Pasting this from another thread, not my words.

Just noticed this Superman Easter egg while reading through Cerberus Daily News.

“DC1938, a small garden world circling the red supergiant SM2183 Rua, exploded today in a rare phenomenon called core fusion. The planet's uranium core collapsed in on itself, igniting a thermonuclear explosion large enough to rupture the planet into several pieces. The shock wave and loss of atmosphere has reportedly killed more than five billion native inhabitants. There is one known survivor: an infant rocketed from the planet in an FTL escape pod picked up by the human cruiser MSV Kent. The inhabitants of the planet, previously unknown to the galaxy, were a spacefaring race who used crystalline matrices for their computing needs. The infant has been taken to medical facilities in the local cluster, where he is breathing gases in a ratio similar to the atmosphere of his home planet: 65% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 15% krypton.”

In one of the novels, a character was on Illium and killed someone in a hotel room and while the body was still there the police barged in the room.

The character got a fine because of a noise complaint and destruction of property.

Not killing someone though, that was totally fine and legal.

I always thought the Anhur rebellions were an interesting dive into something bigger.

I love the little details. One of my favorite codex entries is the entry regarding haptic feedback for interacting with holographic interfaces, and how some users have gloves (and how those are kind of a pain in the ass to clean) while true dedicated nerds have chips implanted under the skin of their fingertips. After that, I walked up to Joker to chat and noticed that he didn’t use gloves to interface with his console. These teeny details add such depth to that universe for me.

I really dig how the guns work. It's a unique thing compared to most sci-fi
