Plunder devblog! Prepare to set sail and harness the winds of the cosmos as we unveil the universe our crew has meticulously crafted over the past few months. The galaxies are brimming with plunder, and booty awaits those bold enough to sail into the stars with us. Without further ado, you can go ahead and explore our first two lore entries and meet The Vast and The Brethren.
The Vast, our home.
As the stars were conquered and new galaxies were charted, one thing was for damn sure: we would get greedy. And so, an eternal battle for resources, territories, a whole lot of empty space, and nothingness eventually began. Every single Federation got into a race for control and power. Power over what? Heavens if I know. Over us, our gold, the stars, over every single planet they discovered, barren as they turned out to be. Everything turned into an asset of power. A race through space to control every single being in it.
And so, mindful fellas like meself, me brothers, and sisters turned our back on the shitstorm of a society we were turning out to be. We drifted away through space, jumping from inhabitable planet to inhabitable planet in the search of something we could call a home. Something that wouldn’t eventually be mined out and drained of its life. Of course, we didn’t find it.
So what do we do? We create our own. We stand our ground on space itself, that whole lot of emptiness that the Federations would only use to transport their precious cargos and their shiny resources. We buckled up and finally built our home.
In an air of grandeur, we called it The Vast. An ever moving space station for all the free folk unwilling to live under the boots of the Union. A place of liberty and free will, where anyone can try their luck to survive in cold space after being blown up by a Union Dreadnought. A place of peace, mind ya.
Brethren of the Vast
As with any modern society, a little order was needed within The Vast’s hull. And so, The Eye of Tehia gave birth to the Brethren of the Vast, created with the single purpose of maintaining a sliver of order within our home. And with the Brethren, The Eye of Tehia started to record The Vast’s history, and the discoveries its inhabitants made in their travels. The Eye slowly evolved from mere survivors of the Tehian Massacre, into an entity of research. Of science! Soon, it became the voice of order within The Vast.
As time passed, more factions developed within our home. Each with its own set of rules and customs. We tried to live harmoniously, without much luck. But a life of conflict and freedom would always beat a life of oppression.
