I'm thinking of writing a little story but i don't really know anything about the original lore and i would like to keep to some kind of original base topic (if that makes sense), some help would be greatly appreciated.

 

here's a few questions i have:

 

1. What exactly is Crion?

 

2. Is there a name for the planet we fight on oh so very much?

 

3. What are Prosk and Sentium other than two companys?

 

thats about it...

 

 

 

(oh and feel free to add any extra lore, the more the merrier)

Hawken: Some kind of deadly virus which killed a huge amount of ppl (I think)

 

 

 

1. Crion is a third faction (look at ZombieBiscuit's post)

 

2. Illal is the Hawken planet

 

3. Nothing more than companies dominating the world (what's left of it)

 

 

Correct me if I am wrong

THIS will be a nice hub of information once I get around to finishing it.

1. Crion is the third faction. However they are far more based on research and that sort. Their facility was actually the one that blew up and started the giga-structure.

2.Illal is the planet.

3. Prosk and Sentium are two competing interplanetary companies and the last two major companies on the planet.

More can be found in the linked thread, wiki, Hawken Graphic novels, or google.

Z?mbieBiscuit is a ninja. :)
The name of the planet is Illal.
Crion was a third company that experimented with a nanovirus that caused the giga-structure to devour the planet.
Seems like the first chapters of the HAWKEN Genesis comic are no longer free on ComiXology. :(

1. is 2.

 

Crion is the Hawken planet

 

Hawken: Soem kind of deadly virus which killed a huge amount of ppl (I think)

 

3. Nothing more than companies dominating the world (what's left of it)

 

 

Correct me if I am wrong

Wrong.

 

Illal is the planet.

 

The virus is called the Hawken Virus or the Giga Structure Virus (That's the stuff you see all over Origin)

 

The companies left are Sentium- very professional high quality manufacturers of mechs.  Prosk- more experimental, organic mechs made by the people.

 

Crion (a former company) was the source of the Hawken Virus, the facility exploded and it spread all over Illal.

 

More informational lore here: http://hawken.mirror...erse-bible-hub/

 

The former government was the UTA (or the United Terran Authority, the current Earth government of Hawken's universe).

Crion is another corporation that was in competition with Sentium and Prosk, the other two corporations. (You can see the Sentium and Prosk logos when you go to the official mech guides.)

Basically, Sentium and Prosk got envious of research that Crion was doing and one of them set off a bomb near the Crion HQ. Crion at the time just happened to be researching a nano-tech that would turn the battlefield into a living battlefield/increase quality of life for many. The explosion caused the nano-tech (now considered a virus) to spread throughout the main Crion region and engulfed and killed everyone. The nano-virus would become known as the Hawken Virus, named after the professor who was researching it. Hence the game name. That's the short version of that one.

 

The name of the planet is Illal.

 

Prosk and Sentium are basically governments in their own right. They each have massive areas where they have civilians who pledge allegiance to the corporation live. The only reason that the colonies on Illal exist is because mega corporations from Earth, like Sentium, Prosk, and Crion, invested and sent out research teams to build colonies. Because of the Hawken virus though, there is a planetary scale quarantine on Illal. No one leaves, no one gets out.

If you're interested in the game's lore you should also check out this guide: http://steamcommunit...s/?id=233230954

 

You can find compiled information about Hawken's factions, mechs and maps over there. It's called "A Complete Guide to Hawken: Economy, Progression, Mechs, Maps & Lore" for a reason. ;)

There are 4 parts of the extremely well made Hawken:Genesis graphic novel that can be found online. I think that the hard cover version is longer, and i have never found the other stories from it, though i have found some pics using google. There's also the 5 part Hawken:Melee series which u can buy. Melee has more diversity storywise and aesthetically, but in my opinion it kinda lacks the feel of the Genesis GN.

Kinda off-topic, so put in spoiler brackets.

Just a reminder, the mechs in hawken are actually called Axes, said like.... multiple pick axes. As stated, just a reminder. I wonder how many people would be interested in doing a literate role playing post. Where actual story is wrote person by person. O-o....

 

Should also state, there's quite a lot of lore to the game if you can find it. Like the planet (ILLAL (upper case to point out the L vs I)) is blockaded by some form of military to stop the spread of the hawken virus to other planets. The virus was named after the doctor that created it. The hawken virus will consume both living and non-living matter into itself and constantly self replicate. The map Origin/Titan (titan is the older name) is actually Crion it self, and actually in closed beta/alpha, it was actually called Crion for a bit.

Seeing as a lot of people have already piped in, I won't be repeating a lot of the info. There seems to be missing information about the differences between Prosk and Sentium, however, and the wiki doesn't explain much other than that they're both MPCs (Multi-Planetary-Corporations).

 

So, I shall elaborate to the best of my memory.

 

Prosk is a company based off providing cheap/affordable products to the masses. It often allows its districts to grow into dense, crowded urban places, with little cleaning and maintenance on the company's part. Going off the 'affordable products' ideal, Prosk has designed all the light mechs, which probably require less materials to make, and are thus cheaper (though this isn't necessarily true, and certainly does not reflect in-game). Their mechs tend to look more organic and smooth.

 

Sentium is a company based off luxury/high quality goods, in contrast to Prosk. According to the lore description for the Front Line map, it can be concluded that it keeps the districts under its control in good shape and hygiene. Sentium mechs may look more angular, though this isn't always true.

 

In Part 2 of Genesis, Prosk seems to have an advantage over Sentium in armor technology, stating that Prosk has the ability to make 'nano-cavorite' compared to Sentium's plain cavorite armor.

 

There's a lot of information in guides that got lost when the old forums shut down, so it'll take a while to get the information back up. The current guides don't cover much from the Genesis books, and from the previews it seems like it'd be a good source of info, so if you're really interested in the lore I'd suggest picking it up. I think it's about $10 or a bit less for a physical copy, and $7 for a digital one from Comixology.

 

Edit - Here's a link to a mirror of one of the most informative guides on the old forums. It's got A TON of information nobody else posted, so dig into it - http://hawken.mirror...erse-bible-hub/ Heh, I remember reading it in the old days.

from what i understand, Illal is just on planet of many under the UN equivalent called the UTA. illal is a planet covered mostly in mega cites that belong to the mega corperations of crion, setium and prosk. there is no central government for illal and frequent squables between the companies. after the hawken plauge was released, the UTA place the planet under quarantine. and factions are left to fight over resources. that is the basic gist from what i can remember.
