Unveiling a Tapestry of Alliances, Wars, and Treaties
Let’s dive into the enthralling timeline that forms the backdrop of Starfield’s captivating narrative. It all begins in 2050, when humans first set foot on Mars, eventually leading to the establishment of space colonies by 2100. Fast forward to 2159, the birth of the grand United Colonies, with the official capital city of New Atlantis designated in 2161.
Inevitably, tensions rise between the United Colonies and the Freestar Collective, culminating in the explosive Narion War of 2196. As conflicts persist, a fragile peace is finally brokered two decades later with the signing of the Treaty of Narion, although its repercussions continue to cast a long shadow.
Despite several peaceful decades, diplomacy fails to avert the onset of the Colony War in 2307, which wages on until 2311. The timeline unfurls with the formation and growth of an influential organization called Constellation, established in 2275 by the visionary Sebastian Banks. By 2328, a host of remarkable individuals join the esteemed ranks of Constellation in preparation for the climactic events that unfold in Starfield’s immersive world in the year 2330 A.D.
A Captivating Backstory and Ambitious Setting
An epic saga requires a captivating backstory and a meticulously crafted universe, and Starfield appears to deliver on both fronts. While it remains uncertain whether the game will reach the same heights as Baldur’s Gate 3, renowned for its sprawling lore that enraptures players, the intriguing timeline suggests that the competition between these two games could be fierce. Let’s hope that diplomatic solutions prevail, sparing us from the need for treaties.
Get ready to embark on an extraordinary interstellar journey – Starfield is now available for pre-purchase on Steam.
