A background to the game

• The Virtuous Misfortune - A story that sets the scene
• Status Quo - This story was an attempt to provide a link between the back stories of Elite, Oolite and the later events of FE2/FFE, giving a newcomer to Oolite some background information on how things differ from Elite in a narrative context, reminiscent of the original Elite novella, 'The Dark Wheel' by Robert Holdstock. There is also a sequel Mutabilis by the same author.
• Powers and Organisations - Some histories of the various corporations and powers, both legal and illicit, that exist in the Oolite Galaxies.
• Mr Gimlet - A wise Blue Frog aboard Lave Station has some tips for new Commanders.
• The Rough Guide to the Ooniverse – a brief overview of the inhabitants, customs and cultures of Lave and other nearby worlds.
