Insider is a section for Outsider-related extras, including (but not limited to) background information, concept artwork, guest art, ship specs and other bonus material. The dates next to the listings below indicate when that page was last updated. (Each individual page usually has an automatically-generated "last modified" datestamp at the top, but often this may reflect only cosmetic changes.)

Warning: While this section doesn't contain any plot spoilers, it does contain a variety of information which is considered common knowledge among the non-human inhabitants of the Local Bubble. If you would prefer to have this kind of setting information revealed only in the pages of the story, you might want to skip reading the Data Files, Reference Materials, and Essays.
