Hello Pilots! 

We’re continuing the development of ION Heart and we thought we’d give you a sneak peak at some of the lore and background we’ve been working on.

We’re really enjoying fleshing out the Astral Union and expanding the galaxy already shown in the quickstart guide. Eagle eyed Pilots might have noticed in one of our earlier updates that the names of a couple of the member-states of the Astral Union have changed slightly. We wanted the new names to reflect more of how these cultures actually operate. 

For example, the “Chiros Republic” has become “Chiros Coalition”. In our new expanded lore the, Chiros government is now a loose federation of individual fiefdoms that come together under the governance of the Board of Admirals. 

Likewise, the “Mo’nasque Amalgam” has become the “Mo'Nau Republic”. The Mo’nau homeworld of Oskaw is noted as a centre of arts, learning and culture, but one with a dark history of a violent revolutionary civil war.

One final group, who will make an appearance in ION Heart Remembrance, are the Ion Born. The question is, who are they?

We’ll reveal more in due to time. Stay safe out the Pilots!
