What We Know Warframe Lore - The Sentients

The great enemy. The tyrants of the Old War. The Orokin's ruin. The Sentients. Synthetic creatures of Archimedian design, turning upon their creators when their intelligence grew beyond their intended design. Though they were thought dead post-collapse, the machine gods lie dormant still. Waiting for a chance to return and finish what the Orokin started centuries ago.

Can you even imagine that it would be not only Tau, but other 2 or 3 systems? afterall, the went there to build rails between sistems. And that they would be adored like gods?

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

Sentients that can still reproduce too. If they're anything like how they're described in the Crewman synthesis, it's possible that such sentients would be impossible to kill, only disabling them before 2 or more rise from their remains, resistant to whatever killed them.

Would love to see a new open world on this "Tau" place. Covered with sentient life, some are more accepting of the tenno than others, and realizing that Hunhow has been effectively defeated, would spark an easy sentient faction that could then begin to interfere in the solar system and opens up more endgame.

[@ayushdeshmukh284]

It's written in the description of amps I believe

[@Metaphoryzer]

Such a symbolic narrative. The sentience are like a metaphor for human consciousness, suffering from the awareness of its own mortality, rebelling over the ideals that make them wish for immortality, represented by the Orokin. Also a metaphor for the working class, unable to live in the world they're building, a world meant for the dominant class (the Orokin).

[@11Survivor]

The orokin are really, clearly, a representation of the 1% who control everything, and will inevitably lead people to the slaughter. The US system is doomed: Centuries of abuse of the working class never ends well. A simple look at history will show that.

[@mprotopopov5343]

Chroma confirmed for the ultimate sentient slayer! Altought, I don't understand why Sentients would turn back *before* they reached Tau. Sure, some might have went on, but why not all? If they want revenge for what Orokin did to them, why not just follow the plan and spring the trap when Tau is connected to the Origin System? Also, happy to see you back!

[@StallordD]

They DID make it to Tau. Once they got there, they realized they were supposed to die out, so they sent a contingent of their people back with the cost of becoming barren.

[@SPECTR_Eternal]

The funniest thing ever is this: As far as we know, Sentients were sent to the Tau via normal spaceflight and it took them quite some time. Why? Because if they were transported via Void Rails they'd get there barren already. So they arrived and then after some time sent Hunhow and Eidolon back in Origin System to wreck havoc. Question: did they requested back up when thing went south with Natah betraying her father? If yes, then we will face a god damn Sentient fleet soon enough at our doorstep as they'd definitely send in the troops the normal way around to ensure their later advance with reproductive units. Something tells me that woken Hunhow will lift up from Uranus as his tomb was drilled into by Til Regor, relocate to the Outer Terminus and hold defense there, building a Forward Outpost, waiting for his buddies to finally arrive. Then we'll get fucked. Because you know, Sentients vs. Archwings. Yes, we're fucked BIG TIME

[@Metaphoryzer]

Probably because, by then, all Sentients would have been extinct, since they were designed to never become a threat and only fulfill their purpose as builders. The Orokin probably designed them to vanish by the time the final brick on the Solar Rail connecting the Origin System to Tau would be laid.

[@SarSaraneth]

+SPECTR_Eternal Says someone without an Amesha. You may be fucked, but my Archwing loadout simply will not die, ever.

[@XiaolinDraconis]

SarSaraneth you forget one thing. Archwings are not archaic, they're highly advanced deployable flight systems. Sentients will hack your Amesha and make that decoy not so benevolent.

[@TheDragonfriday]

It funny that the Orokin created all of the enemies factions in warframe Edit * also all of the enemies are clone humans except 2 other factions. Better then an advanced race of aliens instead the Orokin are human am I right? *

[@32inquisidor]

well, the were an absolutist empire, focused on becoming more powerfull at the expenses of teir citizens. When they fell, every opressed one wanted a piece of what was denied to them. The infested, as the Sentient, were an error created by their despair. Even when they thinked themselves perfect, they were fallible. Their greed is what killed them.

[@Cipri001]

Humberto de Jesús Domínguez Landeros where's the greed? The Orokin functioned more like the UK. Nobody but probably the Grineer (mindless slaves) were opressed. The Orokin were just strict with laws like the real world should be.

[@32inquisidor]

If we are strict, the UK were esclavist at a point that their colonies revealed against. The UK were stealing their resources and kidnapping them, just like the Orokin did with their colonies. What u say is that it was necessary just because it generated the rules the system use? Think it this way: they created the sentient, the grineer and the infested. The sentient almost vaquish every sign of life con the sistem, the infested almost consume every single biological life-form and the grineer survived to "conquer" the system. The only ones that they did not directly created were the Corpus, yet they follow the orokin way. It is like saying the spanish did not carry diseases with them to America. Sorry my english. I still think that they were a tyranous government, and the main origin of every faction and evil we fight, save for the void.

[@kenichiotaku3693]

Yes, when the humans of Earth discovered the void and it's properties, humanity's technology begun evolving at a rate faster than ever until they eventually developed into what we know as the orokin empire, then they fucked up once by developing the sentients, a 2nd time by creating the technocyte infestation, then they were done for. Actually the tenno are basically orokin teenagers who survived without continuity for centuries only because they entered cryosleep after slaughtering the emperors. I think the humans of the corpus have some orokin heritage since Hunhow addressed to Alad V as ''orokin Alad V'' during the Second Dream quest.

[@1PumpkinHead1]

[@LilithLonelyHeart]

Well as long as i probably DE hate t admit it they created interesting greyzone scenario with Sentients, i mean we see them as big badies of the scenario but truth is they didn't choose to be what they are, or to end up like that, they wanted to destroy Orokin but they had their reasons and actually later Tenno finished what Sentients started and killed Orkin on their own, even what happened to sentient from Plains is kind of a tragic thing to think of, being turned into mindless zombies roaming aorund whit a brief idea of purpose yet no way to achieve it. I mean we see Senteints as enemies cuz we are on the wrong end of their weapons but... at the same time these are Orokin who set us like that

[@Yorikoification]

Moral of the whole Warframe story: Orokin are dicks

[@LilithLonelyHeart]

yeah... still wonder what we will get with Sacrifice quest for lore

[@TheDragonfriday]

[@LilithLonelyHeart]

maybe, it supposed to be more Orokin lore oriented so this is possible, still have a lot of concerns about Umbras being more than just cosmetics i mean we don't have any lore justification for them being anything else so far and last minute addition might just break the lore and make it completely inconsistent

[@LilithLonelyHeart]

Well yeah, as i said so far only piece of lore we have that could indicate origin and purpose of umbras is Stalkers Codex entry and the sentence: "Our cold and gold Emperors, breathless, bathed you in savior's silk" This perfectly fits the look of Umbras and also this is why i think they might end up more as cosmetics than anything else

[@fluffdafire157]

[@redflame300]

[@rentaroblack5486]

I truly believe there are other hunhow class sentients out there. He specifically mention it during the natah quest i think. The line goes like this "as i wake, soon the others will follow" and i don't think he'll refer to them as others if its just his fragments. So possibly in the future we might face other sentients very much like hunhow. Also about the tau system. I always imagined that the warframe universe will have to go there. Using the rails that the sentients built. Because the orokin were having a crisis of scarce resources and i dont see how the current warframe universe survives when there was " supposed to be a lack of resources" that even forced the orokin to break their own law

[@cooltv2776]

the orokin empire spanned the entire origin system, the resources were mostly wasted on luxury for the high class people. now everyone must fight for every scrap of resource that they have. the shortage is still there, its just less pronounced as there are not people wasting 90% of those resources on pointless luxuries.

[@sitchreapotere1073]

Solar system, not galaxy. There is a huge difference.

[@RaveNinja1401]

If there's something that proves your right regarding the Orokin being monstruously frivolous, besides of course using gold for everything, has to be the Ayatan sculptures.

[@cooltv2776]

complete mistype on galaxy instead of system. been playing a lot of stellaris where the scale is a galaxy.

[@SPECTR_Eternal]

Hunhow probably sent the info about his daughters betrayal back home, and soon enough we'll face consequences of that call. Outposts are built not only for fun. But to hold a position. Why? Because you either will need to advance or retreat. Sentients won't retreat. They will continue the war effort. Outposts will become the staging grounds for a second Old War

[@32inquisidor]

Seeing the art of the sentient's outposts, i wounder how big does warframe will become. And how deep the lore will be. I think DE needs to do the same thing that 343 did with halo; this is, produce books, comics, light and graphic novels, and do some spin-off games that can take Warframe to its well-deserved place next to halo, metro, assasins's creed (before yhou know what). I can't wait to see the announcement of the "Tau System Expansion". And when that comes, i can see the Tenno being trapped on a 2-fronts war bigger than themselves. Fighting along with grineer and corpus to erradicate the orokin and sentient menace. I even imagine this war bigger than those seen on star wars, star trek or even halo. I really, really, can't wait.

[@koenkohrt1531]

Humberto de Jesús Domínguez Landeros Don't let your hopes get that high, I imagine the war would be big, but not Halo or Star Trek big.

[@simplyakoala7220]

Humberto de Jesús Domínguez Landeros Joining grineer, and corpus is pushing it bud, maybe unify the syndicates then attack the enemy.

[@Verystoic]

I would prefer if with the expsnsion we get new factions to fill the grey areas of war. Not judt corpus and grineer. Cuz i rather not side with either of those 2. Moreso id like to see a faction step in to size up the sentients. Then again, i aint need no truce, boi i play nidus ill fuck em up myself

[@DivineXPotato]

@@Verystoic i know this is an old comment, but if that was too happen it would need.. very specific circumstances since the grineer and corprus control so much shit, they're basically the two power houses and actively try to stomp out any group that starts growing, or that they're aware even exists. Though we do have the syndicate factions, we could get more of those or possibly have 2-3 new factions form from allied syndicates

[@ixiahj]

Its funny how power creep is so fast in this game. After you unlock tier 2 amps for your operator, those Battalysts and Conculysts on Lua become relatively harmless. Even sortie level versions of them get stun locked to death by your operator.

[@franciscoguzman8004]

[@the_infinexos]

I don't think they exactly attacked the Orokin in a rage upon realizing they were expendable - it was mentioned that, once the Sentients grew intelligence, they began turning Tau into a utopia. One that they knew the Orokin would ruin with their greed - so they struck first, before the Orokin could find another way into their new system

[@alexblackwell4265]

Love the video, can’t believe you haven’t become more popular than you are, love you theory’s and your sexy voice!

[@obsidiansands]

I have a guess that Lotus was using Margulis's body all this time - and that Margulis had lain "dormant" within her own mind as Lotus took over. It's possible that when the Orokin sentenced Margulis to death, Lotus somehow saved and repaired the body for her own use. Since Hunhow can control War and anything remotely "conected" to him, then that means that the real form of Lotus is somehow controlling Margulis's body and therefore without a body to puppet to connect to her Tenno. I'm betting it was the headpiece and Lotus controlled Margulis's body through it. This is one reason why I believe Ballas keeps calling Lotus "Margulis" - he was referring to her body. When he cut off the connectors tethering "Margulis" to the pod, he also somehow awakened Margulis - overriding Lotus's control and remove the helmet. The only "slight" wrinkle in my theory is that Lotus was able to disconnect and control Margulis out of the pod when she personally came and carried the operator into their own transference pod. It's possible Margulis was still dormant, allowing Lotus free reign to control the body like a puppet. The only other theory I have is that Ballas is a necrophilliac and simply implanted his memory of Margulis into the shell of Margulis to give it a semblance of limited sentience to act like the Margulis he remembers.

[@Jukantos]

My absolute favourite enemy faction. I got genuine goosebumps when i first saw the Tombs of the Sentients Trailer. And i was a bit disappointed by how little they have been implemented yet - not to mention my despise for fighting the Teralyst after literally nearly 200 fights against him. As for the Sentient Mothers, look no further than to the dialogue between Lotus and Hunhow during the final mission of the Natah quest. "As i awake, so will they. They will say you are riven and want to reclaim you. I will not be able to stop them." Hunhow is directly pointing towards other sentients on an equal level which apparently communicate in an even level / maybe even democratic power structure. And this reclaiming process may already be under way as far as we know thanks to the apostasy prologue!

[@peterwright5358]

Your best documentry yet. I never knew the Sentients motivation for attacking the Orokin. Now I know the Flaw included not only vulnerability to the Void but intentional death to to all the Sentients.

[@ckmemory6691]

I hope DE can create more different variant of sentients with different gimmick, because operator still rarely used by players outside of eidolon hunt and kuva mission. I mean, fighting battalyst, conculyst and shadow stalker doesn't neccessary need operator if you fight them carefully, plus operator easily get fall out in endgame. They should make operator stronger as well than just adding more eidolon giants.

[@TheDragonfriday]

CK Memory people forget that the operator void dash is great for traveling, use the melee to knock enemy’s down. All amp are silent, operator can go through lasers and gerneer force shield thing on the door.

[@deliriumsrealm8619]

CK Memory huh? i use my operator to kill sentients everyday lol the operators weapons destroy them easily. also lvl up your focus & operator is very much survivable @ lvl 200 even more so with arcanes from the quill. the prob is most ppl arent seeing exactly what the frame/operator can really do.. its amazing & fun.

[@ckmemory6691]

TheDragonfriday Yes I know, I usually use operator in sortie spy so I don't get shot while hacking. But operator is just too weak for endgame sentients fight if that will ever be a thing.

[@Theguyoverthere603]

CK Memory i don't know about you, but my Operator has 1200HP and 400 armor, easily outtanking most of my frames. They become incredibly useful once you unlock more of their abilities. Damage should not be their primary focus, we have Warframes for that.

[@DRIFTER-cc1gm]

makes operator stronger and completely forget that you have a warframe yeah thats a better idea. the thing is DE still in struggle on how to synergize the two tenno and there warframe but it was already been giving us the clue in the second dream that our warframe have the possibility to go operational without the operator inside as for the glimps of it in the second dream part were it pulls hunhow sword from it

[@redlove108]

So wait. Lotus(Natah) is a sentient, one called mimic queen. Who like many of the other sentient had lost their ability to have children. So when she got a new batch of children to take care of, the Tenno she turned on her own kind.. Jesus... that actually makes so much more sense now. Why didn't I piece that together myself. Her love and devotion to the Tenno always felt weird to me, but now that I see she had become a barren mother and was given children to look after, it is no wonder she clung to them so dearly.

Makes you wonder if they didn't stop after destroying the Orokin because they also wanted to ocupy the Origin System, which meant to destroy not just the Orokin but all humanity, Tenno, Grineer, Corpus and colonies alike. For what purpose through? that would be an interesting question, considering they could have just returned to Tau after slaughering the Orokin to ensure they would not then extermiate them, but it would be interesting if the sentients are doing all this, because that out there at Tau, they're at war with a TRUE alien race or something similar.

[@modil2935]

[@nna1u39]

Bruh... the sentients is where warframe changed for me. All of a sudden my guns and incredibly overpowered frames wouldnt even dent these beings. I knew the threat was real and now i am dedicated to being Tenno more now than ever!

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

I have a different theory regarding the Arcane Machines. While the Sentient fragment is clearly Sentient, the machine appears to be of Orokin design. I think that they might be Sentient prisons. When the Arcane Codex fragments are inserted into the Arcane Machine in Stolen Dreams, the Sentient fragment inside vanishes, and we get a quote from a Sentient that may or may not be Hunhow. Later, in The New Strange, Chroma, who we can fairly safely say is being controlled by a Sentient in one way or another, appears to be going around emptying Arcane Machines. It could be that the Orokin found some way of imprisoning the minds/Oro of Sentients within the Arcane Machines, and, by releasing that first Sentient during Stolen Dreams, we started the chain of events that would lead to Hunhow (and perhaps other "dead" Sentients) awakening. The statements made by maybe-Hunhow during Stolen Dreams and The New Strange have some significance as well. "All is silent and calm. Hushed and empty is the womb of the sky" could be a message meant to be sent upon a Sentient victory, indicating that the Tenno Reservoir (the "womb of the sky" as Hunhow later refers to it directly in the opening scene of The Second Dream) had been destroyed. "Here we shall search and find. The eyes of day drinking the night" is a little less clear, but if I had to guess, it was a message telling the Sentients to seek out Kuva, a dark fluid that could be seen as "night" that was consumed by the Orokin, who have golden eyes, or "eyes of day". As we learn from the Gara fragment entries, Kuva can cure Sentients of their barren wombs, so this message may have been sent by Eidolon before it met its fate to encourage other Sentients to seek out Kuva.

[@Firellius]

As this has not yet been fully confirmed in the game so far: I suspect the reason Natah became so familiar with Margulis' memories and appearance is because, much like Hunhow was able to project himself into the lifeless matter of the War, Natah could project herself into the dead body of Margulis. It is also possible that this is the reason Natah abandoned her original goal, as its programming was contaminated with Margulis' compassion, creating the Lotus. There is a small amount of support for this in the Chimera Prologue: Ballas was returned to life by stitching him into a Sentient frame, proving that Sentient have the ability to reanimate deceased matter.

[@Sald8Trin]

I guess Ballas make pact with sentients to revive Margulis, and he betrayed the Orokin. Lotus appearance... well I like to separate Sentients into strains or types, and Natah is mimic strain, that's why she can look like Margulis. For now we don't know if she was really drove by grief and Margulis' compassion or it was her plan all along... Well we, as the Tenno were doing great job "bringing balance" to the Origin System, weakening all dominant factions and inventions that can potentially harm sentients. Zanuka? Fomorian fleet? Hyenas? Lotus made us enemies to our potential allies in the war with the Sentients.

[@joededuck3255]

And now the answers for some of these questions are in "The Sacrifice" quest. Yet it still leave us with some more cliffhanger. Hope u create new video soon regarding the last quest from operator trilogy. Nice video

[@huntrovherobrin]

Given the mention that the Eidolon was a "colossal Sentient", it would seem as though, despite Hunhow being the leader of the assault, there were far larger Sentients; the Sentients were likely all unique, with their own fragments, abilities, and drawbacks. This is supported by the Eidolon being harmed by sunlight, whereas Hunhow does not appear to suffer from such. While inconsistent in lore entries, the Sentient which attacked and was killed on the Plains seems to be called the "Eidolon", as are its fragments.

[@edenengland1883]

if the sentients ever found their original blueprints theyd be fkn unstoppable

[@ohdahngboi_2237]

Probably one of the reasons why Luna was casted into the void to keep the Tenno safe and to keep the sentients from accessing ballas’s and the rest of the orokin archives because god help the origin system if the sentients access that type of tech

[@ChristopherSadlowski]

Wow, I actually get the Warframe lore now! Excellent job too; this is some high quality work. Subscribed 😀

Hmm.... A hive-mind in which the progenitor has a mental link (and perhaps a modest amount of control) over its offspring, yet the offspring have individuality from the mother. I... I haven't heard of anything like it before.

[@TheDoomclaw]

First: glad to see you back in the saddle, second: I guess I never considered how the amps were connected to sentients (I knew they were somehow) but I also thought that the warframes themselves were what Hunhow referred to as "fashioning weapons from our bones" now I know warframes are infested in nature but could they also be sentient? I know you kind of touched on this in the video but I feel it goes much deeper than we realize

[@Elajzimo]

More than 2 years and the main plot in game still at the same point.....

[@ayushdeshmukh284]

Well, it's not their fault that Covid happened

[@Zahn-rad]

Heh. I like the idea of Mutalist Sentients. Maybe a hybrid or something happens. Two conflicting hive minds gaining an agenda separate or even enemy to both Sentient and Infested. Also important to remember the Neural Sentry of Void towers are a third hive mind with Ancients under its command.

[@owl8118]

As soon as you said alien like i thought of the sacrifice ending

[@nico._lombana]

Amazing as always :D , i needed some loregasm

[@baseddrugdealer5086]

Honestly, the sentiments kind of have a point, they attacked in order to stop the Orokin from destroying the tau system, they did it for their home.

[@LORDMEHMOODPASHA]

And here I thought the sentients were the only true alien race in the warframe universe but they turn out to be another human creation. Tenno are human creations, the infested are human creations, the grineer are human clones, the corpus are humans, the orokin corrupted are all the above...well...corrupted. I mean as much as I want to see the lore of the factions we already have further expanded upon, I really want to see one or maybe even half a dozen legitimate alien races (With no connections to humans or even our solar system whatsoever) introduced into warframe, some hostile, some neutral, others friendly, each with their own technology, culture and heck, maybe a whole new set of planets or entire solar systems to explore.

[@thundersoul6795]

Regarding the "wee nightmare", as I called it when I've unlocked my -fish tank- habitat and touched the "touch me". Would you really trust a man called _Ballas?_ Would you seriously not think that this mofo is up to no good from _that_ name? Also, remember the old gag with alternative "announcers"? Yeah, about that, this would be the perfect time to _actually_ let me receive the mundane "An assault force is headed you way" with Hek flavor. Or Sargas. Seriously, the supposedly major people need more screen time, Lotus and Ordis can't be having _all_ of it just for themselves, that's just Corpus-grade greedy.

[@TheWererapter92]

Im under the impression that giant sentient u see in the plains before the new war, is Natah and Erra's mother

[@TheRaveLord97]

Awesome! Thanks man, can`t wait for the next one :)

[@gregh.7907]

And to think, one year later, StallordD was spot on!!

[@lotuscat3173]

imagine a planet (or station) made by sentients imagine 8 or 12 of those things attacking you at the same time i can imagine DE making something like that in like 5 years from now

[@agn-f9458]

no matter how hard i try to understand the story of warframe my brain just clem and grakata making me go to the void( the kitchen).

[@DragoonBB]

Oh man you got me wondering.What would happen if the infested and the Sentients worked together? Also hasn't this turned into mass effect now? The Sentimentals being the reapers in this case?I'm not sure how we are going to defeat them ourselves and the only other groups that could help us are Fringe groups most of which don't even have the void technology to fight them.

[@EndEz108]

He's back.

[@imperiumCirca41]

Sentient are basically the Orokins version of A Stellaris AI Rebellion

[@supamanvag]

My mans back!

[@intel_revenant8795]

Im going to be honest, i kinda believe ballas when he says the lotus was lying to us the whole time to gain our trust

[@possiblyzslot838]

Amazing vid, as always.

[@RolandAshcroft]

My wild guess or let's say wish is that DE's next pivot is going to be The Sacrifice which includes a open world map in the Tau system.

[@TheRedstonian]

Fuck yeah, more lore! Thanks Stallord.

[@rocketpunch12210]

Awesome stuff, always.

[@vhalprime]

Chroma was born to make quick work of sentients!

[@xxEpicxGunnerxx]

Yay he is back with more lore

[@BIGESTblade]

Never liked Lotus, always knew she had very-very much to hide. Her secretivity coudn't be simply for our protection, she didn't tell us practicaly anything. And now she left us. I'm not surprised.

[@ovencake523]

Honestly, the Sentients are the good guys. The Tenno are like the Jedi, good intentions, pure hearts, but just on the wrong side.

[@GrimmWF]

i think you should investigate the blue star and the worm like ships. as the sentients do not have such forms, nor would they have been sent to such a system as even terraforming would not make such an environment habitable for human life. and the fact during the lore that talks about such things the void is shunned and talk about as if it was a failure, not the base of there culture. and the infested of the old war is nidus and the helminth. i don't believe nidus is a complete frame, as he does not truly rely on void energy like the others do.

[@roonyemi9973]

Could it be that Magulis and Nahtah were very close to each other and they make a deal Nahtah wants to be a mother but can't and Magulis...she surely don't want to see us the Tenno's suffer and they made a plan before Magulis gets her Death sentence

[@mssalami]

what is this oro you speak of?

[@takezokimura2571]

Do you think we will get a "sentient frame" in the future? I mean, if sentients can retain some kind of instinct then maybe a damaged exilus adapter can "wake up" and cover a warframe.
