Welcome in the future!
The action ofElite: Dangerousbegins in the year 3300.
The cold war between theFederationand theEmpirecontinues whilst theAllianceof the independent fractions grows stronger, creating a powerful coalition.
Federationis a part of humanity with the law structure, similar to today’s democratic society.
With all its advantages and flaws.
It is an autocratic system in which corruption fills the every day life.
Domination of the corporations and misusing the laws is a part of every day’s life.
Federation is being controlled by the president of congressmen.
Both the government as the citizens are obliged to abide the law of the constitution.
Some things are tolerated (i.e.
Sounds familiar isn’t it?
Another part of the galactic force is created by theEmpire.
Empire values the honor.
Senators report only in front of the Imperator.
A few things are banned in the Empire, but people using the drugs are unwelcomed.
The third fraction isThe Independent Alliance of Systems.
The military cooperation is much better organized.
They can respond quickly and without any linkup with the government which in practice works very well.
The main plot is based around the sickness of Imperator Hengist Duval.
Now, the deeds of his successors are the main reason of everything that happens in the world.
How does it work?
In consequence it will change the balance between the main three fractions.
Galaxy in theElite: Dangerousis enormous, or even monstrous.
There can be found400 billion star constellationsto explore.
It is more than a one player can explore throughout his lifetime.
The most fascinating feature of the galaxy is its congruity for what we know about the galaxy today.
It adds a lot to the game in the matter of the exploration’s depth.
Same goes for every ‘painted’ stars and the vast sky which surrounds the player.
It all can be investigated.
Even though, the parts of the galaxy that we have already discovered are rather small.
That’s when the system of procedural generation comes to the game.
Each unknown constellation is generated by the game which makes them so different from each other.
Some of them will be blocked and unavailable on the day of release.
This is because of the new insectoid race called Thargoid which will be introduced in future.
More on that can be read in theGalaxy Map and travellingchapter.
