Guide to Star Citizen Lore - Who's In Charge?

[@unloyal4847]

I find the banu adorable how they find our sports super interesting, thanks for this lore dump!

[@solidxangryjoer4233]

Human, you are very talented at your sport, I will take you and sell you to a place that has very good use in you where you can learn more. NOW come with me there is no way out, you must! -Banu who loves skilled Humans and partially gets them into soft-slavery

[@msihcs8171]

@@solidxangryjoer4233 What do you think we do with skilled athletes in college? Many escape, but many others end up sacrificing their bodies on screen while the team owners toss them a small bit of what they make . . .

[@JoshSweetvale]

The Xi'an have the same thing with MISC. They looked at spindle cargo mounts and went 'holy shit that's a good idea.' While MISC looked at swivel thrusters and thought the same thing. So Aopoa and MISC started collaborating.

[@Anonnymouse53]

At least you know where you stand with the Banu.

[@UNSCPILOT]

Are you profit: If yes, Friend

[@tgdelta]

Can’t say I’ve seen 90% of the Xi’an artwork before this. I love their look.

[@algared6131]

Great summary of the main players in Star Citizen.

[@0nlyRenzo]

I LOVE that someone is doing this. I really heavily enjoy people doing "audiobooks" of the material surrounding the game so I can actually do something while fangirling on this kind of stuff

[@xxCrimsonSpiritxx]

The lore is pretty big too!

[@xander9460]

OUCH Military and Government aren't separated. That's a recipe for disaster. At least if history and present day are any indicator.

[@3dVisualist]

Thanks so much for condensing the lore of Star Citizen into 15mins! It’s videos like this that should be on the official Ark page. So much easier to digest than lots of separate pages there. Am very interested to see the Tevarin video, when competed.

[@crown_magnetar]

I feel like the Banu don't document their history because the writers didn't wanna formulate a convoluted backstory lmao

[@WabbitCrouton]

Ima going to form my own kingdom. Great video as always!

[@MonteKristof]

Great Video!!! The Banu are the artists of Star Citizen!

Im waiting for the Tevarin episode excitedly! ;)

[@nessprime638]

Do you think there's Vanduul that hunt solo, Yautja/Predator style? That would be a great enemy. Loot a bunker just to find all security dead, the elevator is up and you hear the faint sound of footsteps creeping up behind you. Then a nice stabbing animation with a randomly generated custom vanduul knife and that's the last time you tried to grind in bunkers in a System with Vanduul presence

[@TheAstroHistorian]

Vanduul seem to be a pack/tribe species similar to humanity. I don't doubt they might fight solo as they are an individualist species, seeking individual glory but for recognition of their feats among the larger species.

[@eelco8800]

Nice work bringing this info together, makes the game even more immersive 👍🍀

[@xxCrimsonSpiritxx]

This is cool and well illustrated, really good job dude

[@polygonbrother1144]

Excellent as always

[@arnold790609]

Saboball looks EXACTLY like Ender's Game movies training game except it doesn't have a ball.

[@nekomancer4641]

Banu's stance on Sport is the same as mine lmao.

[@elr77]

Love these lore series of videos you put out. Saves me having to wade through thousands of lines of text on spectrum trying to figure out where my character arc sits and so on. Would definitely love to dig more into the politics and economics of the various species, definitely see my character, if we have to play as humans, being more of a centralist and Xi'an leaning personality with a thirst for finding those prize gems like the Banu's. But we'll see as the lore continues to get fleshed out.

[@solidxangryjoer4233]

Ok, Challenge accepted, I am going to make a Vanduul friend!

[@TheAstroHistorian]

Bring a medic.

[@blaqkstar]

I love these breakdowns. Keep up the great work, AstroPub! o7

[@stimcitizen2640]

Excellent job to all that worked on this piece!

[@FoxVelox222]

Love this, need more!

[@mattygalactic2165]

The hits keep coming! Very informative...

[@MooneShadow]

Oh this is good!

[@qbumf]

Man I love this series it makes me feel like I'm actually in it you know?

[@Dark_Silver]

:) I fell in love when I saw how Vandul are living :D ...Imperial march...

[@briaireous]

This is exactly what I've been looking for!

[@dagazrune6453]

Another wonderfully developed video. Thanks!

[@jeffdbaker71]

Thanks for putting things into perspective

[@dark_winter8238]

Excellent video. Thank you. I am sure that took forever to do.

[@ShiryouOni]

Great video! Got me more interested in the lore.

[@Atljeepboy]

That was a fantastic video. I always wanted to know the lore.

[@geologian5066]

What about Jake Souli? (great video as always)

[@begobolehsjwjangan2359]

he is currently detained for an attempt on POTUS's life. he claim that it was Jesus told him to kill POTUS.

[@Underb00t]

Pirate groups would really have a good relationship with the banu. XD

[@Kiladyn]

Love these videos. I want more information about Tevarin from CIG

[@arcadekid1747]

So detailed. So believable

[@Hailexx]

Thank you for using the political compass. Even though "spectrum" was the word you gave it, it is much more accurate to our modern politics than the left-right spectrum.

[@majedmmf]

Great Show man ,, Thanks

[@Hairyloft]

Great vid again thank you.

[@aimlis]

Chock-a-Block with Lore goodness!

brilliant, thanks... 👍

[@jugganaut33]

I’d say 2 galactic wars with the Tavarin are fairly important

[@Baraz_Red]

Much appreciated.

[@wallacehorta]

Great!

Wow your great at these...... very nice... keep it up.... :)

Do we agree that Ryan Gosling would be the ideal casting choice for Messer?

[@sanctred]

Great video gib more :)

[@tacboy78ify]

I'm willing to bet that Xenothreat is receiving Financial backing from the centralist!

enjoyed

[@jomo3564]

It's been great

[@roy8200]

Bravo

[@kawaii_milkshake2160]

I'm simping for the Banu now

[@kolinmartz]

I really wish the aliens in the constellation trailer was canon. I’d love to dunk on some Stone Age aliens.

[@tbird7682]

@TheAstroPub I hope you continue to add to this playlist and expand on the hundreds of systems that are a part of the lore!!

[@TroutBoneless]

Hurston: Banu bad because slavery! We prefer our slavery with extra steps.

[@Cozza69]

The Banu are a very interesting race

[@vicsid9606]

Want me some operation pitchfork!

[@viktorgavorn4635]

didn't know the banu were just chill with child slavery. that sucks.

[@Rebotified]

Is the UEE the federation from star ship troopers lol

[@autistichades5552]

I definitely think that’s what it’s parodying XD

[@jeffdbaker71]

Any word on how that last species looks like?

[@massage1010]

Great

[@reinigen4706]

What about the tevarin ??

[@BaronFeydRautha]

Only because I used to get this wrong all the time as well, it's "imper-ah-der" I used to say "Imper-itor"

[@nikkity5491]

The Nomads are in charge call Trent

[@varadillath4508]

where's the clip from the first few seconds from? is it a trailer?

[@TheAstroHistorian]

Two separate trailers.

[@peterfranzi643]

so when will they add a system with the alien civilizations?

[@TheAstroHistorian]

Before the heat death of the universe/

[@gorganhorn6872]

The Xian Empire and government structure sounds remarkably similar to Emperor Xi Jinping's CCP. lol

[@marakevans3984]

Marathon4. I know a trader who wants me to learn Xi'an and Banu, so that I can do business with them. Docking at Everus Harbor, Hurston, Stanton.

[@samson.galaxy1447]

What about the tevarin

[@TheAstroHistorian]

I did a separate video on them right after this one which goes more in depth with who they are since they aren't really a big player, just a part of the UEE.

[@Glathgrundel]

Tearing?

[@thegrizzly9740]

HUMANITY FIRST

[@jrddoubleu514]

IMO, all species are too humanoid.

[@eelco8800]

I fully agree

[@Nora-io8km]

Osoians are insectoid

[@fm-gamer5617]

Aliens will look similar like humans because of physical law.

[@killerinstinct9954]

Its hard to imagine an advanced alien civilization without the same physical characteristics as humans.

[@Barabel22]

Convergent evolution will presumably mean a humanoid body structure is the most capable of creating a civilization.

[@deejagers716]

what is that "LORE" ?

[@TheAstroHistorian]

Lore is the background universe of any fictional universe, the stuff that the stories of games, tv, and movie franchises sit on top of.

[@lofflof]

A comment for the Comment God.

[@Emperor.of.Mankind]

Fight run or die? I prefere the PURGE !!!!

[@Acekorv]

So all aliens are evil?!

[@autistichades5552]

Everyone’s evil, even the humans are romanticising some forms of fascism with the Civilian-Citizen system, where only people who fight for the UEE’s Military are ever allowed to vote.

[@MarcusJGrey]

Well... this is going to be another channel I'm going to lose hours in....

[@jeffdbaker71]

Dumb question: Will people ever be able to play as other alien races?

[@xxCrimsonSpiritxx]

I remember long time ago that CR said not anytimr soon but possibly in the long long run it's doable Take it with a grain of salt, if it ever comes it'll be at least 10 years from now

[@project.jericho]

Why do they all have two eyes, no nose, and a mouth?

[@autistichades5552]

They aren’t based off apes like we are, I think for example the Xi’an are based of Turtles.

[@equinox5667]

Are there any aliens that learned english?

[@TheAstroHistorian]

UEE Common yes, but English isn't UEE Common. UEE Common is a different language all together it's just easier to describe as English for the majority English speaking audience right now.

[@billmarion5796]

Banu: The only race that's semi-friendly to Humans. And they like slavery. Tevarin: Started a war that they lost. Now they're sad and humans are somehow the bad guys in this. Also lore guys, how did they almost win if they're supposed to be technologically inferior to the UEE? Xian: The tired trope of an arrogant long-lived race that looks down on Humans for being young. God this trope sucks. Kr'Thak: Error 404 Not Found Vanduul: Half the time the lore acts as if these guys are just pirates and raiders and other half as if they're conquerors.

[@xinzlo6101]

Technology doesn’t win wars. Look at Vietnam for example.

[@eparock]

if the banu do not know history than they are doomed to repeat it! not so sure that is smart lore...

[@TheAstroHistorian]

It works for an alien faction I think, they aren't human after all.

[@alungboy3715]

When this game will be free for play? Need more players in this space tho. No more people I can kill. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@andrewsimms70]

Starship trooper knock off

[@TheAstroHistorian]

Sir, are you high?

[@BigSunn0]

350 mil and they cant hire someone with an imagination…humanoid aliens???…that wear human clothes?!?! Wtf?!

[@TheAstroHistorian]

That is a very lazy response to the issue, money isn't really an issue here as much as time. They want these alien ships to be able to be piloted by humans and making them 12 tentacle squid monsters wouldn't allow for that. On top of that trying to tell a story which most people can relate to, especially when it comes to sentient aliens, it's easier to make them humanoid in order to both communicate and emote easier. In the end it's a game, and taking drastic steps to make aliens more 'realistic' (what ever that actually means since we don't know what aliens actually look like IRL if they do exist) makes the game less approachable and harder to develop. Saying they lack imagination is kind of a shit take when you consider the technical aspects of the game they are making.

[@autistichades5552]

@@TheAstroHistorian It’s also very likely that lots of sentient aliens, much like ourselves, are likely to grow humanoid, since our bodies are adapted to support the needs of our ever growing intelligence and gives us everything to survive on Earth.

[@xinzlo6101]

Are you seriously complaining about humanoid aliens. You’re acting like not literally most other sci fi universes pretty much do this, and I would hardly consider the writers of Mass Effect,Star Wars, Star Trek, etc; lazy

[@BigSunn0]

@@xinzlo6101 why would I be a fan of star wars or mass effect?? I literally just made fun of star citizen having chewbacca in it. I'm not into kids fantasy or harry potter or whatever that mass effect garbage is. Star Citizen doesn't even show the galactic plane in space. Like NO ONE working at Star Citizen knows the first thing about space.

[@whoisj]

is @TheAsroHistorian @THE_PILOT? 🤯🤯

[@TheAstroHistorian]

No sadly, though I do talk with them from time to time. The Pilot works for CIG now.
