Talk:Soteria

Exodus Indigo

When adding the first batch of content to this page I added that Soteria launched the Exodus Indigo, the colony ship that founded Neomuna, but I am not 100% sure this is correct. I do personally believe this is the case but in writing this I found there are inconsistencies between the Seraph and Lightfall lore that would suggest otherwise. My main issue is that the Exodus Indigo was very much an Ishtar Collective operation, which would conflict with Soteria being in control of Clovis Bray ECHO ships, especially if the organizations' partnership had ended unamicably. Additionally, the Winterbite lore would seem to suggest that the Exodus Indigo was led to Neptune by a distress call from the fragment of Soteria, which we know from that weapon's questline could easily be mistaken for a Vex.

Found what I was looking for. Quicksilver Storm lore has the gun recognising the Pouka as //KEY==POUKA::DESIG==EXDSNDG::verified. Designation EXDSNDG, which has to be Exodus Indigo. Entry: https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/quicksilver-storm. The problem with the Winterbite lore is we don't have any kind of reference for when it occurred. It also says EXO-IND4b0082, so one of many ships? Fuck knows. ProstatePuncher (talk) 05:37, March 9, 2023 (EST)

I've gone ahead and edited the page to leave out mentions of the Exodus Indigo again. This also makes the article more consistent with the existing Neomuna page and the lore referenced on it, and doesn't necessarily state Soteria's ship wasn't the Exodus Indigo though it seems less likely to me now. Regarding the Winterbite lore it seems to me that it is set during the Collapse, and EXO-IND4b0082 is just a file name for an Exodus Indigo log. I will add that I realized that it is also unclear if Soteria going rogue actually happened during the Collapse or some time before it, especially if Rasputin knew of it long enough to have been protecting it as in this Evidence Board interaction, so I've decided not to state any particular time. We already know there was a decent window of time between the initial detection of the Black Fleet and the Collapse proper because of the Black Armory Papers.
