Story/Lore thoughts and predictions

[mr.WHO]

There was some Lore publicated to fill the gap between X3:AP and XR story.

If you look carefully on both stream videos you will notice hints, that they are making X4 along that story:

The dominant force will be "The Alliance" (Argon Federation, Paranid Empire) which reestablished contact after gates system collapse - the alliance is mentioned in Station Billboard, Posters of the first stream.

In the lore there is mentioned that shortly before the gate collapse there were rebel movement in Commonwealth space called Hatickwas' Legue while was battling with Argon Federation.
In second video stream (presenting map combat) you notice that enemy are argon ships with HAT tag. Therefore I assume some systems are/were former Hatickwas Legue territory and there are still resisting (or maybe some kind of rebels).


This somehow give me Firefly vibes where the Alliance was power hungry, authoritarian goverment that "enfore democracy", while rebels were the people who didn't want to be opressed by the goverment.

Small notes: the complete name is Alliance of Worlds.

The X-Encyclopedia states that Hatikvah Free League is neutral and has 10 planets (versus the 28 of the Argon Federation). In games, both factions are under the Argon Federation flag.

I don't remember their hostilities against the Argon Federation. Where is that mentioned?

I'm pretty sure the story is going to revolve around some chick sneaking on board your ship, and then the whole galaxy goes hostile against you and you have to warp to another universe and join the refuges who end up taking on your enemy for you and all you gotta do is hack a station and the game is finished. tada.

I would be glad if the player would meet a Sohnen and discuss reunion of lost colonies with him.

Dear developer team, if you made the universe more unpredictable, what about making the main storyline more branched, with multiple more or less good endings?

For example, if a quest-related object is destroyed in existing X-games, the plot is failed.
As for X4, what if it would not break the plot but would instead start a new branch of the plot with a more dark ending?
