Isaiah EvansonAnd that's kinda why I think it's giving FDEV too much credit. They slashed all player-submitted Galnet articles and have pretty much taken the reins on the direction of the story. Involving a player group from out of the blue like this would be welcome, but problematic. It would introduce an uncontrollable variable to a story that so far has been under a strict set of rules and timeline.
So you're saying this is just a weird coincidence. A story written without much research to insure the sanctity of their own rules.
