Nova Sector lore
Nova Sector lore
Nova Sector is a roleplay server and we feature our own lore to help players get their footing on the server. Our (in-progress) lore can be found below!
Important: When reading the lore, please remember that it is a living document written by volunteers. The lore will never be comprehensive, as the goal is to provide a sturdy backdrop for characters to be fleshed out from, and as a backdrop for in-game affairs in Nova Sector.
Additionally, the lore is being released in sizeable chunks and updates, in an attempt to balance "providing something to the players they can use immediately" and "taking the time to write a comprehensive, internally-consistent setting." On the Discord, the #lore-update channel has a roadmap with approximate dates for predicted updates. Even once the roadmap is completed, the lore is likely to continue to change in smaller ways for years to come.
We put great care into making a lore environment where people can come to us and ask questions, as well. All sorts of feedback including, 'I don't like this,' 'Can I discuss something I want to add to the lore?' and 'I have an alternate suggestion for this piece of lore' are all more than valid. We care about making a setting that's fun for us and fun for the players, and our efforts thrive off collaboration. If there's something in the lore that would negatively impact your character and you're interested in discussing it, please hit us up!
Work in Progress: Footer subject to change at a moment's notice. Do not take a red link's presence, struck-through or otherwise, as confirmation (or denial) of their canonicity.
