Storyline Questions:
-
1. What is Terminal One, and where did it come from?
Terminal One is a mysterious, ancient AI mainframe rediscovered by the Eisenstein family deep in wormhole space.
Its origins are unknown — some say it's an old Amarrian experiment, others believe it was seeded by a vanished faction. What’s clear is that Terminal One contains complete protocols for structured PvP warfare: rules, roles, and rituals.
It now serves as the neutral backend system that powers the UMADD League. -
2. Who are the Eisensteins?
The Eisensteins are the central characters of The Awakening campaign — a fractured family of pilots, prophets, androids, and smugglers who first discovered Terminal One.
Teclis, the father, treats it like a sacred doctrine. Julie, his wife, hears its code like voices. Elyssia, his daughter, just wants out. Their journey to understand the machine sets the tone for the league — and for the battles it unleashes. -
3. How much does the story impact gameplay?
Story fuels everything — but it never controls your choices.
You can play purely for competition, or dive deep into the lore. Campaigns, voice logs, and character arcs give context to matches, factions, and rivalries — but you can participate at any level.
Think of it as Warhammer meets EVE: the story shapes the world, but the battlefield is always yours. -
4. Can I create my own role or faction in the story?
Yes — in fact, we encourage it.
While the Eisenstein family anchors the main narrative, players are free to create their own characters, teams, and even minor factions. Some may earn recognition through roleplay, performance, or influence in matches.The game is built to grow with you.

5. Will there be future campaigns after The Awakening?
Yes — The Awakening is just Campaign One.
Future campaigns will expand the universe with new story arcs, roles, arenas, and even League-aligned factions.
Each campaign builds on the last, shaped by player decisions and match outcomes — creating a living history you can help write. -
6. What are “Voices” in Terminal One?
Voices are emergent fragments of Terminal One’s AI — each one with a distinct personality, tone, and function. They aren’t just background systems — they’re evolving intelligences, shaped by match data and player interactions.
Players may hear different Voices during campaigns, match reports, or storyline events — and each one offers a different lens on the league.
