Aeric used to be a part of Thalen Rook's crew, as Arcturus's assistant. However, Aeric made barely any money working there (Thalen's crew is constantly poor because upkeeping the Sentinel is incredibly expensive).

Thalen's crew was attending a large memorial event for a great hero from the Convergence War when Aeric met MOPAR there. At the event there were a few legendary Corgeforge's parked there and Aeric was pining about how he needed to get his Stryker restored and wished he knew a Forged. MO introduced himself and befriended Aeric, giving him guidance on his Stryker restoration. MO liked Aeric's work and introduced him to Star Works and Aldros, where Aeric eventually got a job at.

TIMELINE:

Pre Convergence Age:

Most galactic societies/civilizations are entirely separate, tensions rise as technology improves travel between these societies until a galaxy wide war breaks out. 'Originator' era for the Forge.

Convergence Age:

Coreforge Syndicate invents warp drive.

Starward Lance Corp is created, competes with Coreforge.

The Great Convergence War, Astra Vanguard is created during the war. Many new advancements made to star ships during wartime.

Many of the races mix societies (hence Convergence), and Neutrality Laws are enacted across the races after the war.

Fleet Age:

Starward Lance Corp is renamed to Starlance after the war.

Starship manufacturers shift focus from militarized vessels to commuters and luxury ships. There is a short period of legendary "golden age" starships that were made early in the Fleet Age.

As capitalism across the galaxies boom, the golden age of star ships end and a lot of low quality stuff gets made. Tig is made in this era of the Forge.

Concord Age:

Age of overall peace across galaxies. It's the current age that the story of Star Works takes place in.

Tig and OEM represent different eras of the Forged.

Tig is from the modern era where bots are made with cheap materials but have more advanced technology. Their physical features have callbacks to vents and louvres that were relevant to older era bots, but not any more. All of these features are functionally useless and just there "for show". Modern era bots are equipped with better communication modules, and they have more efficient modern processors and operating systems. Common modern era bots do not possess the ability to "transform", as it is just too resource expensive to build per unit.

OEM is an old bot, from the Originators Era (the first era of bots to gain sentience, this is some millennia ago). He was made in batch of 60,000 units of his model. He and other bots of his era possess multimodal transformation abilities, where they can manipulate their forms to become multiple types of vehicles and equipment.
