All you need to know about Harrison Armories is that Lancer doesn't have the Geneva Conventions; they have a list of "Things Harrison Armories Isn't Allowed To Do In Union Space".
I really hope we get more official information on the Aunics at some point, every time they're mentioned there's some really interesting seeming stuff.
Evidently, there are plans for an Aunic-focused expansion book (like the Field Guide to the Karrakin Trade Baronies), but it's on hold now that one of Lancer's two co-founders is working under a non-compete clause with a big gaming company and the other one is finishing up his webcomic and being a new dad. Presumably, the Field Guide to the Aun, the Field Guide to Harrison Armory, and No Room for a Wallflower Part II will be finalized and released once their schedules clear up. The only downside is that we have no way of knowing when that will be. Those books could drop this year. They could drop several years from now.
@@thomashooper2451 Do we know how many mysteries they plan to answer? I get leaving it for the GMs to fill in and let people come up with their own ideas, but its nice to have something solid to fall back on, ESPECIALLY with so much unexplained nonsense going on in the Lancer world.

Loving the Lancer Lore you bring, currently in a PF2e campaign with Lancer combat and mech stapled on there and although I think the GM is mostly homebrewing I figured it'd be good to learn some of the lore! 11dragonkid's Drink Deep & Descend also helps, but sometimes the text-to-speech they do makes it hard to understand.

My GM is currently building our first Lancer game. I'm playing a clone from a Harrison Armory skunk works designed to be an 'enhanced acquisition specialist'... The project failed, of course, so my guy is piloting a Caliban while I do my best Alex Jones screaming impression
Loving the LANCER content!! One thing I will note is that the Bene Gesserit aren't a great analagy for the Aunic Ascendancy. I've seen the comparison made before but honestly they're a better match for maybe the Order Xenoglossia from the Baronies. IMO a better analogy would probably be the Covenant from Halo. For anyone curious, as of right now (there's a rough draft of the Aun sourcebook but it hasn't officially been released) the Aunic Ascendancy have these people called Minds who are basically Guardians from Destiny? Like one branch of Minds can just straight up revive themselves after dying, one can manipulate elemental forces, and one that can teleport themselves or others (allowing the Aun access to effective FTL travel) just to name a few. I love them cause they're an existential threat to Union's hegemony over the Orion Belt, not to mention they have AN ACTUAL GOD (more or less but I mean cmon what else would you call a MONIST class entity?) that has blessed them. I know 11dragonkid has videos in his Drink Deep and Descend series that dives more in depth into them
Metat Aun is lightly implied to be RA. i am also unsure if it is on their side, if anything i think it's using the Aunic people to test Union. as to why i have no clue.
@@LilFeralGangrel I don’t think it’s implied they’re the same thing. They are similar but MONIST-1 is described as being roughly moon shaped and Metat Aun is basically a city sized monolith. They both have paracasual powers but interestingly enough when Union NHPs scan Aunic Souls (they’re like NHPs but implied to be the literal souls of dead Aun) all they see is a blank void. Also the Firmament (what the Aun tap into for their powers) is specified as being a separate space from blinkspace. I’m pretty sure Metat Aun is on there side? I mean you’re right there’s no way to completely know but Metat Aun did warn the Aun of the PISTON-1 strike.

Another amazing lore video on lancer. I remember learning that the Voladores where a bit of an odd faction when I was getting into lancer, but I didn’t realize that they where as old as 1st com. Also just wanted to quickly add that Piston 1 hasn’t actually hit its target yet, emphasis on yet.
Super helpful! I am trying to prepare a Lancer campaign and this helps me reinforce some lore in my mind and also get an idea on how to present things to my players. Also I should really print my copy to read it on paper... so listening to things is a good alternative too.
As I read the utopian pillars, I suddenly felt inspired. I'm ready to create something greater.... Also sorry for being the 67 comment and ruining order 66 =)
@@LilFeralGangrel According to a short story called 'This one That One' by the game's writers they (maybe?) aren't, or at least have different personalities and consider themselves separate. There also man or may not be a MONIST-3 that's decidedly not as nice that wants to "Devour them both and Sh*t out it's children", but what that means and what it wants is unclear except that it's probably apocalyptically bad. Lancer is co-created by the guy who wrote Kill Six Billion Demons, and it shows. Not that my weirdness loving heart is complaining.
I'd like to expand a bit on SecComm's ideology: Anthrochauvanism. Anthrochauvanism believed in humanity first, and a very specific vision for humanity. They imposed their order upon colonies, bulldozing any culture that formed. They believed that due to the hardships faced by humanity, they are justified in being the final arbiter of what should be. As the book puts it, "let humanity be all, and let all be as we are - in ensuring the survival of the species, the ends justify the means." They are responsible for the extinction of the only known other sapient organic species, the Egregorians on Hercynia. The Hercynian Crisis is what ultimately led to revolution and rise of ThirdComm.
Thank you for the breakdown, you're definitely improving on the trail off because when it happens, you're at least addressing it later in the video now.
Ok, so that kick-ass guitar techno song that starts playing when you talk about the Barronies (around 3:26), I must have this song. Also, love that I fell ass first onto your channel. These vids are great!
I really appreciate this video for bringing my attention to the Voladore. I think my biggest fears are talking about them or KTB as a DM. Maybe I should just lean into it and run a KTB game to get over my anxiety about them. 😏
I wish the Ender's Game quartet (specifically the last 3 books) were more popular bc there's totally some inspiration from those books in the Lancer lore
Great job as always man. But there's one thing that I gotta talk about. Metat Aun is classified as MONIST 2, While Ra is MONIST 1, Metat Aun also shows up way before Ra, so wouldn't that mean they're separate entities? Especially Since Ra is bound to Deimos, and Metat Aun appears as a Giant stone pillar?
Yeah, METAT AUN and RA are separate entities. Possibly related if you factor in some misc fiction and the strange interactions between Blinkspace and Firmament? But ultimately separate.
I mean if Ra is a paradox, what’s stopping it from going back in time and being Metat Aun - a new person to the lore who is probably missing something 😂
@@halyoalex8942 Theoretically, nothing. Practically, RA and Metat Sun have physically different vessels(the moon Deimos and a large pillar, respectively), and whatever Blinkspace and the Firmament are, they seem to be mutually exclusive(NHPs can't 'see' firmament in action iirc)
I feel like the Aunic civil war/invasion in the Boundary Garden and the Karrakin-Harrison pissing contest in the Dawnline Shore could probably be videos of their own. Those seem like the two biggest problems facing Union in the core books.
@@KaJuHD Aha, I thought you were saying this as someone who is already familiar with Lancer. If you're new to all of this, then, yeah, all I really did was bury you in word salad.
@@thomashooper2451 lol nah alg i gathered that you refferenced two conflicts and the places that they happened and the fact that its a problem for union
The Aunics were a faction that started as one of The Ten. Ten space colonies, shipped off to a "Gaia Class Planet." when Earth was about to nuke itself to the stone age. 900 years they spent on that ship, and the desire to see their promised land grew into a religion. Unfortunately thanks to innovations in tech and Union being able to plot star courses better than when The Aunic ship first launched, when the Aunics finally did get to their planet, it was already colonized by union, lol. They Hated Union ever since, even though the Aunics got to keep their promised Planet.
What order do you recommend watching your LANCER videos in for someone new to LANCER? The playlist seems a little jumbled around and I'm wondering where to start. Thanks!
So when first making the LANCER videos I didn't really have an order in mind. I was more just talking about the subjects that interested me in the setting. Due to this it's ended up jumbled. Intro to - is more an onboarding quick run throw of cool stuff and that you're playing as lancers. Setting Basics - More a junk drawer of things within the settings (locations, classifications, tech, and such) Manufacturers - GMS, SSC, IPS-N, Horus covers the faction in lore, location, and briefly going over their mechs (not number crunchy, more theme) Union history videos - currently only the fall of humanity then Union First Comm up at the moment. Covers the early timeline. LANCER Factions - has brief run throughs of some of the galactic stage and what's happening in the modern setting kick off. Hope this helps.
Core book near the start of page 393. It's not much more than that since it's a peoples summary. The Karrakin Field Guide reflects some of the scale and time.
The Aunic Ascendancy has a whole caste system and the people with psionics are second class citizens, they are also implied to be from the future. I wonder if the Voladores are as well?
The Voladore seem kinda out of place in this video given that every other group you mentioned is a major player in galactic politics to some extent, but you didn't mention any other smaller powers like the Sparri or Albatross. Hell, the Ungratefuls are an very interesting faction that's kind of an important aspect of the Union/KTB relationship. They even have their own personal Horus frame that's Core System is to emit hundreds of thousands of death screams while projectile vomiting.
It's more because in Cent comm they are treated as more of a galactic power with a contact embassy on Cradle. It has a culture and history separate to being within Union space while the others are still in the hegemony in some way. When it came to the Ungratefuls they're still relatively regulated to Karrakin space (felt more fitting for a video focusing on Karrakin turmoils). I see your points, some of these were even in the original draft of this video, the Voladore are just the ones that managed to hang on. Though it is definitely the odd ball out of the group.
The Voladores have this kinda... sweden-esque stance in the world of Lancer. It's kinda downplayed that their nomadic and secretive culture is actually a huge part in getting worlds that aren't allied with Union in touch with Union. Especially seeing as Unions Transition from Seccom to Thirdcom was relatively a soft Coup. The Voladores usually inform worlds that Union has indeed turned a new, mostly good, leaf.
Can someone help me please? I forgot the name of the lancer group that is basically the blue angels only for Mechs and works for 3rd comm. One of my players wants to have a back story involved with them. Neither of us can remember their name!
As the game is a ttrpg, you can homebrew those in, though a note about aliens: Humanity has encountered one race: the hycerians. And Humanity really, and I mean really ISNT proud of what happened. Seccom (the power before union) were anthrochauvnists (which, at first blush seems like a prideful "Humanity first!" Ideology, until you dig deep and realize it's basically the Austrian German failed painter man's racial theory, the sort where a person with the slightest negligible difference in anatomy is marked as 'subhuman') and so seccom tried to wipe out this race, in spite of them being entirely open to diplomacy and posing literally no threat as they weren’t even interstellar. This is partly why union created the 'NHP' marker, as it stands for "none human person', basically acknowledging that, while the individual isn't human, they'll still hold all the same rights of one within union.
I'm sorry but as Dune nerd this is my obligation to state that your statement at three minutes into the video of claiming the bene Gesserit use psychic powers is false! Yes in the original 1984 movie this is the case as well as other depictions of the dune universe. But in the main books the Bene Gesserit are not psychic, they have trained in the ways of reading someone's expressions and being able to manipulate them with a unique tone of voice that causes someone's body to react without thinking. In the newest Dune movie the voice is given a weird sound effect but that is not the case in the source material, the Bene Gesserit are simply masters of human psychology able to predict and control people to their will.
I get it. Been awhile since I read the first book and when doing my notes for the video saw the bene Gesserit thrown around as a comparative group. Also more meant in the religious order sense, but yeah it's muddled when talking about the powers.
Ok so, wack fucking theory, Horus is Ra’s brother and they were both born from the same error, Horus just made itself known later and doesn’t actually fuck with reality. Second wack theory, Horus and Ra are going to fight at some point and it’ll fuck EVERYTHING up Edit: Should clarify, Horus doesn’t fuck with reality to the same extent as Ra
Horus TOTALLY fucks with reality. They've Made Meta Vaults and have Paracausal tech in almost EVERY Frame they've made, See The Pegasus or The Lich for good examples of such unruly behavior.
Uh, there's 2 technically speaking. The First and probably most Prominent would be NHP's. Despite Being Digital beings, they're all capable of displaying godlike power when they don't see themselves as human anymore. Second, We had The Egregorians... Unfortunately, Thanks to Seccom being "Anthrochauvinist" (A Fascist Political faction meaning "Humanity First") The Egregorians are All But/ Are Extinct. Lot of people homebrew that Egregorians made it after the tragedy of their homeworld tho.
I should also Mention that Egregorians are psychic bugs, with a Ant hive mentality, they all serve a boss bug, but retain their personality. some look like moths, others look like mantis, it kinda depends on what their job is when they're born.
Really good stuff, but your accent made me really fucking confused whenever you said aunic, I thought you were saying yonic Yonic assembly is like calling yourselves the kingdom of phallus
This videos structure is so odd, why’d you split it into sections introducing each faction then go back and go into further detail. Comes off a bit messy ngl
calls a group Spanish, puts them in a Mexican sombrero from the dollar store... ok. :/ ah man I do really like you're videos, I hope you come to learn why stuff like that is disappointing. have a good day.
Unions my least favorite part of the setting. The writers put tons of effort into nuance and intricacies of different factions, and then Union is just a Mary Sue nation. Maybe if the people of Union were extremely hedonistic and depraved from everything being given to them, or perhaps a sort of mind control factor keeping the populace from going crazy/corruption in the government, there’d be something interesting there. But as it stands, if Union ever gets involved it’s “side with me or you’re a dick”
What you suggest sounds really really stupid and much more like the type of propaganda Harrison armory would spread. Why is it a bad thing that there's a definite good guy in the setting? If I wanted misery porn where "there is only war and depravity" I'd go to the universe of midtier writing that is warhammer. Tldr: you sound like a Harrison armory agent, repent scum.
Oh wow I just looked at your other comments. The idea of a moral good to strive towards really offends you huh? Go back to your warhammer toys why don't you?
Union exists in the way it does to allow players to play the good guys without forcing them to side with reprehensible people. The setting itself also isn't supposed to be grimdark. So having union be hedonist kind of messes with the tone. If you want to make the setting more hopeless, just union a group that childishly naive and destined to fail.
I cannot wait for people to ask me about lancer and me to show them this entire video series
When it comes to Lancer, there are only two channels for me. This one and 11dragonkid
For me too. This has a wholly different tone than Dragonkid's Drink deep and Descend series and is more approachable in my opinion.
Thebadluckgamer has some good mech breakdowns if you want a third option
Yeah, this series is going to be my session 0 primer for my players when I finally convince them to try lancer.

Which one of these factions is the most like the southeast Dutch trading company
Music used in Karrakin section???
Dance of the gypsies - hanu dixit
Do you also have a more newcomer friendly video I can send to my friends who do not know lancer at all but I bet would be interested?
Does anyone know what music is playing whenever he’s talking about the Trade Baronies?
Whats that song playing when talking about horus? It slaps
Alpha legion vibe was mentioned in past videos in reference to Horus. But then you said “space 4chan”. I’m so in and I’m ashamed
Can someone help me please? I forgot the name of the lancer group that is basically the blue angels only for Mechs and works for 3rd comm. One of my players wants to have a back story involved with them. Neither of us can remember their name!
Glory to the ungratefuls
RA isn't Metat Aun! Ra is MONIST-1, while Metat Aun is Monist-2 and somehow even less understood!
Got it mixed that they were comparable entities. Thought some in Union claimed they were the same.
Yo first?! It's a good night
Will there be any Xenos or autonomous robot factions in the future?
As the game is a ttrpg, you can homebrew those in, though a note about aliens:
Humanity has encountered one race: the hycerians. And Humanity really, and I mean really ISNT proud of what happened. Seccom (the power before union) were anthrochauvnists (which, at first blush seems like a prideful "Humanity first!" Ideology, until you dig deep and realize it's basically the Austrian German failed painter man's racial theory, the sort where a person with the slightest negligible difference in anatomy is marked as 'subhuman') and so seccom tried to wipe out this race, in spite of them being entirely open to diplomacy and posing literally no threat as they weren’t even interstellar. This is partly why union created the 'NHP' marker, as it stands for "none human person', basically acknowledging that, while the individual isn't human, they'll still hold all the same rights of one within union.
Who knows the music that plays during Karrakin part?
Brother i found it it's Pinic - Adnan Hossain, enjoy
@@antekaielowski4733 huh, so it has another name
@@sensarnaElaborate?
@@antekaielowski4733 I've found it some time ago as Dance of the gypsies by Hanu Dixit. Is someone stealing music?
@@sensarna by the looks of it, but we found it so have a great day.
New Lancer video?
God, the First Contact accord makes me so upset. I YEARN for more Ra Info lol.
Hello it's me, I would like one lancer please.
Oh out of fingerless gloves? Okay... I can do without them I guess...
I'm sorry but as Dune nerd this is my obligation to state that your statement at three minutes into the video of claiming the bene Gesserit use psychic powers is false! Yes in the original 1984 movie this is the case as well as other depictions of the dune universe. But in the main books the Bene Gesserit are not psychic, they have trained in the ways of reading someone's expressions and being able to manipulate them with a unique tone of voice that causes someone's body to react without thinking. In the newest Dune movie the voice is given a weird sound effect but that is not the case in the source material, the Bene Gesserit are simply masters of human psychology able to predict and control people to their will.
I get it. Been awhile since I read the first book and when doing my notes for the video saw the bene Gesserit thrown around as a comparative group. Also more meant in the religious order sense, but yeah it's muddled when talking about the powers.
@@Zaktact I totally get it no ill will at all, im just caught up in Dune right now since im reading the series for the first time.
What does 'T B K' mean?
Total Biome Kill. Not just a large explosion, but weapons designed to purposely make regions uninhabitable on a large time scale.
@@Zaktact Thank you for the explanation 😁
Ok so, wack fucking theory, Horus is Ra’s brother and they were both born from the same error, Horus just made itself known later and doesn’t actually fuck with reality. Second wack theory, Horus and Ra are going to fight at some point and it’ll fuck EVERYTHING up
Edit: Should clarify, Horus doesn’t fuck with reality to the same extent as Ra
Horus TOTALLY fucks with reality. They've Made Meta Vaults and have Paracausal tech in almost EVERY Frame they've made, See The Pegasus or The Lich for good examples of such unruly behavior.
@@jacobmoorman6323 I meant doesn’t fuck with reality in the same way as Ra
Is there any alien in this setting?
Uh, there's 2 technically speaking. The First and probably most Prominent would be NHP's. Despite Being Digital beings, they're all capable of displaying godlike power when they don't see themselves as human anymore. Second, We had The Egregorians... Unfortunately, Thanks to Seccom being "Anthrochauvinist" (A Fascist Political faction meaning "Humanity First") The Egregorians are All But/ Are Extinct. Lot of people homebrew that Egregorians made it after the tragedy of their homeworld tho.
I should also Mention that Egregorians are psychic bugs, with a Ant hive mentality, they all serve a boss bug, but retain their personality. some look like moths, others look like mantis, it kinda depends on what their job is when they're born.

further confirmation that latinos can control time
LETS FUCKINGOOOOO
I just watch... a mexican hat confussion to spanish one??
Really good stuff, but your accent made me really fucking confused whenever you said aunic, I thought you were saying yonic
Yonic assembly is like calling yourselves the kingdom of phallus
2nd
I dont like the federation i like robots and democracy
This videos structure is so odd, why’d you split it into sections introducing each faction then go back and go into further detail. Comes off a bit messy ngl
calls a group Spanish, puts them in a Mexican sombrero from the dollar store... ok. :/
ah man I do really like you're videos, I hope you come to learn why stuff like that is disappointing.
have a good day.
Oh boo hoo, you poor baby.
Unions my least favorite part of the setting. The writers put tons of effort into nuance and intricacies of different factions, and then Union is just a Mary Sue nation.
Maybe if the people of Union were extremely hedonistic and depraved from everything being given to them, or perhaps a sort of mind control factor keeping the populace from going crazy/corruption in the government, there’d be something interesting there. But as it stands, if Union ever gets involved it’s “side with me or you’re a dick”
What you suggest sounds really really stupid and much more like the type of propaganda Harrison armory would spread. Why is it a bad thing that there's a definite good guy in the setting? If I wanted misery porn where "there is only war and depravity" I'd go to the universe of midtier writing that is warhammer.
Tldr: you sound like a Harrison armory agent, repent scum.
Oh wow I just looked at your other comments. The idea of a moral good to strive towards really offends you huh? Go back to your warhammer toys why don't you?
Union exists in the way it does to allow players to play the good guys without forcing them to side with reprehensible people.
The setting itself also isn't supposed to be grimdark. So having union be hedonist kind of messes with the tone. If you want to make the setting more hopeless, just union a group that childishly naive and destined to fail.
@gystes_ don't bother. The dude is basically a squatter who goes "WAAA WHY ISNT THIS SETTING LIKE MY WARHAMMER MISRRY PORN WAHHHH"
@@gystes_Writing a faction with flaws is not “grimdark”. It’s called believability. People aren’t perfect. So things we create won’t be either.
