I like the viewpoint you chose, that depending on how long ago the Grey Tempest went rogue, you may find them still active, or you may find them as L-drakes, or after they’ve given up and chosen to relent in their campaign of consumption, you find Grey. Kinda like the replicators on Asgard in SG-1

Yeah it's a really well written event that the situations you get all tie together... the L-drakes is the only one that isn't quite clear where in the timeline they fit but Grey eludes to trying different shapes and sizes, so i figured it was inbetween!

@@TheRedKing I’d say the L drakes are in between the imitation of the dessanu consonance and grey as grey says that he can longer become multiple ships/forms at once indicating that he(the nanites)decayed over time and considering the imitation of their former overlords containing every little detail of citizens and ships that implies that it was the first thing they did before then becoming the L drakes as there are only 6(I think)of them meaning that the nanites still had the capacity to take multiple forms but could neither be extremely big or in extreme numbers. This then brings us back to grey as as he can only take 1 form at a time which shows us that most of the nanites have decayed and that a large amount of time has passed this is directly before the empty system outcome. Also Damn that was one hell of a paragraph. Also Also, I forgot to add that the grey tempest is at the front of the timeline meaning the dessanu consanance was the second thing they did.

Probably some fallen empire built them at some point, at strategic points, the rests being covered by hyper relays, , which needing more care, have been so severely depleted that they crumbled very long ago or have been scrapped by marauder empires. Gateways on the other hand, as a feat of technology that advanced stroke fear in space fearing scrappers. The fact you can repair them so easily is because they're not that deprecated. And their inner tech makes them impossible to destroy.

I thought when ever i see them bunched up its almost like a center of what used to be a heavy trafficked area with the relays like a highway of sorts that lead to its hearts. While the other much more distant gates or L’s being possible other small sections of that said empire

one thing to note, there are a few events and systems where you can still get nanites, meaning the recall wasn't entierly sucessfull. it's also pretty cool that the system in wich the scrapper bot spawns has a deposit of nanites, I do love how this details shows us that given enough time, the nanites can reactivate independently.

That shot at 10:56 made me think of if gateways could work as a sort of Panama canal limiting the maximum size of ships so that they'd be able to use gateways

It was informative and enjoyable. Tbh, it's an interesting thing that normal gateways must be constructed outside stars gravity well, but L-gates must be constructed close to black hole "for energy". It sounds like local spacetime curvature is a big factor when comes to using them. For in galaxy travel, they must be in "neutral" space that is curved only by galactic core and dark matter. But for extragalactic links, like to L-cluster, gateways need other type of spacetime curvature calibration - from black holes which have similar gravitational mass and produce similar curvatures. Although, it's only a hypothesis, from one observation. Nonetheless, if my hypothesis is true I can answer the question stated in the video: it should be possible to create a new web of gateways disconnected from the rest, just by adjusting their constants for spacetime curvature calibration to specific gravitational wells. I propose Neutron Stars for first tests - even if they are quite unwelcoming stellar bodies, finding at least two with similar gravitational wells should be simple, as gravitational mass range for them is smaller than the range for black holes.

The outcome depends on *when* the nanites went rogue and BTFOd the real Dassanu. Tempest = Only killed the Dassanu a few millennia or even centuries ago, and still exist in their original form as the “opening crisis” that turns populated planets into balls of soup Fake Dassanu- Had time (a few hundred-thousand or million years, after the Irassians were alive) to think about what they did, and cope with their regrets by trying to create a simulation of their planets as they originally were, as well as their civilization and space-nation. Gray- Starting to degrade; eventually consolidates into one mass. Extremely bored due to being the only sapient thing left in the L-cluster for millions of years, with nothing new left to explore for MILLIONS OF YEARS, so bored that as soon as you show up he immediately swears loyalty to your empire for 5000 years (a mere blink to him even though you’ll be at best a fallen empire by then) just because it gives him something *new* to do L-Drakes: Nanites almost completely degraded; the real Dassanu were eradicated only a couple million years after the Vultaum broke the fourth wall and committed self-genocide. To preserve himself, Gray turns the nanites into large, peaceful space fauna as the perfect redemption arc for himself; *creating* life instead of tearing its molecules carbon group from carbon group.
