New: The Codex
The Codex, a new in-game encyclopedia, is now available from the Title and Pause menus. It is a place to explore the wider world behind the story: the history, technology, institutions, and unanswered questions the episodes can only briefly touch on.
The Codex currently covers the crew, the Alliance, ship technology, alien species, and unexplained phenomena encountered during the story. A second, hidden channel called Classified Files becomes available as the season progresses.
Three kinds of entries
- Workshops. Fully voiced, playable scenes featuring the crew. This update adds roughly 15 to 20 minutes of new voiced content, accompanied by new original music.
- Orientations. Detailed profiles and doctrine entries. Several gain new annotations as you progress, including logs, mission reports, and archive excerpts.
- Briefings. Quick-reference cards covering important terms, technology, and procedures.
Some entries go beyond the institutional record, bringing in the crew's own experiences, disagreements, and perspectives. The Codex will continue to expand as new episodes are released.
