There will be an overarching grand lore, but the details and how it unfolds will depend on the in-game situations due to all player and non-player actions.

jejoxdev @jejoxdev.bsky.social · Sep 4

Several player/CPU actions may trigger chains of events. Events branch depending on players decisions and unfold in a chain-like fashion. Those events reference and affect actual game locations, fleets, and previous events liberally on a per-play-through basis and are narrated to the player.
