Lucas Bastos asked Ibrahim S. Amin:

Hello Ibrahim! Hope you're well and safe during these times. As a player for both LotS, Dawn and Clash, I never really bothered to read the lore. I was hit by nostalgia and decided to read and couldn't help but notice how Clash is set after the events of Dawn. Do you remember exactly how long after? As for LotS, does that take place in the same planet/solar system as Dawn and Clash, or another universe entirely?

Ibrahim S. Amin If I recall, we set Clash 250 years after Dawn. All the games I worked on at 5th Planet Games took place within the same fictionalised version of our own real-life universe. The idea was that Tor'gyyl, where Dawn and Clash happened, was originally the fifth planet in our solar system (hence the name of the company) -- between Mars and Jupiter, where the asteroid belt is now. The asteroid belt represented some of the debris from when Tor'gyyl exploded. Hence Suns did take place in the same universe, just far into the future, and on various worlds / systems, since the protagonists travelled around the galaxy a lot.
