Starpoint Gemini 3 Lore Timeline

Little Green Men Games’ recently announced space-action RPG Starpoint Gemini 3 will be the fourth entry in the spacefaring series, and if you’d like to know how all these games fit into a single timeline, you can check out this Steam announcement that also promotes the game’s official Discord server. An excerpt:

In recent days, we got a number of questions regarding the timeline lore of all games from Starpoint Gemini series. Since each sequel had a different perspective on the events in the SPG universe, but they are all linked, we’ve decided to make a quick rundown of all major events dating back to a period even before the original Starpoint Gemini took place.

Hope you’ll like this little chronology, as it puts things in a linear, easy to follow chain of events.

Just to give you a heads up – timeline stops just as Starpoint Gemini 3 is about to begin. We wouldn’t want to spoil it for you…
