Ruins? - Page 2

It dosen't say what happened to the Vanu, just that they were gone. But as far as the 1000+ years thing, I guess I just wasn't paying attention to it.

So what if you can't shoot at sanc? It would be kinda cool to look at.

I would place my bets on the Vanu leaving the planet.

They could be an alien society that lives by peace and follow a policy of "knowledge is power." Therefore, aside from the warpgates and that symbol on Oshur, before the Vanu left Auraxis they scoured the planet of their existence so they would remain a mystery(after all, the less that is known about you, the less that can be done against you).

For religious, spiritual, or societal reasons they left the warpgates intact. Perhaps these warpgates were the first the Vanu ever constructed, and that they pioneered the way for even more powerful technology that launched them into space and the galaxy beyond.

Since I'm just speculating all this, I would assume they left the warpgates as a memory and monument to the first achievement that catapulted their species into an age of enlightenment and exploration. They tore down everything else, but they couldn't bear to tear down their inventions that gave them birth to a new age.

Edit: Yes, the Terran Republic has been around for 1000 years, but Auraxis was discovered about 30-32 years ago, which is why there are no TR ruins either

The entire core of the planet is made of vanu tech and so is the thing that opens when you hack the CC. Its what controls the nanites and makes respawning possible, it's also the thing that fuels the warpgates.

Let me see if i can find the source, think it was a dev post on the beta forums but not 100%.

All the Vanu are belived to have trancended into a higher form of existance and they have left Auraxis.

Don't mix the Vanu race whit the Vanu Sovreignity. The VS are made up entierly of human and not Vanu (the alien race).

Or prehaps they're comming back. There's a thought for you.

That would be an awsome suprise for the devs to do, don't tell anybody about it. Then one day invincible aliens played by the devs come out of all the warp-gates.
