The player is one such colonist on the Hope, waiting to be awakened from hibernation.Īboard the dormant colony ship, the fugitive scientist Phineas Welles searches for help. This prevented a public uproar, as the Hope was supposed to arrive in Halcyon alongside the UDL-001 “Groundbreaker.” Instead, it was decided that the UDL-002 “the Hope” would be placed into the orbit of the ice planet Typhon, where its inhabitants would be forever forgotten. This ship was 25 years late at this point and people who have been in suspended animation for longer than intended suffer complications when you attempt to awaken them, which swayed the Board from reviving the hibernating colonists who had been left adrift for nearly one-hundred years. The face of this interstellar security force is led by Adjutant Sophia Akande and the arrest of Phineas Welles is at the top of her list.Īt some point before the story, the Board found a defunct colony freighter at the far edges of the system which caused a panic among the members. Made up of the ten CEOs that represent the Halcyon Holdings Corporation’s founding members, they are led by the enigmatic chairman Charles Rockwell, CEO of Universal Defense Logistics, and enforce the law on the worlds that they own. The Halcyon Holdings Corporate Board is the chief antagonist of The Outer Worlds. This makes the original colony ship the Groundbreaker the only place outside their jurisdiction, even if the Board has the means to enforce control over it. They enforce the law on every planet with a Halcyon corporate presence with the company Universal Defense Logistics acting as their military.
The Board is the ruling class of the Halcyon System and is terraforming every planet in it to achieve their utopian vision, for better or worse. This is especially prevalent in the sci-fi universe of The Outer Worlds, where human life is controlled by these mega-corporations and the owner of the Halcyon system is the Halcyon Holdings Corporate Board.
Large business trusts were never broken up and the infamous robber barons grew richer, leading to a hyper-corporate society ruled by the corporate elite. In this alternate timeline, United States President William McKinley was never assassinated in 1901, so Theodore Roosevelt never succeeded him. The Outer Worlds takes place in the distant future of 2355. What Do We Know About The Outer Worlds 2?.
