Original Backstory

[Zukeenee]

Alright, so I suppose that some things are already pretty well explained in the game. Thanks for explaining them, though. I have the the single-player campaign, and I do my best to get rumors from all the bases, but I just can't find them all.

But there are still a few things that I still believed aren't ever explained very well. I wasn't just talking about the Texas Incident and the Founder's Day Revolt; there are plenty of other things that have happened. There were a lot of revolts in each House that created certain pirate groups (I can't remember the exact names of them, though), and a few other events that have brought about revolutions. Like the 80 Years War. I would say that that's the event that I know the most about, because I spend a lot of time in Rheinland. But I'm confused about a few things there, too. I know that Rheinland was once an empire, and now it's a republic. Or, at least, that's what I think. But was this brought about from the 80 Years War, or from something else?

I guess this has kind of gone from a "Where can I find information" topic to a "Can you give me information" topic. Maybe I should just stop asking altogether and start looking around some more.

However, there is another thing that I find important, RP-wise. We know that the date is somewhere around the year 800 AS, but we don't know the exact date of any given day. Such knowledge would be helpful in roleplaying. Unless I'm wrong, and there already is a set date, I propose that we set 800 AS as, say, 2000 AD, so that when we want to give a date, it is based off of standard Earth-time, in present day. So, for example, today would be November 6, 806 AS. Just a thought that I'm throwing out there. I didn't really feel that it merited its own topic, though, so I'm posting it here.
