Key terms the game never explains — Protocore, Evol, Wanderers, Backtrackers, and more.
Love and Deepspace never stops to explain itself. This glossary defines the recurring terms — Protocore, Evol, Wanderers, Backtrackers and more — in plain language, with links into the events where they matter.
A Protocore is a crystallised energy fragment created by the Chronorift. Fragments of one are lodged in MC’s heart, which drives Zayne’s medical arc.
Wanderers are hostile entities that appeared after the Chronorift Catastrophe. Deepspace Hunters are trained to track and destroy them.
Backtrackers are members of a faction operating around the Chronorift and Protocore technology; defectors such as Isaiah and Soren are entangled with EVER.
The Deepspace Tunnel is the space-time rift that tore open above Linkon City in 2034, releasing Wanderers and triggering the Chronorift Catastrophe.
The Aether Core is the rare energy core connected to MC. EVER’s pursuit of it is the motive behind the Bloomshore explosion that killed Josephine and faked Caleb’s death.
