I am overseeing this. This is here for temporary documentation. Arguments in comments will be cleaned-away.

The lore will need to be reworked slowly, and deliberately. The tenets for contributors and myself is to not make any severe overhauls too quickly, and without proper assessment.

There are a few things to actually have completed before this can be marked off.

~~The stellaris game~~
This will decide the general map layout of the galaxy, but all in all the state of the galaxy is unimportant to the server. Ambiguity is king.
To NT or not to NT
There is a choice to completely replace existing SS14 lore. I of all people am staunchly in favor of this, but it's up in the air and some votes will be held.

Additional Notes

After the stellaris game, or even without, I could create a map and hold a serious of votes to decide the fate of various countries placed upon the map after some discussions. Everyone gets a say. Any lore that is too indulgent to any one specific person's character will be seen disfavorably.

Lore Notes

Gloxans, the late Armada, the ARF, the GGC (New Great Galactic Confederation), Mov'vaavuu, etc.
It'd be important to stress that nobody holds any galactic power above all the rest. The Armada could, but doesn't care. It's self-isolated.
Big arms race between ARF, Glorxans, Confederacy, and others trying to keep up
Every computer everywhere synchronously bugged out to -1 for some reason, nobody knows why.

Practical Changes

Tweak the Date Time of this PR (#212) to ymd. New lore, new format, new anguish.
Create a place to store this lore once it comes into fruition.
Make some maps. (I am personally doing this. Map and flag submissions will be taken as suggestions.)
