I love the Loremaker's guide section, you and the other Loremakers have been doing. 1) Will we eventually see a Loremaker's Guide for every system? 2) Have you found any holes in the Galactapedia which required additional lore written? If so, can you share any examples and have you specifically written any lore?asked by Algared

The answer to that is "Yes, we are absolutely trying to do every system." There are quite a few systems that we have yet to cover so we should be doing this for a while now. We'll continue to take turns giving our own perspectives on the systems. I usually like to cover the sciency angles, Will and Dave and Adam like to cover the lore aspect, and Adam will often sneak in some good science stuff. And I think we all work together very well as a unit, being able to discuss all these systems. And we ... we just want to do this until we're satisfied that the systems are as fleshed out to you as they they are to us.I specifically have written some lore. I was part of the team that create the descriptions that are currently in the Starmap. As there are hundreds of descriptions I can't say off the top of my head which ones I did write, because there's just so many of them. But I can say that I wrote all the descriptions for the moons of Terra and the moons of the Caliban system because those are something ... some things that I did very recently. So you can look that up and know that's ... that came from me. That was me!And I've also had some hand ... a hand in some lore that has yet to be released. Ooo! Mystère ... so interesting.

Would you say you're the hand of god ...

Ah, no.

... for the galaxies?

Well in the galaxies I am akin to that.And not all systems have been fully developed. Also there are systems that we have yet to create. And there are holes that remain to be filled to answer that part of your question.

Black holes?

There is a black hole.

Awesome.

In Tamsa.

Fantastic.

It's good.

What's your favourite, like, thing in space. Black holes, stars, planets, moons? What do you like? If you have to write a description for something what's your favourite thing to write a description for?

I really like talking about stars.

Stars?

Stars and general, like, the lifecycle of stars.

What's you're favourite type of star?

I really like the red dwarves because are everywhere. They are the most populous star that we know of. They last, as far as we know, forever: we've never seen one burn out. They're very small and they try very hard and they're good candidates for life and the cool planets that can be around them, like ... like Horus for example. I was big on pushing for the creation of Horus as a system that had a planet that was tidally-locked to the red dwarf so there was life around the solar terminator.

Right.

Yeah.

Very cool.

I thought that was pretty cool. I just like so many things. I like nebulae and galaxies. I like black holes. I like the cool diamond planets that we've been finding that are kind of related to the stellar cores that I was discussing earlier. Oh man, I like that there ... our solar system as far as we know is very different from almost all the solar systems that we've seen. I love that we are in the young childhood of the exoplanet discovery planet ... exoplanet discovery phase of NASA, like Kepler is doing such a great job thousands of exoplanets have been discovered through the persistent efforts of a very, very few people. It's just a really wonderful time. I can't believe that the first exoplanet was only confirmed in like 1995. That's absurd. That's such a short time ago.

Yeah, it was.

We have so much left to discover. It's wonderful.

Yeah. So that's fantastic.

That was a bit tangential but thank you for asking me that question. It was really fun.

Alright. No thank you for the answer. That was wonderful.
