LANCER Factions | State of the Galaxy 

All you need to know about Harrison Armories is that Lancer doesn't have the Geneva Conventions; they have a list of "Things Harrison Armories Isn't Allowed To Do In Union Space".

I cannot wait for people to ask me about lancer and me to show them this entire video series

Suggestion: When you go into Ra in detail, have Ra be represented my Microsoft Clippy.

Please don’t ever stop. You’re the best lancer content on RU-vid.

I really hope we get more official information on the Aunics at some point, every time they're mentioned there's some really interesting seeming stuff.

To be fair, Union kicked the Karrakin's ass once *before* they got that little bit of divine intervention.

Loving the Lancer Lore you bring, currently in a PF2e campaign with Lancer combat and mech stapled on there and although I think the GM is mostly homebrewing I figured it'd be good to learn some of the lore! 11dragonkid's Drink Deep & Descend also helps, but sometimes the text-to-speech they do makes it hard to understand. So I'm glad that you are a bit clearer and just to have multiple points of view on the lore. Keep up the good work!

I mean you use Imperials Knights as the example for the KTB, but "Game of Thrones with giant robots" is right there.

So, Union is Deep Space Nine Starfleet. Got it

Another amazing lore video on lancer. I remember learning that the Voladores where a bit of an odd faction when I was getting into lancer, but I didn’t realize that they where as old as 1st com. Also just wanted to quickly add that Piston 1 hasn’t actually hit its target yet, emphasis on yet.

More Zaktact? I'll always have time for this!

Your videos made me pick up the Lancer Rule book and it was very much worth the money.

You are my favorite explainer channel now. Notifications: on. Just your mannerisms and the way you explain things are very pleasing. I've been playing Lancer with my game night group for the last few months and your videos were a big part of getting everyone on board

That TP mechanic may be one of my all time favourite mechanics in table top RPGs. That is Fkn hilarious.

I’m lancing out rn

Loving the LANCER content!! One thing I will note is that the Bene Gesserit aren't a great analagy for the Aunic Ascendancy. I've seen the comparison made before but honestly they're a better match for maybe the Order Xenoglossia from the Baronies. IMO a better analogy would probably be the Covenant from Halo. For anyone curious, as of right now (there's a rough draft of the Aun sourcebook but it hasn't officially been released) the Aunic Ascendancy have these people called Minds who are basically Guardians from Destiny? Like one branch of Minds can just straight up revive themselves after dying, one can manipulate elemental forces, and one that can teleport themselves or others (allowing the Aun access to effective FTL travel) just to name a few. I love them cause they're an existential threat to Union's hegemony over the Orion Belt, not to mention they have AN ACTUAL GOD (more or less but I mean cmon what else would you call a MONIST class entity?) that has blessed them. I know 11dragonkid has videos in his Drink Deep and Descend series that dives more in depth into them

These reviews are SUPER helpful. My Friend recently got the PDF and I now know a lot more about what he is talking about!

love your stuff. you really help me flesh out and explain the world of lancer to my player. keep up the good work

Harrison Armory's emblem reminds me of the AOL symbol... "Welcome you got war crimes"

Super helpful! I am trying to prepare a Lancer campaign and this helps me reinforce some lore in my mind and also get an idea on how to present things to my players. Also I should really print my copy to read it on paper... so listening to things is a good alternative too.

MONIST-1 (RA) and MONIST-2 (Metat Aun) are not one and the same, Aun even appeared long before the Deimos event that birthed RA.

I think this is your best video so far my man, keep up the good work

Great video as always! Can't wait for a vid focusing on harisson armory

Upcoming Saturday will be our first session, the hype is real

Thank you for the breakdown, you're definitely improving on the trail off because when it happens, you're at least addressing it later in the video now.

Ok, so that kick-ass guitar techno song that starts playing when you talk about the Barronies (around 3:26), I must have this song. Also, love that I fell ass first onto your channel. These vids are great!

Everyone makes the Boundary Garden/Dawnline Shore mistake if they talk about Lancer for more than five minutes.

The Voladore seem kinda out of place in this video given that every other group you mentioned is a major player in galactic politics to some extent, but you didn't mention any other smaller powers like the Sparri or Albatross. Hell, the Ungratefuls are an very interesting faction that's kind of an important aspect of the Union/KTB relationship. They even have their own personal Horus frame that's Core System is to emit hundreds of thousands of death screams while projectile vomiting.

Thanks for the video

I really appreciate this video for bringing my attention to the Voladore. I think my biggest fears are talking about them or KTB as a DM. Maybe I should just lean into it and run a KTB game to get over my anxiety about them. 😏

As I read the utopian pillars, I suddenly felt inspired. I'm ready to create something greater.... Also sorry for being the 67 comment and ruining order 66 =)

Holy shit goated lancer king

The Blue Sky binds us all

Amazing video. i'm obsessed with the theme when you talk about Horus; what is that?

YES!!! More lancer content!! Y E S

Heck yeah! More lancer!

Yay more Lancer and galactic politics :3 Also i have that same shirt ❤

Nice

I've had my eye on Lancer for a bit. I know one of my players is a big Gundam nerd so I'm sure they'll love it. 🤔

YaY! New lancer video!

Wasn’t interest in Lancer until these videos Now I am all in

Cannot wait for Harrison armory so I can see [Non descriptive railgun]

Alpha legion vibe was mentioned in past videos in reference to Horus. But then you said “space 4chan”. I’m so in and I’m ashamed

0:42 - let's begin.

Whats that song playing when talking about horus? It slaps

3:03 birrin mentioned

What’s the music you used during the Trade Barony section?

Great job as always man. But there's one thing that I gotta talk about. Metat Aun is classified as MONIST 2, While Ra is MONIST 1, Metat Aun also shows up way before Ra, so wouldn't that mean they're separate entities? Especially Since Ra is bound to Deimos, and Metat Aun appears as a Giant stone pillar?

KTB has a ring world??? Where can I find more info on that

What soundtrack is used in the Horus section?

What was the song used during the karrakin trade baronies sections?

Please Zaktact tell us what song did u use for karrakin trade baronnies

Boladores is flyers or people that fly in spanish

Shame you didn’t talk about the albatross

Do you also have a more newcomer friendly video I can send to my friends who do not know lancer at all but I bet would be interested?

Does anyone know what music is playing whenever he’s talking about the Trade Baronies?

No mention of Albatross, Horizon Collective or Ungratefuls :(

The Aunic Ascendancy has a whole caste system and the people with psionics are second class citizens, they are also implied to be from the future. I wonder if the Voladores are as well?

Yo first?! It's a good night

How did you skip over Anthrochauvinism? It's SecComm's and later HA's prime directive.

is IPS-N's planet being tropical a reference to the Amazon? 😮

first yay :3 edit: omg PLEASE talk more about the onic ascendency

Can someone help me please? I forgot the name of the lancer group that is basically the blue angels only for Mechs and works for 3rd comm. One of my players wants to have a back story involved with them. Neither of us can remember their name!

Music used in Karrakin section???

What order do you recommend watching your LANCER videos in for someone new to LANCER? The playlist seems a little jumbled around and I'm wondering where to start. Thanks!

New Lancer video?

Wait. Where are those more extreme parts of the Baronies described? Which book talks about them tearing about stars and cracking planets?

Will there be any Xenos or autonomous robot factions in the future?

What's the song he used when talking about the trade baronies?

LETS FUCKINGOOOOO

Hello it's me, I would like one lancer please. Oh out of fingerless gloves? Okay... I can do without them I guess...

God, the First Contact accord makes me so upset. I YEARN for more Ra Info lol.

Glory to the ungratefuls

0:42

Who knows the music that plays during Karrakin part?

RA isn't Metat Aun! Ra is MONIST-1, while Metat Aun is Monist-2 and somehow even less understood!

Is there any alien in this setting?

2nd

Ok so, wack fucking theory, Horus is Ra’s brother and they were both born from the same error, Horus just made itself known later and doesn’t actually fuck with reality. Second wack theory, Horus and Ra are going to fight at some point and it’ll fuck EVERYTHING up Edit: Should clarify, Horus doesn’t fuck with reality to the same extent as Ra

calls a group Spanish, puts them in a Mexican sombrero from the dollar store... ok. :/ ah man I do really like you're videos, I hope you come to learn why stuff like that is disappointing. have a good day.

I'm sorry but as Dune nerd this is my obligation to state that your statement at three minutes into the video of claiming the bene Gesserit use psychic powers is false! Yes in the original 1984 movie this is the case as well as other depictions of the dune universe. But in the main books the Bene Gesserit are not psychic, they have trained in the ways of reading someone's expressions and being able to manipulate them with a unique tone of voice that causes someone's body to react without thinking. In the newest Dune movie the voice is given a weird sound effect but that is not the case in the source material, the Bene Gesserit are simply masters of human psychology able to predict and control people to their will.

This videos structure is so odd, why’d you split it into sections introducing each faction then go back and go into further detail. Comes off a bit messy ngl

further confirmation that latinos can control time

I dont like the federation i like robots and democracy

Unions my least favorite part of the setting. The writers put tons of effort into nuance and intricacies of different factions, and then Union is just a Mary Sue nation. Maybe if the people of Union were extremely hedonistic and depraved from everything being given to them, or perhaps a sort of mind control factor keeping the populace from going crazy/corruption in the government, there’d be something interesting there. But as it stands, if Union ever gets involved it’s “side with me or you’re a dick”
