Lore
Welcome to the lore page!

Please note that Lore is a collaborative effort by the community's writers to create a more engaging world outside the metal husk we call a space station. The purpose of lore is not to reinforce or otherwise encourage hatred or exclusion between players, or groups of players. Please note that all lore contained herein are not OOC rules and are expected to be the framework on top of which you make your character, and tell your story. At the end of the day, we want you to be able to create a character you enjoy-- lore should not get in the way of that.
