Post and discuss theories for Endless Sky.

So about that one uninhabited Hai planet "Darkwaste" , has it been revealed why it has not been settled? Seems quite odd.

[Amazinite]

We don't know anything about it other than the description right now.

Who are these humans that the Kuwaru Efreti Quarg speak of?

My first thought is that the Syndicate took some of their Jump Drives and explored a bit.

Thought: Why did Persitar (that one disconnected system to the east of Korath space) go supernova? On that note, why is there no Archon guarding it, unlike the other three systems that got rekt by supernovae?

Has it occured to anyone else we have no idea where this thing comes from? It's implied the syndicate took it from an alien race like they took jump drives from the korath, but neither they nor any other aliens to date have them. Bizzarely, the syndicate only have one as opposed to 7 jump drives. So what is it? [/quote]
What if the Korath got it from a Pug Arfecta, and the Pug got it from another place in a different galaxy?

"We gave the Alphas most of the alien technology we recovered," he says, "but one device, we managed to keep secret from them. We found it in a Korath cargo hold, and it took us a long time to even figure out how to activate it. But when we did, we discovered that it's a cloaking device. It obscures a ship not just from the visible spectrum, but from radar as well, and every other sensor we've tested except for gravitational ones. I'm certain it would hide you from the tracking systems on the nukes."

tbh, I think the Hai could probably get along fairly well with the Efret, since "Kor Efret" literally translates to "Friendly Korath", which meshes well with the Hai ideals of nonviolence.

are we sure that the Kor Efret are not just "fettered" like the (non-unfettered) Hai?

The Wanderer storyline says that they were a bunch of Korath sick of fighting

and yes it does

What if the Alphas are like the Drak? Like half-organic, half-machine and the government didn't tell the people about the machine part and they lost the files?

[Avior]

Thought (that we may or may not already have discussed): Is the Human-Hai wormhole natural, or artificial (as in, Pug-generated)?

[Ker]

We have been given no information on the subject but have reason to believe that it is a natural stable step-through gate.

but, given the fact that the drak make and prune hyperspace lanes, but arent known to use wormholes, if the Drak wanted to keep the hai from the humans and the pug did not, the pug could get around the Drak pruning by way of a wormhole

[Avior]

Thought: Were the Wanderers originally an independent species that was later "adopted" by the Pug (be it willingly or unwillingly), or were they an "artificial" construction, created (not necessarily by the Pug, mind you) for the purpose of restoring dead worlds? Or was it something else?

[mrluu132]

Are the Archon and Pug equal in political power?
i.e republicans and democrats
