One thing about the 2nd edition OP you may notice when it is made is how I can be vague beyond mentioning natives, custodians and some vague overview of human history that really just gives people a loose timeline to answer questions like "when did humans get spaceships again after having to build up from just a few thousand people?".  Humans are prone to division so multiple human factions I view as a given and thus I don't even dare speak of the details in regards to what human societies exist in this universe.

Similar with the custodians and the intelligent (or at least well organized) aliens.  That is all player domain and so I don't go into it much.  I just hope that players can work together to string together things to keep things coherent.  That's why I suggested a way to link Lio's insectoids with Nytefall's and went as far as to have a "no redundant sapients" guideline to enourage such lore linking.  

I like my aliens multicultural.
