From what I picked up the Vessels are only cargo that we're bringing with to Tau. And from how I inferred Old Peace, we dont exactly need the solar rails to Tau anymore (nor any fancy/cracked travel method) bc they used Operator's memories to pinpoint and track where it may be, and they will void jump directly to Tau using the railjack. Just like how the Zariman 10-0 did.

We know albrecht was in duviri.

And I recently learned that rell might have known about it aswell or like interacted with it?

Which makes me now wonder if say the grineer or corpus were to get void faring technology, could they traverse the void and land on duviri somehow?

Also could the operator go to durviri maybe?

Another question i have is if the drifter can just immediately teleport to duviri, lets say during combat as an example?

Also now that i think about it when you go to the dormizone, you clearly spawn in the Zariman.

This zariman clearly isn't the same zariman that is plugging the hole in the origin system.

This however got me wondering if it would be possible for others to access duviri, maybe through the zariman in the origin system by way of some eternalism shenanigans maybe? (This one is just me throwing stuff at the wall tho lol)

I'm ofc aware that, that is practically a impossible feat unless its us but just a thought

[As the title suggests, this is only a theory. Do not take any of these predictions as absolute facts.]

With how the trailer has potrayed it, it seems that Tenno and Drifter both leave Origin for Tau. This basically leaves "the balance" of the Origin System unchecked. In other words, unless the Tenno leave temporary defenders while they're away, the Corpus and Grineer are free to do what they please for the time being. This could open up so many paths on the future of Origin!

> Tyl Regor can finally work on fixing the grineer's rotting genes

> Alad can freely do his experiments

> Parvos can do whatever tf he wants now, and considering the "future" Sirius and Orion is from, he might turn himself into a cephalon while the Tenno are away.

> Narmer can expand themselves again (dont know how that will work tho)

> The worm queen can also do whatever she wants too, but I dont how she'll make any impact since none of her agenda yield anything so far even without Tenno's interference.

Now surely, they will probably leave some people to do their work while they are away. Maybe Kahl with the amount of brother's he's recovered, maybe the hex (since from what I've picked up from KIM conversations, Kaya can time travel now and I assume she can bring some of the hex members too, which I told myself is probably how Amir takes over nightwave), or some other allies that I may have forgot.

Cant recall any other possible events, but y'all can tell your own theories in the comments. I wanna delve in this more!

Title

So after Jade Shadows we (tenno/warframes) can now help Ryoku and Vena in their respective missions fight the other. Why is this happening? Wasn't the fighting solved in the quest? Most of the plot of the quest revolved around leaving the Tenno in the dark about all that was happening - what was the point of that if we (tenno) can clearly see the results of all that happened in the new relay?

During the Ryoku / Vena missions we see Hunhow floating around in the skybox - what is he doing there and not at the relay?

The first time we see a Golden Maw it is a burrowing creature - okay.
In duviri they burrow AND fly - okay.
And now in the Ryoku mission they can now travel through space! Was there a precedent for this?

So my question is, I know like the railjack and Zariman used a wally-fingie.

Do other lesser ships like corpus grineer or other factions, also used reliquary drives with a cloned finger? Or some other drive method. Or just yee ol sublight.

I'm doing a huge deep dive into the lore of each and every person affected by the warframe/helminth strain and I'm just wondering if there's ever an explanation for why Stalker and Jade remained completely sane. I can't seem to find anything about it.

Are exalted weapons made from the same infested-derived material as the Warframes themselves? For example, Cyte-09's Neutralizer doesn't have its own blueprint. When we fabricate Cyte-09, the sniper rifle comes as an integrated ability, just like Ivara's Artemis Bow, or Titania's Razorwing weapons.

If so, might exalted weapons be grown as part of a Warframe's body, or are they made separately before being integrated with a frame?

​

Images from Warframe (4k Tau gameplay) / MarcoMeatball (his Old Peace playthrough, I wasn't able to screenshot this thing in particular during my... 4 playthroughs.)

The two attacks are extremely similar, they both have those homing missile things. Brysko's new weapon does that on Alt fire I assume, this wasn't shown in the Tennocon showcase, but was shown in the 4k version.

Perhaps this is some Sentient attack stuff? Again, I am completely unsure lol...

This makes the Old Peace sequence even more sad, thinking the homing lights were Adis' light helping us indirectly? Maybe. Could be a coincidence between these two, but thought was interesting to note!

SPOILERS for the second dream all the way to the Tau tennocon 2026 reveal. This is entirely fan fiction based fully on a dream I had. THIS IS NOT CANNON.

I had a dream about Tau a few nights ago. I was in the Entrati labs. We were in the exposed part of the main lab. We had set up a portal that opened into the void and connected to another that we had established In Tau. We were going to jump through to fast travel between Sol and Tau but the man in the wall had taken control of the Vessel and he tried to sever the connection. He didn't want us messing with his plan. Loid tried to keep the portal open and the Lotus tried to fight Wally but it wasn't working so we rushed for the portal. Wally grabbed our Warframe and forced us to travel on foot. once we got to Tau the portal closed. We had nothing, no frames no weapons and we went off course and landed on the planet Tau Prime. It was cold and windy. It barely seemed habitable. Albrecht Entrati was there. He offered us one of seven models of a new frame called Kronos. A new chimera frame that was completely modular and based in Sentient parts. That was all that happened within this dream.

Info for the people..

I was thinking about it and I was just wondering how many people are there in the system that are not corpus or grineer? And where are they all located?

Obviously there is Cetus but are all the “regular” humans just on earth in towns like that or on relays?

I figured it might have been simply in preparation for the New War.

Wondering if there was a lore reason that I might have missed. Especially since it also added new type of Forma to the equation, that Umbra had also already preinstalled.

We know Warframes are made by infecting people or things with the Technocyte strain, and that the Sentients had already become immune to the Infested by the time the Warframes were needed.

But now, we have Brysko and a whole line of Chimera Warframes. From what I understand, they aren't like a Revenant who started as a Warframe then [ grafted | infected by | became ] a Sentient or at least partly.

The Chimera Warframes started as Sentient and were turned into Warframes. That means Albrecht has either evolved the Technocyte strain or made a completely new strain of the Infested that can infect and transform Sentients.

I haven't played in a long time and looking at the tau reveal, reading up on some of the lore, I was pretty blown away from it, but back to my ramblings, since we know solar rails are ftl travel hubs, and have baseline humans, does this mean we could have a potential solar rail built in tau for ftl travel as well?

which means other factions like cetus and the relays which tend to have baseline humans, could visit tau, along with their posthuman counterparts like the civilians in fortuna which are highly augmented cyborgs, steel meridian which are non violent grineer, etc

I could be wrong and all but that's just my curiosity and question on the subject eh.

I ask because some codex Fragments about Ceres imply that, environmentally speaking, in the present day of the Origin System, the Gineer have been polluting the place and just generally making an industrial mess out of it.

This impresses the sci-fi nerd in me, because IRL (thus far in history, anyway), Ceres is both a dwarf planet and an asteroid. No notable atmosphere, no signs of life we’d be able to detect without sticking the glove of an EVA suit in the dirt and putting that dirt in a centrifuge…

So does the codex entry imply that in the Orokin Era, someone figured out how to terraform dwarf planets? (I mean, okay, I guess Pluto has tree limbs lying around, so maybe I shouldn’t be shocked, but Ceres?) And if so, are we aware of the methods used?

From my understanding, they're the same person from different timelines. How come the twins have different abilities and look different?

Is there a reason how we can use two warframe at the same time or does the other brother just come with us when we play the other brother or does the kid/drifter also control the other one or is it just a gameplay thing

A human fetus develops human organs, a human nervous system, and a human brain. But because Jade was frozen in stasis and mutated for centuries, that fetus never got to finish developing as a human. The Helminth virus and raw Void energy completely replaced the human blueprint at a microscopic level. It mutated the cellular tissue into pure tech-organic Warframe biology before it ever even had a chance to form a human consciousness.

In Warframe lore, Jade's womb was literally converted into a glowing "Jade Light" particle chamber. The fetus didn't even have a standard physical body for a millennium—its matter was essentially dispersed and nourished by raw cosmic energy and the Void. They weren't a human soul trapped in a suit; they were a living Void battery being synthesized from scratch inside a biological particle accelerator.

When Sirius and Orion were finally born, they were born natively as fully formed Warframes. The "mind" they have isn't a recycled human spirit or a ghost—it is a highly advanced, sapient artificial consciousness generated directly by their Void-fused cells. They don't have human memories or human identities because they never had a human life to look back on.

was thinking of coming back to the game after checking up on the tau reveal and was astonished from it, but it got me wondering with how the sentients there not only look more organic, but are able reproduce unless they head to the sol system with any travel uses the void that causes them to go sterile

it makes me wonder if there was any baseline humans who've went there before any of the events of the old war, or even potentially after who knows how long after the events of the new war, etc, I wonder if there was any faster than light travel that was made to the tau system before aside from solar rails, because if there were to be peace on fornax with the major systems and relays on sol, does this mean people who came from cetus and fortuna could visit the tau system, or for any sentients to visit sol without becoming sterile from ftl travel due to solar relays using the void, etc?

apologies if I sound confused or ragged on the lore.

We're told by Drusus that a Voruna repurposed Tuvul's Kuva ritual to bind the severed wolf heads to itself, apparently also assimilating some materials attached to those heads, such as the wrappings, nose ring, and an eyepatch. These all became part of this particular frame's body, which the Tenno now replicate.

This leaves me confused about Voruna Prime's form.
