Cobalt

Lore & Background

The concept of a 'Cobalt' faction often arises from the visual language of Originium crystals, which frequently gleam with deep blue hues reminiscent of cobalt ore. However, contrary to some misconceptions, there is no established canon evidence that workers in Kazdel or Leithanien colloquially refer to high-purity veins by this name; such claims are purely speculative and not supported by official records. In reality, no unified command structure or ideological banner bearing the 'Cobalt' insignia exists within known canon.

Intelligence gathered by Rhodes Island confirms that there is no operation codenamed 'Cobalt,' nor has any Reunion splinter group ever adopted this designation. The lack of documented conflicts or diplomatic interactions involving this name further supports its status as a myth or minor anomaly rather than a geopolitical force. The lore surrounding 'Cobalt' serves more as a reminder of how easily misinformation spreads in a world where information is currency and Originium contamination clouds perception, often leading fans to conflate aesthetic descriptions with actual factional identities.

Reader's Guide

Ideology: Since 'Cobalt' is not an established faction with official records, no concrete ideology can be attributed to it. Speculation suggests that if a group used this name, they might align with mercenary interests or mining syndicates focused on Originium extraction. However, without verified members or manifestos, these remain conjectures. Leadership: No known leaders are associated with this designation.

Any claims of commanders or figures leading 'Cobalt' lack corroboration from Rhodes Island's archives or public media sources within the game world. Key Members: There are no confirmed operators or individuals publicly affiliated with a faction named 'Cobalt'. References to specific names in fan communities should be treated as non-canon interpretations. Goals: Due to the lack of existence, there are no defined goals.

If interpreted as a mining collective, their aim would theoretically focus on resource acquisition, but this is not supported by canon events. Relationships: No allies or enemies can be listed for an unverified entity. Interactions with groups like Rhodes Island, Reunion, or the Leithanien Empire are nonexistent in official storylines.
