== Story ==
Elite Dangerous features a shared narrative which is influenced by players on all different platforms. This occurs with community events like [[Salomé]], community goals and [[Powerplay]] activities. All of the meta data for the galaxy is shared between players. It's not traditional storytelling, rather an interactive, overarching narrative. Players have influenced and changed the course of events. The story unfolds in real time, in which players decide the outcomes and can be the stars.<ref>https://www.polygon.com/2014/12/16/7402069/elite-dangerous-launch-campaign-single-player-story</ref> The latest information on in-game events and stories are reported on [[GalNet]]. See the [[Elite Dangerous Timeline]] for a chronological list of events.
 
Braben explained: "We're bringing in a story that embraces all the players. People have said that Elite doesn't have a story. It does have a story, it just not a rescue the princess style single-player threaded story. What we have is the story of your life through the game, your progression. What we will have is things that happen to you as you reach certain stages of the game, you'll get invited to join things."
