The original [[Blazing Umbra Station]] was originally a large space station of unknown class with no deck plans or designs other than an external image. It has been changed to be a [[Class K Space Station]], which is retconned back to its discovery to avoid having to write a reason on why the space station was changed. Several modifications to the Class K designs had to be made as well, they are noted in the stations page. | The original [[Blazing Umbra Station]] was originally a large space station of unknown class with no deck plans or designs other than an external image.

The setting of Solas Tempus / Blazing Umbra goes through changes on occasion, some of these impact the future and some have to be retconned in. This is a change log for various changes to the setting, focusing on changes that had to be retconned into the back-story.
Combadge / Communicator
2017/03/05 I had never intended for combadges to be used in the game really, they are a rather Startrek trope that I never overly cared for. Sure easier to use but also too small, too compact. If one is going to be able to miniaturize things that much why not mix the tricorder into a communicator? In Star Trek the Motion Picture, Kirk wears a wrist-mounted communicator, and that always seemed the best place for one to be always on ones person. Even today wearable computers mostly take the form of watches.
Another player in the very early inception of the Blazing Umbra server started to use combadges for new arrivals. The idea was that the Solas Tempus Communicator was too powerful (packs a lot of features into a small space) but, I think that could be worked around. Besides since each one contains a small HAL Computer System hub, and those hubs provide information to HAL via BlueNet, it makes sense you'd want them out there collecting data. Since the RP has taken off I've been wanting to change things for a while now, so now is the time.
Blazing Umbra Station / Schatten Star System
2017/02/09 The original Blazing Umbra Station was originally a large space station of unknown class with no deck plans or designs other than an external image. It has been changed to be a Class K Space Station, which is retconned back to its discovery to avoid having to write a reason on why the space station was changed. Several modifications to the Class K designs had to be made as well, they are noted in the stations page.
Switching up the types of planets that are there in order to provide better role play opportunities. Schatten III will become Soteria and Schatten V will now be a volcanic planet of similar size. Both will mysteriously show signs that they were created with a Genesis device. This will allow for things to be done planet side with relative ease, and more RP opportunities.
