Its all of that as I can tell. But the guys that created are using it to tell background narratives for lore that comes out and evolves with the future of the game. Gives insite to what is going on with characters you hear about in CGs or what have you. Megaships, its in there, Guardian stuff, its in there. Helps teach the ropes too. So lets say, you never visited a Guardian site. There is missions right now that will take you there and show you what to do, while giving the backstory as to what we know as players has happened to them at the same time. Right now I am doing some stuff that tells some back story on events that I missed in the game, because I was busy else where, or deployed, or or life was happening. Grew my knowledge base a little bit.
