      Evidently, there are plans for an Aunic-focused expansion book (like the Field Guide to the Karrakin Trade Baronies), but it's on hold now that one of Lancer's two co-founders is working under a non-compete clause with a big gaming company and the other one is finishing up his webcomic and being a new dad. Presumably, the Field Guide to the Aun, the Field Guide to Harrison Armory, and No Room for a Wallflower Part II will be finalized and released once their schedules clear up. The only downside is that we have no way of knowing when that will be. Those books could drop this year. They could drop several years from now.

    Loving the Lancer Lore you bring, currently in a PF2e campaign with Lancer combat and mech stapled on there and although I think the GM is mostly homebrewing I figured it'd be good to learn some of the lore! 11dragonkid's Drink Deep & Descend also helps, but sometimes the text-to-speech they do makes it hard to understand. So I'm glad that you are a bit clearer and just to have multiple points of view on the lore. Keep up the good work!

    Loving the LANCER content!!
    One thing I will note is that the Bene Gesserit aren't a great analagy for the Aunic Ascendancy. I've seen the comparison made before but honestly they're a better match for maybe the Order Xenoglossia from the Baronies. IMO a better analogy would probably be the Covenant from Halo.
    For anyone curious, as of right now (there's a rough draft of the Aun sourcebook but it hasn't officially been released) the Aunic Ascendancy have these people called Minds who are basically Guardians from Destiny? Like one branch of Minds can just straight up revive themselves after dying, one can manipulate elemental forces, and one that can teleport themselves or others (allowing the Aun access to effective FTL travel) just to name a few. I love them cause they're an existential threat to Union's hegemony over the Orion Belt, not to mention they have AN ACTUAL GOD (more or less but I mean cmon what else would you call a MONIST class entity?) that has blessed them.
    I know 11dragonkid has videos in his Drink Deep and Descend series that dives more in depth into them

      @AhegaoEinstein 9 місяців тому

      @@LilFeralGangrel I don’t think it’s implied they’re the same thing. They are similar but MONIST-1 is described as being roughly moon shaped and Metat Aun is basically a city sized monolith. They both have paracasual powers but interestingly enough when Union NHPs scan Aunic Souls (they’re like NHPs but implied to be the literal souls of dead Aun) all they see is a blank void. Also the Firmament (what the Aun tap into for their powers) is specified as being a separate space from blinkspace.
      I’m pretty sure Metat Aun is on there side? I mean you’re right there’s no way to completely know but Metat Aun did warn the Aun of the PISTON-1 strike.

    The Voladore seem kinda out of place in this video given that every other group you mentioned is a major player in galactic politics to some extent, but you didn't mention any other smaller powers like the Sparri or Albatross. Hell, the Ungratefuls are an very interesting faction that's kind of an important aspect of the Union/KTB relationship. They even have their own personal Horus frame that's Core System is to emit hundreds of thousands of death screams while projectile vomiting.

    • @Zaktact
      @Zaktact  9 місяців тому +14

      It's more because in Cent comm they are treated as more of a galactic power with a contact embassy on Cradle. It has a culture and history separate to being within Union space while the others are still in the hegemony in some way. When it came to the Ungratefuls they're still relatively regulated to Karrakin space (felt more fitting for a video focusing on Karrakin turmoils). I see your points, some of these were even in the original draft of this video, the Voladore are just the ones that managed to hang on. Though it is definitely the odd ball out of the group.

      The Voladores have this kinda... sweden-esque stance in the world of Lancer. It's kinda downplayed that their nomadic and secretive culture is actually a huge part in getting worlds that aren't allied with Union in touch with Union. Especially seeing as Unions Transition from Seccom to Thirdcom was relatively a soft Coup. The Voladores usually inform worlds that Union has indeed turned a new, mostly good, leaf.

    I'd like to expand a bit on SecComm's ideology: Anthrochauvanism.
    Anthrochauvanism believed in humanity first, and a very specific vision for humanity. They imposed their order upon colonies, bulldozing any culture that formed.
    They believed that due to the hardships faced by humanity, they are justified in being the final arbiter of what should be. As the book puts it, "let humanity be all, and let all be as we
    are - in ensuring the survival of the species, the
    ends justify the means."
    They are responsible for the extinction of the only known other sapient organic species, the Egregorians on Hercynia. The Hercynian Crisis is what ultimately led to revolution and rise of ThirdComm.

      So when first making the LANCER videos I didn't really have an order in mind. I was more just talking about the subjects that interested me in the setting. Due to this it's ended up jumbled.
      Intro to - is more an onboarding quick run throw of cool stuff and that you're playing as lancers.
      Setting Basics - More a junk drawer of things within the settings (locations, classifications, tech, and such)
      Manufacturers - GMS, SSC, IPS-N, Horus covers the faction in lore, location, and briefly going over their mechs (not number crunchy, more theme)
      Union history videos - currently only the fall of humanity then Union First Comm up at the moment. Covers the early timeline.
      LANCER Factions - has brief run throughs of some of the galactic stage and what's happening in the modern setting kick off.
      Hope this helps.

      As the game is a ttrpg, you can homebrew those in, though a note about aliens:
      Humanity has encountered one race: the hycerians. And Humanity really, and I mean really ISNT proud of what happened. Seccom (the power before union) were anthrochauvnists (which, at first blush seems like a prideful "Humanity first!" Ideology, until you dig deep and realize it's basically the Austrian German failed painter man's racial theory, the sort where a person with the slightest negligible difference in anatomy is marked as 'subhuman') and so seccom tried to wipe out this race, in spite of them being entirely open to diplomacy and posing literally no threat as they weren’t even interstellar. This is partly why union created the 'NHP' marker, as it stands for "none human person', basically acknowledging that, while the individual isn't human, they'll still hold all the same rights of one within union.

      900 years they spent on that ship, and the desire to see their promised land grew into a religion. Unfortunately thanks to innovations in tech and Union being able to plot star courses better than when The Aunic ship first launched, when the Aunics finally did get to their planet, it was already colonized by union, lol. They Hated Union ever since, even though the Aunics got to keep their promised Planet.

    Ok so, wack fucking theory, Horus is Ra’s brother and they were both born from the same error, Horus just made itself known later and doesn’t actually fuck with reality. Second wack theory, Horus and Ra are going to fight at some point and it’ll fuck EVERYTHING up
    Edit: Should clarify, Horus doesn’t fuck with reality to the same extent as Ra

      Uh, there's 2 technically speaking. The First and probably most Prominent would be NHP's. Despite Being Digital beings, they're all capable of displaying godlike power when they don't see themselves as human anymore. Second, We had The Egregorians... Unfortunately, Thanks to Seccom being "Anthrochauvinist" (A Fascist Political faction meaning "Humanity First") The Egregorians are All But/ Are Extinct. Lot of people homebrew that Egregorians made it after the tragedy of their homeworld tho.

      I should also Mention that Egregorians are psychic bugs, with a Ant hive mentality, they all serve a boss bug, but retain their personality. some look like moths, others look like mantis, it kinda depends on what their job is when they're born.

    I'm sorry but as Dune nerd this is my obligation to state that your statement at three minutes into the video of claiming the bene Gesserit use psychic powers is false! Yes in the original 1984 movie this is the case as well as other depictions of the dune universe. But in the main books the Bene Gesserit are not psychic, they have trained in the ways of reading someone's expressions and being able to manipulate them with a unique tone of voice that causes someone's body to react without thinking. In the newest Dune movie the voice is given a weird sound effect but that is not the case in the source material, the Bene Gesserit are simply masters of human psychology able to predict and control people to their will.

    • @Zaktact
      @Zaktact  9 місяців тому

      I get it. Been awhile since I read the first book and when doing my notes for the video saw the bene Gesserit thrown around as a comparative group. Also more meant in the religious order sense, but yeah it's muddled when talking about the powers.

    Unions my least favorite part of the setting. The writers put tons of effort into nuance and intricacies of different factions, and then Union is just a Mary Sue nation.
    Maybe if the people of Union were extremely hedonistic and depraved from everything being given to them, or perhaps a sort of mind control factor keeping the populace from going crazy/corruption in the government, there’d be something interesting there. But as it stands, if Union ever gets involved it’s “side with me or you’re a dick”

      What you suggest sounds really really stupid and much more like the type of propaganda Harrison armory would spread. Why is it a bad thing that there's a definite good guy in the setting? If I wanted misery porn where "there is only war and depravity" I'd go to the universe of midtier writing that is warhammer.
      Tldr: you sound like a Harrison armory agent, repent scum.

      Union exists in the way it does to allow players to play the good guys without forcing them to side with reprehensible people.
      The setting itself also isn't supposed to be grimdark. So having union be hedonist kind of messes with the tone. If you want to make the setting more hopeless, just union a group that childishly naive and destined to fail.
