VAULTS | Their real purpose. Your thoughts?
I was mulling over this idea – surely, most likely wasting my time with it – of the purpose of a Vault.
The story we have is:
Long range scanners identified potential worlds, 600 years back. ...

We know our long range scans didn't pick up Scourge or Remnant 600 years ago. They state that in game. If Scourge was intended as a weapon against the Remnant facilities, read vaults and Meridian, then the Scourge must have come later, which is also stated in the game. What I wanted to brood over is WHY vaults were set in planets when those planets were already viable in first place. Why terraform something that's already suitable? Unless Meridian is a mechanism to spread life and not only terraforming per se, it makes one wonder why the vaults were constructed on places where they didn't need to do any work at all, regarding terraforming, not life spreading, I mean.
Jardaans must be millions of years old, for all I know or care. Besides that, Meridian, as I see it, is just one of many.
Well I am a bit fuzzy on the time lines here, but could it be possible that the terraforming was already done 600 years ago and the scourge then came later? I know the remnant structures were thought to be like 400 years old, but perhaps they were built well after the initial terraforming.
Just a thought.

I don't think you can accurate detect and date Remnant buildings. What with all the self-repair bots around.

Well that could be true too but I have no idea of verifying that either. My feeling is that the terraforming had already happened when we looked at Heleus 600 years ago, but it's all speculation of course.
