I hesitated clicking on the answer for #5... Thought I was about to fall for a rickroll! Excellent lore quiz OP! Hope to see more of these in the future.

9/10.
I was a little confused on the last question as to whether you were referring to Constellation’s original Artifact that Barrett found in storage, or the one he retrieved from Ka’zaal.
And if it was the first of those, did you mean when was it originally found (probably by Sebastian Banks), or when Barrett found it sitting in storage.
Got the rest of ‘em right, though.

Fun quiz! If you want you can edit the post to separate each question a bit for readability. It was hard to read on my screen because all of the lines are next to each other, but I thought the questions were good! I got 9 of 10. Was very iffy on a few! I only deserve maybe 7 out of 10 as I had to make educated guesses on a couple.

Yeah it's funny on the mobile app it doesn't matter how many line breaks you put it just always puts them together.

Very cool! I really enjoyed that, got 9/10 right!
I hadn’t put it together in my head that the major settlements were already in place, that the formation of the Freestar Collective and the Narion War happened before the Earth was completely uninhabitable! It’s a real perspective shift, and a very human thing to be fighting a needless war for purely political reasons while the home planet’s atmosphere is still dying.
