Background Information[]
- Alejandro Melchor sadly passed away when this book was in late production.
- Although there are occasions when Ian acts as developer, this book predates Onyx Path settling on "Content Lead" to describe Ian Watson's role on the game line, so he is listed in the credits as Developer alongside John Snead . This would change by the next title, Quantum Entanglement.
- Alejandro teased to Ian that two of Eden's novas were intended to be characters from Aberrant, although he passed before confirming who. They are likely novox singer Alejandra as Diva, with the other less certain. Suggestions have included Bounty as Gardener and Cyrus Katrak as Pioneer.
