...in the campaign, you see the starmap for various places across the entire galaxy. Remember that they had a hypergate to jump across entire regions. There's no way that their entire species was in Sirius, it seemed Sirius was more of a sandboxing area for the fun of it

Also entirely possible that their physical form wasn't made out of matter but out of energy or anything else.

That's a good point, I've added the star map to my notes. Re-watching the campaign, I JUST got to that part too. I'm tending to believe that they came from somewhere and were in Sirius in a minimal capacity. Your idea that they existed in a different energy than physical is also interesting. I prefer, and it's easier to, imagine them as physical intelligent entities. When I come up with my own head canon, that's probably what I'll do for the sake of simplicity. But it's something worth thinking about!

easier to think of DKV being like the protheans with slightly more psychoesoteric chronozaza and existing billions of years prior. otherwise interpretations of them might create overlapping confusions. nomads already sometimes cause this enough.

Yeah, it is kind of disappointing knowing that they existed hundreds of millions of years ago, if not billions. Any kind of hope of a DKV return is killed by that unless it's retconn'd through head canon or Discovery canon (which I hate). Story should match lore, not the other way around. Good point!

A lot of good shit

You are a godsend, Godslayer... heh. I have lost this document and I'm very glad you posted it. I've used this source in the past when explaining Valhalla 1 on Manhattan and my belief that the artifacts (the little gems) are more or less data cubes to store information. The finding on Planet Manhattan is what lead to Liberty accelerating it's technology so rapidly to have an edge over the other houses. So, to answer your question, I would use any source that is introduce by the creator, Chris Roberts, as canon. If something contradicts this document, or any other documents, with the singleplayer campaign, I think personal preference would be considered our own canon.

It's interesting that Sinclair mentioned "over 10 million years ago". I would have thought she'd make mention about "when we humans were barely single celled organisms" or something to that effect. 10 million feels a lot less than 100 or so on million years. I also struggle with a little bit of contradiction. Most of the artifacts and infrastructure has been found on planets. Besides the dyson sphere and hypergate, there's nothing found in space. For a seafaring race, this seems off. I would like to head canon think that Sinclair, excited about her research, wants to believe that there is so much to unravel in Sirius with the thought that this was home for them. I don't think this is the case, there's not enough evidence to support that Sirius was a major region for the DKV.

Thank you all for the information share so far! I have some things to chew on and think about.
