LightstealKnight Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I went to help some new players against Lephantis yesterday and noticed something with what the Lotus said.She said that Lephantis had gotten large because of hundreds of years of growth and the consumption of flesh (paraphrasing). But one of Lephantis' heads is Grineer and another Corpus. Does this mean that the Grineer and Corpus have been around for hundreds of years?

IceDragonofAmber Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Although not in the current state of the two factions the descendants of the Grineer and Corpus have dated back to the Orokin era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anunymau5 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Its been confirmed that the grineer were Orokin slave clones and the Corpus were formed just after if not possibly during the fall of the Orokin Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechot Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 these two factions have been around not for hundreds of years, but most likely thousands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MihawkDulacr1 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I imagine Lephantis like Cell from DBZ, that thing must have eaten thousands of grineer and corpus *shudders* to get that big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trylobyte Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Fun fact: 'Corpus' is actually the Orokin word for 'Family.' So the Corpus literally translates to the Family. ...Were the Corpus originally the Orokin Mafia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morec0 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Although not in the current state of the two factions the descendants of the Grineer and Corpus have dated back to the Orokin era. Well, at least the people who made the Corpus. As others put it: Fun fact: 'Corpus' is actually the Orokin word for 'Family.' So the Corpus literally translates to the Family. ...Were the Corpus originally the Orokin Mafia? And while it seems to have been MORE than just "this is their word for family", like some kind of social institution, given the way the Anti Moa Synthesis talks about it the Corpus as we understand it - the megacorporation with "freakin' lasers" - is actually more modern creation. It's rather interesting, now that it crosses my mind. Grineer once (in the Orokin Era) meant just this one race of cloned slaves, but in recent years the definition has evolved into "anyone who will serve the wishes of the Queens". While Corpus was once this large-reaching social institution of people who belonged together, but now seems to have "devolved" into a more specific "you're part of the company" definition.

MihawkDulacr1 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Grineer once (in the Orokin Era) meant just this one race of cloned slaves, but in recent years the definition has evolved into "anyone who will serve the wishes of the Queens". I wonder if the Queens might have been rebellious leader figures like the Steel Meridian Boss once :/ Edited June 17, 2015 by MihawkDulacr1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morec0 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I wonder if the Queens might have been rebellious leader figures like the Steel Meridian Boss once :/ Potentially. I myself see them more as the unifying conquers, bringing the otherwise scattered Grineer together into a single Empire - the timeline of such an idea in my head being; Old War Won > Orokin Fall/Tenno Vanish > Grineer start uprising in pockets, killing and enslaving remaining Orokin > Queens rise, begin > Empire is founded under them. Of course, that's assuming the Queens are ancient figures and not a more modern rise to power; a personal favorite theory of mine is that they were genetic rejects (by virtue of being conjoined twins) used for manual labor and then crawled their way out of that through murder and charismatic rallying... So... yeah, maybe? Though I see that as having happened more within the confines of a "might makes right" Grineer societal structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
