Reddit reviews Elite: Reclamation (Elite: Dangerous) (Volume 1)

> "You've been to the Frontier?"

> "To it, through it, past it", the woman smiled. "Don't tell no one, but I got as far as the Formidine Rift, not many folks can say that! No one has gone past it and lived to tell the tale."

> "The Formid ...?"

> "Edge of the galactic arm. Take a line from Reorte to Riedquat to the edge of the arm, and ... keep going." The woman grimaced. "Stars thin out, you can see the whole galaxy just hanging there. I took a fancy to going exploring after I lost ...", she paused, a sadness creeping across her face. "... had some time to spare. Quiet for the most part, until ..."

> "Until what?"

> "Let's just say there was some serious shit out there. Stuff you wouldn't believe. No, really - no one believed me, said it was all fabrication. I had no proof, you see, and they edited my memory afterwards. Ah, it'll all come back to bite them one day. It's all in the Imperial databanks somewhere ... and they thought the thargoids were trouble."

Most of the search thus far has been in the EAFOTS sector. Been out in the rift myself a while now, just a heads up: space madness WILL set in... just embrace it! Us Rifters are all a bit... Different

Read the first page of the link provided by another_ape (don't worry so much about the previous threads, the first page has everything you need) Once you are done, feel free to read the last few just to get up to speed. (Although Zach is doing a great job keeping the FP up to date). If you want to get into the lore a bit more, there is a book called Elite: Reclamation that is official canonn and was written as a companion to the game at launch, and indeed the author, Drew Wagar, is also the writer for the Rift mystery on behalf of FDev. The characters from the book exist in-game, and often read Galnet articles with them involved. Kahina Loren AKA Salome is the main character and is subsequently a key figure in the Rift mystery (More on her here) along with her curernt followers, the Children of Raxxla (who have a minor faction in-game located in the HR 6421 system). In fact Salome herself is in game, and can be added as a "Friend" in game. She is a FDev controlled character however, as far as we know...
