Austin has talked a bit about the lore behind the different factions but I can’t seem to find any opportunities in the game to get more dialogue that fleshes out the world, other than that one guy who keeps talking about the Foundry. Do you get more lore if you visit different stations? What am I missing?
So I played enough Heat Signature to answer my own question: I met a new NPC when I freed the Glitcher faction’s main space station. Turns out Glitcher culture is… a lot.
