Each and every planet in the Galactic Guide had a page of text explaining key parts of its lore, such as its background and role in the galaxy's economy. As players continued to play on the planet's maps, they'd unlock more pages of lore in the Galactic Guide, and the same was true for the game's playable Freegunners, who would appear near their home planets on the map.

Though it could be overwhelming at first, Concord's Galactic Guide was packed to the brim with genuinely interesting lore tidbits. Players could learn about the Tempest disaster, a space storm that appeared out of nowhere decades ago and tore the galaxy in two, or the crew of the Implacable, the first Freegunner ship that blazed a mighty trail, or the tyrannical Guild, a merchant organization that rules the galaxy through coercion and control.

After a while, these puzzle pieces would come together to form a complete picture of Concord's story, and it was a surprisingly exciting one. For fans of Wild West-inspired Sci-Fi franchises like Firefly, Concord's Freegunners vs. The Guild story felt familiar but fresh. There were also plenty of intriguing morsels for fans of Hard Sci-Fi, like Dune and Star Trek, such as the planet of Silo which The Guild threw an asteroid into and proceeded to build a Spire that extends from the planet's surface to space, acting as an ominous reminder to the rest of the galaxy of its power..

NOOOOOOO!!!

Sweet, maybe I'll finally be able to realize my dream of playing a gigantic fat chick wearing a diving bell as a shirt.
She was based on Robo from Chrono Trigger....

While it may be true that everything that sucks is based on Chrono Trigger, it's also true that everything that you love is based on Chrono Trigger, even if it released prior since Chrono Trigger bends time and space.
