In august's blog "A True and Accurate History of the Persean Sector" :
1- what are "sporeships" and what "seedships"?
2- what are "fusion lance"s?
3- "FTL technology" refers to space-hyperspace travel (or Gates or else)?
4- "KL Device" = gate?
5- How do the gates move ships? FTL-metro like(go in move inside subdimension, go out) or wormhole-like(gate1 connects to gate2, instant threshold/transfer)
6- Gates allow communications?
7- why did BG-XIV leave the "transfer point"? why did BG-VI leave without checking on BG-XIV, did they leave any ship/personel behind?
8- they took 48 years to reach the Sector, yet there weren't any trace of Domain authority?
9- Did Tri-Tachyon deploy the AI warfleets offensively? (like what jumped into theyr minds?)
10- Warlord Loke gets "former Domain military warships" is it so easy? what kind of ships?
11- What CP stands for in "CP-carbines", Capacitor Pulse?
12- What is the Player Character doing at the start of the game - in the Galatia system, low on suplies, and especially with the fleet pointing outward(from the center of the system) even from the debris field ?
p.s. if anybody answers please don't (or similar) to questions: better skip them
Thank you for your attention
I'll try to answer these as best I can, I'm not too savvy on the lore though.
1. Sporeships and Seedships refer to the terraforming and colonization fleets that the Domain sent out prior to the Collapse. From the names I'd guess that 'Sporeship' refers to some form of bacterial or fungal cargo that could be used in atmospheric improvements or setting the building blocks for a natural biosphere, while a 'Seedship' might carry the plant and animal life intended to inhabit a terraformed world.
2. Fusion Lance might just be a generic term for an energy weapon, if the context of the quote is anything to go by.
3. 'FTL' here refers to both the Gate System and Hyperspace drives, as the Domain used both to establish their empire.
4. 'KL device' seems to refer to Hyperspace drives, as it indicates that it was used to spread the gates further than possible prior. The Luddic quote refers to an 'Unholy Road' which had to be 'opened' which would most likely mean Jump points and Hyperspace as a whole.
5. No clear answer is given, but I'd put my money on it being a Wormhole-like point-to-point gateway. The artwork regarding gates mostly portrays it has fleets passing instantly from one system to another with no intervening steps.
6. Going off the answer in point 5, an active gate permits anything to pass through from one system to another instantaneously, which would include communication signals. There may be some lore not yet disclosed that explains that all gates could receive all signals transmitted to it at all times (which would explain how systems only have one gate and yet could connect to the wider Domain).
7. The 'Transfer point' might not have been inhabited, or it might not have had the industrial capacity to support an entire Battlegroup at one time. Domain standard procedure in the event of gate failure may been to immediately fall back to the nearest Naval Base and await further orders. Had they stayed in place the fleet might not have survived, especially considering we know the gates don't come back online. As for Battlegroup VI, their orders were to leave the Persean sector entirely, so they would have taken everything with them on the way out. There was also a lore blurb that BG XIV was being punished by their rotation to the Persean sector, so they might have had a poor reputation among the rest of the Domain military (thus, BG VI might not have wanted anything to do with XIV).
8. The Persean sector was a frontier on the Domain, so there may not have been any sort of 'Standard' Domain Authority present. In addition, with BG VI departing, any vestige of Domain authority may have gone with them.
9. Tri-Tachyon was originally a megacorporation, and might not have had the manpower that a more formalized faction could bring to bear in the event of conflict. In addition, their specialization was specifically the development and utilization of AI, so using them as a supplement to manned warships would have been a perfect force multiplier for an undermanned corporation trying to secure their space (in addition to the typical moral flexibility of corporate leadership).
10. Many of the early power-players in the sector were former Domain officials or Naval officers. Locke might just have been an officer who broke off from BG XIV and decided to use his forces for his own ends.
11. That I can't answer, your guess is as good as mine.
12. No specific lore reason, it helps set up the tutorial.
Hope that helps.
