The Hidden Tenno Empire. Armies, Solar Rails, And Dojos...there Must Be More Than Meets The Eye.

[Hexagoros]

I posted this in response to someone who asked what craft besides the Liset the Tenno have in their possession.

 

Pretty much a Tenno empire, consider these points.

 

1) Enough industry to build the massive solar rails.

 

2) The ability to launch armies of Corrupted Soldiers, and Mechanical Legions to attack opposing solar rails.

 

3) Enough industry to arm and sustain those armies of Corrupted Soldiers and Mechanical Legions.

 

4) Enough Space Craft to maintain and guard the Solar Rail.

 

5) Enough industry to build and maintain the Space Craft that guard the Solar Rails.

 

6) Enough industry to build, equip, and maintain extensive 'dojos' capable of sustaining up to 1000 tenno each, including the personal armories of each of those 1000 tenno.

 

In other words, the Tenno 'must' have extensive resources, manpower and/or machinepower at their disposal, along with the ability to guard and upkeep those resources.

 

So...rather than 'Cryo Exiles,' the Tenno MUST have what amounts to a Shadow Empire of manpower, machinepower, and industry at their disposal. While we have so far simply 'accepted' that these things 'are,' from a Lore perspective they 'must' be coming from somewhere.

 

It 'cant' be the Lotus, since the Tenno are at war with themselves regularly, and I doubt that she would be arming both sides with machines and soldiers.

 

A Shadow Empire for the Tenno Clans?  Could be interesting.

Lol, the Lotus is just a GPS for us.

 

The Tenno defeated the Sentients, brought down the Orokin, can easily destroy armies of Grineer and Corpus etc.

 

We are more powerful than we think.

Then again, lore in the game atm is horribly set upv  :/

 

Its very inconsistent atm, so well see where it goes

the tenno have a ton of resources available to them, and culturally have a need to build such things, but you have to remember the tenno only number in the millions, compared to the massive armies of the Grineer and corpus (not to mention the Grineer can clone more troops than they lose)

we may seem powerful, but in reality what the tenno have is just a drop in the water

A drop compared to the Corpus or Grineer, ya, but they still have some impressive industrial and militaristic capacity of their own, which frankly has so far been ignored, but is nonetheless plain to see.

There's a whole community that isn't shown. If it was only a group of about 100 Tenno, we'd be destroyed in no time, which leads me to believe that there's an armada of us.

Dark sectors conflicts are like GAMES to Tenno.

 

Like football to 'Murica.

 

We do them for sport and Honor, not out of hatred. 

 

Thats the lore of the DS, its not that we are having Civil wars, its just that this is the equavilent of Sports for the Tenno.

 

(You wonder why when you die you instantly Respawn? its because your not dieing, you are just getting downed, or put out of the game for a couple seconds.)

 

 

Greneer have trillions of troops.

 

Corpus has a billions of troops and Billions or robot helpers.

 

Infested are Infinite.

 

We are not a army, we are compared to the others, a troop of enemies. its for every Tenno there is a million Greneer, thousand Corpus, and Millions of Infested.

First off, I have not seen that Lore anywhere.  Second off, I can also respawn during a mission...does that mean it's a game between the Grineer and the Tenno as well lol XD

 

Also, multiple Warlords means multiple agendas, and sometimes those agendas conflict.  If they Tenno were a monolith, there would be no need for multiple warlords.

 

And since I run a 71 clan Alliance, I can guarantee you, things 'do' get heated between the alliances.

And?  Because Army 1 is many times larger than Army 2, does not mean that Army 2 is no longer an 'army.'

 

Yes, the Tenno industrial and military capacity maybe tiny compared to that of the Corpus, but that doesn't mean it isn't still there.

plain to see for other tenno, but the dojos are also hidden out somewhere in the oort cloud/outside the outer terminus where other factions cannot find them easily.

they are still pretty much in hiding outside of missions, leaving me more thinking the weapons are more a defensive thing than anything else
