Are the short stories at the end of the Jump Point issues actual events that have happened in the universe or just for fun?asked by thanatos1973

So, this is something we've been kind of talking internally about and how to balance these really cool stories and the general feeling right now is that they are fictional stories in the universe, like these are stories people in the verse would read about and sometimes they're inspired by true events or real people but its always told kind of like how Dime store novels would be in the Old West that these people would go out and report on real characters out there but it was always sensationalized and drama but it wasn't really based on hard facts, so that's kind of how we're viewing this, it's more about the emotion in the stories than setting a firm timeline.

yeah so it's almost a like speculative fiction of the day to a certain degree where yeah there is definitely a lot of myth making around certain events but some of the people you have read about, adventures in those stories, we'd like to think they are actually alive in our universe and maybe at some point you guys could have encounters with them when you're out there in spaceWW: Yeah but don't take it for like a fact that the banu are building an android army or anything like that, but on the other hand where as these seem more like fictional stories, the news updates we try very hard to be factual and representative of the things that are currently going on in the verse and hitting those stories lines, so those are a little bit more like timeline and fact based.

Yeah, Yeah exactly.
