Lore?

Post by Itharus »

Hi, this may be a silly question, but is there any centralized source for the in-game lore? I've seen information about the planets on the tech-guide thing posted around here (awesome job on that btw!), but I'm curious as to the overall back story - and I have no idea what a Vonari is or looks like, etc. So... where do I find out all this stuff?

Thanks in advance!

I only know what vonari pieces look like. I've never been able to recover an in tact body.


But rumors say they look like dogs.

There is some stuff around, might have to search a bit though.

Here is a bit to get you started.

Thanks, MiaZ! That really helps - I like a bit of role-playing in my sandboxes, so it always helps to know the background of a setting :)

There's an expanded version of the history in the collected short stories book, also available a SeeJay's site:

http://evochron.junholt.se/EvoMercenary ... ection.pdf

Details about the Vonari are classified - there are a few hints here and there about their origins but you'll need to search them out. There are also rumours that SeeJay's upcoming quest will reveal more background as you progress through it. It should be 'published' soon

Right on. Who is SeeJay? Is he the official lore-guy? I know that Vice makes the game, but that's about all I know, lol.

Also: I'm assuming the giant ring around earth from all the screenshots is some sort of defense emplacement... but why can't you land there, and why is there no gate?

Hello Itharus! SeeJay is Clan Lead for the [HB] Clan. He's also rather handy with crafting things like web-sites and Quests. An all-round great guy, who's done a lot of great work to help educate new pilots in the Evoverse. Including, and not limited to, the game information he's made available on those web-sites. Bro Miaz posted one of the links above. The other links are posted in SeeJay's sig bloc, where ever you may find it. Check the Clan [HB] face page, here in the forum slice. All of your back-story questions..... answered they will be. Read The Furnished Material. :)
