Starting a character


When you first start a character you have four races to choose from at the moment. Lore - The Avikan are a nomadic race of reptilian creatures from the desert planet of Kadavan. Forced to flee their homeworld after an invasion by the Theleans, they roam the galaxy in a massive fleet called the Avikan Nomada.

Gameplay - Traditional Avikan equipment is made of bone, and when playing as the Avikan, you'll progress through the game by hunting down monsters and collect their bones and hides. In later stages of the game, you will progress to equipment made of a unique metal and will gain access to a varied assortment of weapons and equipment. Lore - The Droden are a race of robotic servants, originally created by the Avikan in their war with the Theleans. They come in two variations – War Frames and Utility Frames, represented in-game by their gender. While the majority of Droden are mindless droids, some are fully functional AIs which rival even the Glitch.

Gameplay - The Droden, being creations of the Avikan, share the majority of content with the Avikan, but they do come with their own tiered armour, and can craft a few unique racial weapons later in the game. Lore - The Trink are a race of sentient robotic beings created by the Notix, a race living on the frozen planet called Icicle. They are famous for their incredible intelligence, and value efficiency above all, making them some of the best engineers in the galaxy.

Gameplay - They craft their equipment from a variety of unique, extra-strong metals, and favor electric prods and laser rifles in combat. They are unlike any other race in the game, offering a truly unique experience. Lore - Desendants of humankind, the Aegi now reside on planet Elithia. They lead the Elithian Alliance - an interstellar federation of alien nations - and make for incredible diplomats, engineers and scientists.

Gameplay - Aegian tiered weapons can be modified with weapon attachments, and a special crafting table lets you upgrade any of their weapons - no weapon will ever be obsolete again!

Outposts


Lore/Gameplay - A safe space amongst the stars, The Starfarer's Refuge is the hub for most Avikan and Droden content. Visit a large spaceship and explore hidden corners to find quests, merchants, a shooting range, the black market and many other useful services! Lore/Gameplay - Explore a large embassy building and the adjacent town! The Creon Embassy is located on Elithia, the homeplanet of the Aegi and birthplace of the Elithian Alliance. This hub for Alliance content features quest, merchants, a shooting range, and a black market, amongst many other things. Explore the hidden corners of this outpost to discover new and powerful weapons to craft!
