    Firefly and the Iron Cavalry were all genetic clones of Empress Titania (“Her Majesty”), the figurehead ruler of Glamoth.
    Titania was an empress in name only, and although she could control the Iron Cavalry through telepathy, she was kept in captivity. The Iron Cavalry were taught to believe that they were defending an empire that, in reality, never existed.
    (The story quest doesn’t really tell you any of this. It’s in relic and Planar ornament lore only.)

      ​@@georgieegamesYeah a lot of people miss out on those details because they are on the gear you get from Simulated Universe. But Mihoyo puts a lot of the future character details with them. It's because of that ornament set that some people called Firefly as Sam when she mentioned her condition in the 2.0 storyline.

    • @necromancerwu
      @necromancerwu 2 місяці тому

      It is never stated, but I assume that Titania is probably the originator of the Iron Cavalry gene pool, hence a telepathic communication.
      What is said is that Glamoth was actually a republic, the Senate is the highest decision making organ. "Empire" is purely a fictional creation with Titania as its head. So from birth, they were indoctrinated to live and die for a fictitious Empire that never even existed.
      In the end, Glamoth Republic perished because the bodies and wreckages of both the Swarm and the Iron Cavalry were so thick in orbit, it blocked out the sun for all the inhabited planets of the Glamoth system. (So I assume that Glamoth was a solar system spanning civilization, but not a galactic one). And I think I saw somewhere that people theorized that the war between Glamoth and the Swarm were actually Propagation vs. Propagation, similar to how the followers of Abundance actively seek out other Abundance to try to rob them of their gifts. Propagation is more mindless, it's just two factions both blessed with propagation came to butt heads, one being the Gestalt consciousness of the Swarm, the other being the endless cloning of the Iron Cavalry.
      If true, I think it can really add to the sense why certain groups of humans wanting to kill off all the Eons.

      Considering what Jade said in the main quest that Glamoth no longer exists and the people who knows the Fyrefly technology are all dead, implying that any knowledge related are lost to time, I would bet that it has been a very long time Firefly floated in space before Kafka went and pick her up.

    • @solomonwaldmarck9851
      @solomonwaldmarck9851 2 місяці тому +6

      It is likely that she had stayed floating in space far longer that. Remember that 1 Amber Era equals to 76-240 years. The Swarm Disaster happened on 1300s AE, while the Trailblazer woke up just right before 2158 AE. Since Stellaron Hunter is a new faction that has only recently emerged in the universe, let's assume that Firefly was discovered by Kafka on 2157 AE. That means there are approximately 857 AE gap between the two event. Converting this number to Trailblaze Year gives us somewhere between 64,275 and 205,680. That means Firefly could have been floated in dormant state for around 64,275-205,680 years.

    The Swarm is probably my favorite addition to Star Rail. When discussing apocalyptic events in fiction that go beyond Earth's scale, such as nuclear war, and enter the scale of the universe, "the Swarm" is a common theme. Essentially, it's an extremely fast-reproducing hive mind-like species that propagates and spreads to every corner of the universe, posing a universe-ending threat. Another common theme is the singularity, where an AI civilization decides to take over everything. I love seeing something like this introduced. It's genuinely a massive threat, and if they continue to explore it, it could potentially wipe out the universe.

    Hay una teoría de que Firefly recibió una bendición de Yaoshi el eon de la abundancia, que en el lore se menciona:
    "Pide con sentimiento y recibirás.
    Yaoshi es el nutriente de todos los seres, la diosa del paraíso. Su objetivo es hacer que la vida florezca.
    Es el Eón que siempre escucha las plegarias y que no admite la decadencia ni la enfermedad".
    Es por eso que se ve un árbol florecer y la voz que le susurra en ese momento.
    Se dice que al ser el único sobreviviente de esa batalla, fue que recibió el don de la inmortalidad, al igual que blade, solo que ella no es consciente de aquello.
    Solo es una teoría, que reforzaría el hecho de que Firefly, hubiera estado viva por tanto tiempo en el espacio hasta que la encuentra Kafka, es por eso de su brillo verdoso, además Jade menciona que la enfermedad de Firefly, es un método de defensa de la República, para evitar que la caballería de hierro cayera en manos equivocadas, es por eso que los caballeros de Glamouth no viven mucho tiempo, independientemente si mueren en batalla o no.
    Como dije es una teoría que explicaría la longevidad de Firefly y que su cuerpo no haya sufrido el paso del tiempo ni la enfermedad.

    This show us that we need to stop Ruan Mei and her research of Emanators.
    If a Swarm mother can do that level of destruction, imagine the Emanator or even the Aeon of the Swarm... In fact we don't even need to imagine since the lore kinda tell us what the emanator Starcrusher Swarm King does:
    Its original form is a giant lepisma that inherited the mandibles of the Imperator Insectorum. It can collect in its mouthparts the death ray that fragmented celestial bodies, and make shattered stars incubators for procreating offspring. It was once one of the nightmares across multiple worlds during the Swarm Disaster.

    Welcome to the Penacony Pain Train, featuring the Swarm and Firefly, and the Problem with Ruan Mei, because she wanted to recrate that big swarm bug that was shown here.
    I think you noticed already the Voicelines of Firefly and Sam with the "Scorched Earth Operation" , this is a military tactic to destroy everything around you so that the enemy cant use what they are invading, and to weaken them
    So the Iron Cavalry had this plan to destroy everything or to explain it better that they didnt need to hold back because everything was destroyed already to beat the swam.
    And the Part With kafka at the end, Hoyo threw a curve ball at the Lore of the Stellaron Hunters, because it was said before that Firefly was the first Stellaron Hunter and Kafka came second, but now Firefly came after Kafka
    You will get a bit more for Firefly and Sam until the end of 2.3
    Did you watch the Trailer for her already?
