Firefly & Sam Backstory Explained! Finding Watchmakers Legacy - Honkai Star Rail Lore & Theory

so let's talk about Firefly or Sam should I say because now that we actually know that they're one and the same and not considered two different people anymore we actually know quite a bit about Firefly through Sam so I want to break down Firefly's backstory and I think that'll actually help us answer some questions like her conversation with Arron and the Trailblazer at the end it'll fill in some of the blanks and her role in the script of ilio Destiny's slave I know that neither of these characters were as big of an impact in this Quest like like they were in 2.0 but I do think Sam or Firefly will play a huge part in 2.2 so let's break it down but before I do that I just want to discuss the elephant in the room here I know there's actually a lot of mixed feelings that the stellon hunter Sam is Firefly some people were pretty pumped they thought it was a cool reveal some people were unfazed by it and some people were really disappointed because it sort of took the wind out of their sales that this badass gigachad character is now just Firefly and but if I'm being perfectly honest on how I felt about it and my thoughts on it this is exactly how I felt in that [Music] moment get it cuz she's Sam us Samus yeah that's pretty bad I mean an Intergalactic badass warrior in a suit of armor turning out to be a cute girl is nothing new to me I grew up in the 9s and I've played Metroid also I had two older brothers growing up playing Super Smash Bros on the N64 and as a little brother it's my duty to pick samis and fire those annoying charge shot balls to piss off my siblings all joking aside I didn't have an issue with it I thought it was a cool twist and looking back at it it sort of makes sense like there's this scene here where the meme has her and she's about to transform but realizes it's not the time but let's start with her origin and why she told Aron that she's never been able to dream Republic of gloth is a Fallen interplanetary Nation based in glo's star system and there really isn't much known about gloth before it was attacked by the Swarm yeah those gross ass insects that they raided their Planet but gloth was a really technologically advanced civilization and they built fleets of Warships that could travel around the star system another key factor in this war or Apocalypse of lamoth was in order to turn the tide in the invasion of the Swarm the ruling Council resolved to alter the essence of humanity in an effort to adapt to the war and created Empress Titania an artificial weapon they essentially created the iron Cavalry and and super soldiers enhanced individuals and metahumans and the empress would telepathically command and control the knights connected to her in the dreams that these Warriors are woven into the sole meaning of their existence is to guard Titania and her Empire in their short lives they studied fought received the empress's commands and faced the enemy fearlessly and died with honor no one knew their faces lying Beneath The Masks of the iron Cavalry but their arrival was like a gift from the gods bringing the light of day back to the human world glos iron Cavalry finally turned the tide in this Invasion bringing a brief moment of peace to the Empire but it wouldn't last cuz the attacks just kept coming and coming So eventually the people started to see the empress in her True Colors the weapon she was meant to be these constant attacks taking its toll on her even as an artificial created being or modified human from the council and the people also figured out that she was created by the council to put in simple terms gloth had an entire huge Galaxy of colonies massively rich and technologically advanced empire being attacked by the Swarm being their colonies being picked off so this like government of gloth I guess the council created this artificial being Titania to control these iron Mecca Cavalry super soldier modified humans and gave Titania the title of empress as a leader and figurehead for for the people to inspire behind during this disaster and attack of the Swarm but people started to figure out that she is definitely more of a weapon than an empress and that she's controlling the iron Fleet and people started to fear the iron Fleet scen as that they were pretty aggressive and showed a lot of the same characteristics as the Swarm this invasion of the Swarm would last literally decades and the iron Cavalry under the empress would win but after Decades of bloody battles the remains of mea and insect limbs turned into dense debris floating around in space and as it all started to Cluster together it would be known as the river of death so the gloth Empire had a brief Victory before they realized that this debris would actually block out the sun and the daylight and this would be the slow start of the civilization known as gloth to fade away into nothingness and this debris can still be found to this day flowing silently along the void of the old gamoth Empire that's actually an incredibly sad way to go because blocking out the sun has long-term effects on the planet vegetation just the overall how the planet functions glo's entire Republic would just fade away into nothing over time just all this space debris would cause such problems in their star system and you know it's actually kind of not funny but an interesting parallel and this a little fun fact for you in our own planet right now on Earth orbiting our own planet we have a ton of debris metal old satellites and space junk like we have a problem there it's it's it's only getting worse and worse and actually as we speak right now scientists are struggling to try to figure out a solution to how to clear up the space debris orbiting our planet right now the problem is you can't really use anything physical because you don't want to create more space dust and debris and broken parts trying to clear it up with an object or however they would do it and eventually that's going to be a big problem for earth like legitimately just a little fun fact for you but it's uh yeah it's it's an it's a pretty hard problem to come up with a genuine solution for just an interesting parallel the empress is this artificial being designed to control the iron Cavalry of gloth which obviously you know what I'm getting to Sam the Stell Hunter is a part of that iron Cavalry or that's where Firefly comes from and the iron Cavalry is like a hive mind with Titania being the queen bee and now looking back at it Firefly did say that her hometown was destroyed by the Legion of the Swarm man and they were throwing it right in our faces this whole time in their short lives they studied fought received the empress's commands and faced the enemy fearlessly and died with honor Kafka did describe Sam as being incredibly efficient and and ruthless but not in a bloodthirsty way but just because he's so efficient at following duties and orders this kind of explains exactly why now we know why Titania with its sole purpose to command gas iron Cavalry hence why it states she had no real power and it is said that she rebelled against her captivity which I'm assuming means she rebelled against what she was created or programmed to do I don't know if this Titania is like a program or an actual like person modified with Mecca or in some way by scientists of gloth to just control the iron Cavalry and just issue commands neurologically and all that like she's sort of a slave to humans that created her so she started just doing her own thing and by no power I think it means that she wasn't in control she was never an empress it's just how the program was perceived which makes me wonder about Firefly because we know that she's at the very least part of this gloth iron Cavalry she's a super soldier she was enhanced and this would explain a lot of her dialogue with us and acaron about not remembering the people that she's killed not being able to have dreams of her own from here we know that Sam joined the Stellar on hunters and basically acts as the muscle there's no need to hold back or no need for restraint hell they sent Sam to recruit blade and Sam defeated blade by force to take him in it's strange to think that Firefly has killed many and when it comes down to it is ruthless simply because that's her Duty and why she was created in the first place but the point is this puts in perspective a lot of things her conversation with Aron her inability to dream have her own dreams follow her own path and why it meant so much to connect with the Trailblazer all members of the iron Cavalry have been being issued commands since their creation from Titania so Firefly probably struggles greatly with just perceiving things for herself making her own decisions like she told Arron her Duty was to put the Trailblazers on the path to investigate the family and the watchmaker's Legacy in pentacon Firefly can also not understand why she failed but obviously this was part of ELO's plan Elio obviously wanted her to confront Aron and the Trailblazers the way she did in order to set this whole path in motion probably to prompt acaron and aventurine to have their confrontation because we know there's still a stellon in pentacon and that the stellon hunters are here for a reason ilio probably planned all this but Firefly just doesn't understand like she said Firefly is not like CFA silverwolf or blade she's not like the other stellon as she tells us this she is ideal in situations where you can just send her to clear house there's no need for behind the scenes Shenanigans manipulation trying to orchestrate events behind the scenes like on the lafu with Kafka that is not who Sam or Firefly is obviously Firefly infiltrating pentacon as a stoy makes sense now that we know that she's a stellon hunter that's what they do but Sam is probably struggling in a land like pentacon where she was created for a specific purpose to fight the Swarm to follow commands to give 100% aggression with no hesitation and I'm going to take this one step further is it even possible that Sam is also titanium the artificial empress and leader of the iron Fleet herself that could be a whole another layer of her not being able to think for herself being created for a specific purpose issuing commands to the iron Cavalry and when they say the empress held no power this could just mean Authority not literal power as Titania could have easily led the iron Fleet herself with an iron suit of her own again this is just a theory and just an option I'm sure we'll find out more in 2.2 with this character but Firefly is from the Republic of gloth an enhanced super soldier and member of the iron Cavalry or she could even be Titania and she's just controlling one of her meccas hence Sam and that Sam is firly but Titania is Sam and that flyfly has always been Titania but just operating one of her meccas this Mecca being Sam and just taking on the secret identity of Sam seen is that she can control Mecca neurologically on command that is what she was created to do and she'd still have command of all Mecca there's literally a lot of different ways you could slice this up couple more things that actually kind of hint towards her being Titania herself and one of them is this the citizens of gloth the everyday people say that they saw a change in the empress in Titania after the endless Wars over and over and over saw her change this probably prompted her rebelling against against whoever created her and rebelling against her created purpose but how would citizens even see her make emotions or anything if she wasn't like a person or at least an individual with the Alias of the empress where most people probably didn't know her true purpose I mean you'd think that people would have had to see her out and about at some point and her being a modified little girl or human turned into an artificial queen bee of the hive mind of the iron Cavalry like it it kind of makes sense if you think about it they would have had to see a specific individual change and that's literally stated in Glam moth's history that and reason number two I think her being Titania actually gives her a little more significance like if she's just one run-of-the-mill super soldier of the iron Cavalry I mean that's fine I guess and join the Stellar on hunters and now is struggling to find her own way and just following ilio script and whatnot like that's kind of a cool story too but I think her being the empress puts a lot more significance on the character Firefly and will give her another twist in her story you know oh the big reveal is that Sam is Firefly well maybe the other twist that they're saving for 2.2 is that she's actually Titania also and there's nothing saying that Titania couldn't have also had an iron body Mecha form or is controlling one of her meca forms and actually uses that herself that is who she's using Sam is the meca form and one of the many iron soldiers that she's using herself cuz she escaped gloth and she's just finding her way following the script it actually does make sense the more you think about it she just seems like a lost character trying to make connections with people not just be a ruthless fighting machine efficient at killing and following duties seems like she's evolving as a super soldier and as a character even if she was created for one specific purpose to kill the Swarm to follow orders from Titania or if she's Titania herself seems like she's genuinely evolving forming these connections and struggling to find herself envying Acron of all people definitely a very interesting and layered character much more than what you see on the surface but that is essentially the character Firefly AKA Sam the Stellar on Hunter her backstory and possible identity guaranteed know she's at least a member of the iron Cavalry that's where she comes from but whether she's actually something more like Titania or something else that remains to be seen but I do hope you guys enjoyed the video let me know your thoughts on Firefly I know she didn't play a huge part in 2.1 but I do think in 2.2 she's going to be very important like And subscribe for more content like this help grow the channel I really do appreciate you all watching this far and as always we will
