The timeline of the Elite Universe is a continuation of real life modern history. [[Elite Dangerous]] takes place 1286 years in the future and moves at the same speed as real-life.

There's an emphasis on scientific accuracy~~. It's~~ sometimes subordinate to the gameplay experience. The setting is a full scale depiction of the Milky Way. It has a lot of hard science, with for the first time in gaming history, compose a very consistent model of the Milky Way galaxy and it's rich enough to plot the night sky.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOYhoFYIWmw</ref>

Technologically what sets the Elite Universe apart is the lack of ‘magical’ anti-gravity or [[gravity]] generators. Ships have no anti-gravity, nor do [[Outpost|outposts]] or [[station|stations]]. To move around requires pushing/pulling yourself, use thrusters or electromagnetic boots. Artificial gravity is created by centripetal force from rotation of (for example) a large space station.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/15od2s/i_am_david_braben_cocreator_of_elite_creator_of/c7qds39/</ref> There are no mystical wizards (Jedi) with unscientific, supernatural abilities.

The Thargoid ships and [[Thargoid Surface Site|surface sites]] share similarities with the 1979 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_(film) Alien] movie directed by Ridley Scott. The style seems to be influenced by the Swiss painter [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._R._Giger Hans Ruedi "H.R." Giger].

Galactic charts of space agencies like NASA and ESA were used to model the Milky Way galaxy.
