With the release of the Gamepass version, many players began to roam the Unified Systems. So what do we need to know before Starfield Story?
It wasn’t long before man’s space adventure began. However, considering the developing technology and the years to come, we wonder how far we can go in this endless universe. Although we will not see those days, movies, books or games continue to affect our imagination. One of the most exciting examples of this is undoubtedly Starfield. It’s easy to say, we finally got this new universe created by Bethesda after 25 years. Alright Starfield Story What happened in this universe before?
Starfield Story – What Happened Before the Game?
Starfield takes place in a region called the Embedded Systems that extends 50 light-years out of the solar system. We will see the effects of a great war called Colonial War in the game. 20 years after this war, we will set sail on this adventure as a member of an organization that makes space explorers. So what happened in the universe before the Starfield story set in 2330? Here is Bethesda released a history chart where it reveals key milestones. Our timeline begins 27 years from now.
2050 – We set foot on Mars for the first time in 2050, which is the most important stop of mankind after the Moon. By the year 2100, people are slowly starting to establish colonies in space.
2156 – By 2156, light-year distances are beginning to be exceeded. On this date, humanity reaches Alpha Centauri, the star system closest to the sun, located 4.37 light years away from the Earth.
Starfield Story
2159 – When we come to the year 2159, United Colonies, one of the biggest unions of the game, is established. United Colonies will appear as one of the two settled colonies in the Starfield world and also as a faction with the strongest military force of humanity.
2160 – Just a year later, New Atlantis, one of the largest cities in the game, becomes the official capital of the United Colonies.
2167 – 2167 is one of the important dates for Starfield. On this date, someone named Solomon Coe goes to the Cheyenne system and establishes the city of Akila, the first settlement in this system.
Starfield Story
2188 – Exactly 21 years from now, Solomon Coe invites the Volii system to form a new alliance called the Freestar Collective. The city of Neon, which we can call the capital of the Volii system, which has 6 planets and five moons, is located on the planet called Volii Alpha, which is at the center of the system. With the participation of Volii, who did not refuse this invitation, another powerful faction of the game was established in 2189.
2194 – When we come to the year 2194, we see that the United Colonies have deployed a space station, the Clinic Star Station, into the orbit of the planet Deepala in the Narion system. We can say that this event has the effect of the murder of Austria-Hungary Prince Franz Ferdinand in the Starfield universe and ignites the events. The neutral population in the Narion system viewed this move by the United Colonies as an attempt to expand their borders and demanded that the station be removed. After this request was rejected, the people of Narion joined the Freestar Collective with a vote and the alliance took action in 2195 to protect the Narion system.
2196 – In 2196, in response, the United Colonies send a fleet to the Narion system, and with this move, the Narion War breaks out.
Starfield Story
2216 – This war, which started to control the Narion system, lasts exactly 20 years. This war, which scares the resources, naturally annoys the people of both sides. In 2216, the two sides sit at the table and the Treaty of Narion is signed. The United Colonies acknowledge that Narion is under Freestar control. This agreement is also instrumental in the officialization of the term Embedded Systems, which names the universe of the game.
2221 – Five years after the signing of the agreement, Freestar creates the Freestar Rangers, an elite security and investigative force serving all its citizens.
2275 – In 2275, the Constellation organization is founded by Sebastian Banks. We can say that this organization, which was established with the aim of solving the mysteries of the galaxy, was established for space exploration. A center called Lodge is being established in the city of New Atlantis to serve the members of the organization.
Starfield Story
2305 – Barrett, one of the important names we will encounter in the game in 2305, joins Constellation.
2307 – In 2307, Freestar collective starts farming on the planet Vesta in the Lunara system. The United Colonies, who said “Well, that’s enough peace”, must have been jealous of the harvest that came out, because just one year later, they claim that the Treaty of Narion was violated. After the diplomatic negotiations failed, the planet Vesta is besieged. Here one of the biggest slaughters of the story takes place. Everyone who stays on the planet to protect the colony and comes to the planet for this purpose is killed. This massive carnage is causing the biggest war in Embedded Systems to break out.
2310 – Meanwhile, Constellation, which continues to explore, finds an artifact, Artifact, thought to belong to aliens in 2310 and saves it in its own archives.
Starfield Story
2311 – In 2311, in the most heated moments of the war, the Colonial War effectively ends after a Freestar fleet consisting of civilian and military ships destroys the large ships of the United Colonies navy using hit-and-run tactics in the Battle of Cheyenne.
2315 – In 2315, Freestar’s use of civilian ships in war inspired the United Colonies and the Vanguard union was established. We can briefly call Vanguard a civilian naval force formed by civilians with their own ships who have sworn to protect the interests of the United Colonies.
2320 – In the 2320s, we witness the growth of the Constellation organization. In 20, Sarah Morgan, a former military administrator of the United Colonies, whom we will see a lot in the game, in 21, Walter Stroud, one of the owners of Stroud-eklund, one of the leading starship manufacturers, as a financier, in 22, Vladimir Sall, a former Crimson Fleet pirate, In 25, theologian Matteo Khatri joins the Constellation organization. In the same year, Sarah Morgan is promoted to the position of vice president of the organization.
Let’s talk briefly about the group we can call the Crimson Fleet, that is, the Red Fleet. The Red Fleet is not actually an organized team. We can call this faction a community of pirates organized under the same flag. The penalty for leaving the Red Fleet is death, which makes us wonder about Vladimir Sall’s story. Also, the Red Fleet’s growth over time causes both the United Colonies and Freestar to see them as a threat. We will probably encounter these pirates frequently during the explorations we will make in the game.
Starfield Story
2326 – Anyway, let’s get back to our timeline. Do you remember the work that was removed to the archives in 2310? Here Barrett sees this discovery in the archives in 2326 and understands that it is a special object. In the same year, after a long correspondence, talented scientist Noel joins Constellation as a kind of apprentice of Sarah Morgan.
2327 – In 2327, Sam Coe, one of the Freestar Ranger members, and his daughter Cora Coe join Constellation. As you can see from their surnames, Sam and his daughter are descendants of Solomon Coe, who can be called the founder of Freestar.
2328 – In the year 2328, Barrett convinces Constellation to purchase Starstation L-868 and modify it as a deep space scanner. This modified station is called “Eye”. We can say that it has a task like the Hubble and James Webb telescope.
Starfield Story
