(XBOX)CI shadow2397 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 So unless you haven’t been paying attention we have recently been discovering some very important technology in the origin system. Powerful tech that can change the tide of a war. And where do the orokin keep all this? Buried deep within backwater planets. Tenno: put in pods below lua which isn’t very stable. Heart of Deimos: put in a cave of an completely infested moon run by a dysfunctional family. Rail jack: this isn’t as bad because it was crashed but it was on Europa, Ceres mars and Venus The traditionally most inhospitable places in the system. And finally they put all thier bases in some ooga Booga dimension they didn’t completely understand that is run by some creepy eldrich prankster who like to make people go insane.

TheArcSet Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 The Orokin caste died because the tenno killed their leadership, then hunted down most of the orokin who had survived the war; freeing the slaves and under-citizens as a side effect. Cited by Stalker and Grendal lore. Deimos didn't use to be infested, it's returned to 'real-space' because the infestation is breaking its systems. And I doubt mechs only existed there. Not to mention, if it was hit, then the organics would lose all FTL and tenno, so hiding it in a place where sentients can't see/enter seems a smart idea. Cited Start of quest: Loid The Lotus put the tenno in the pods, after killing the orokin, probably to stop what happened to Rell happening to others; because while she didn't know about Rell, she admits she knew exactly what he was talking about and that it wasn't delusions. Cited Second Dream: Lotus. Not sure you could call the towers bases, but either way, they're almost the only things still fully working, even if the one on Earth has ... changed.

This is discussed in the Lancer Template thinger from Simaris, where a surviving orokin of considerable rank was held prisoner by the newly liberated grineer, who needed them to fly the ship, because it literally would not respond to anyone who was not of Orokin genetics or augmentation. Kinda like the "Ancient Gene" in Stargate Atlantis, being needed to operate Atlantean Tech. Anyway, with most of the population that was Orokin-Enough to operate their more advanced tech, now dead after mysteriously all falling onto a skana while in their space-showers... of course the empire fragmented and reassembled into different blocs who developed their own tech, free from Orokin Gene locks.

Zahnrad Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 From my understanding, three things in Warframe contain "oro" something akin to a soul in Warframe's universe. Unfortunately most of this comes from Conclave, which is not often played. Tenno Sentients and the Orokin It's important to note, the difference between being a Orokin, and being in the Orokin empire. It seems to suggest Orokin used Continuity to swap to a different body when theirs became unusable, damaged or old. This "Continuity" seems to grant the Orokin this "soul" and even if the body is killed, they can be given new flesh, hence why the Worm Queen is collecting Kuva, to bring her Elder sister back. Among this, Tenno and Sentients are the only ones capable of absorbing oro. Hence why the Sentient were a threat, conventional means they could survive. Like when Ordan Karris attempted to cut down a room of Orokin, only for the surviving members to laugh at how his methods did basically nothing. This helps to explain the Lotus's pain over the loss of the original Mirage by a massive Sentient. The Oro was absorbed and could not be revived. The reason the Tenno were able to destroy the Orokin was because they could absorb oro, a way of confirming their death. The Orokin had their guard down, and that was their mistake.

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 improper storage of godlike tech is one thing, but IMO, the Orokin's fate was sealed once they started acting like d1cks and treating everyone like trash. Grendel's Leverian and Eviscerator Synthesis Lore are Prime (pun intended) examples of Orokin douchebaggery. even Son/Kermerros say that the orokin downfall was deserved because "our time had more than come". and he always struck me as the most "Orokin" of the Entrati in that sense, especially when you consider it was his infested samples that caused the outbreak on Deimos to begin with. so if *he* thinks the Orokin had it coming, then yeah, they REALLY, genuinely, 100% deserved what they got. they would have been some of the most self-absorbed, vile creatures to ever draw breath, and the worst part is, they wouldn't die, until we saw to it ourselves. literally all of warframe's factions are a direct result of, or are in relation to, an Orokin mistake. marvelous., isn't it?

As to the OPs points , stuff didn't happen in an instant, Lua wasn't always unstable, the shifting to void was Margulis/Lotus trying to take the Tenno out of the war (for various reasons). Deimos was an orokin research station originally for understanding the void, it was not infested, but if a month old salad with genocidal intent is bad , imagine something that's more than a few hundred years old. There was no infestation originally but probably in some past event (in the old war) it got out and took over deimos. The research station was in the void for as long as the tenno were asleep to avoid attention from the sentients, it only came out now because the infestation managed to get into the sanctum threatening all void tech. Discovery of Void: Led to the Void advances including FTL and continuity , orokin dominance was relatively new. Deimos being just like Lua : Orokin dominance has been active for some time - it was rather stable and relatively pristine. Deimos starting to become infested, Lua being shifted to void: Old war time - stuff was starting to break down this was more than hundreds of years ago, Deimos Nechralisk getting infested, Lua getting out of the void: Current time - there may even be a relation between Lua and Deimos both appearing together (kinda).

'Good' as a term is somewhat relative. Batman beats the everloving S*** out of criminals, and is willing to endanger himself and to some degree others in order to clean up his city. The Straw Hats from One Piece are unequivocally considered heroic, but don't actually have the slightest qualm about assassinating the heads of sovereign nations in order to successfully claim a treasure strictly for their own benefit. Even Luke Skywalker - well, people like to forget that most the people who worked on the Death Star had families. Quite possibly ones that relied on that person to feed and support them, due to the very reasons the Rebellion exists in the first place (widespread poverty and corruption) In the same way most people in the Warframe universe acknowledge that the Orokin were at least morally bankrupt - outside of places like Cetus perhaps, who have a warped view thanks to the Unum. They'd also therefore consider that the Grineer and Corpus are at worst on par, and most colonial civilians would consider the Tenno a much more morally virtuous group than the Orokin. These people weren't directly mind controlled by the Lotus - they looked at the Tenno's actions and said 'yes, these are good people'. If we are the moral standpoint for this universe, then that should put in perspective just how bad the rest of it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
