[[WMG: Chroma's dragon pelt used to be a separate Infested entity]]

The original Chroma used to just be the regular, Oberon/Excalibur-like warframe you see when he takes off the dragon hide. At some point during the Sentient war, the original Chroma (who perhaps had simpler, color-based abilities) was called on to dispatch a big, dragon-ish Infested beast that had gotten out of control. The Warframe's organic technology and the Technocyte virus apparently have much in common, so cunning Chroma flayed the fallen Infested monster, and integrated its remains into his Warframe, boosting his abilities to the powerful elemental ones he uses today. The pelt was copied into the non-Prime versions of the Chroma warframe when they were manufactured, and so the dragon warframe came to be.

From the very beginning, they have been a clone race. This also explains why there are ''two'' queens rather than one. An old Orokin female corpse was thrown into one of those clone machine things to make the queens, and the leftovers were used as the basis for Scorpions, Heavy Gunners, and individuals like Sprag, Ven'kra Tel, and Kela de Thaym.

During the original Mirage's last stand, she ran out of energy, had a ship dropped on her, lost her shields, and just kept killing - even when reduced to fighting barehanded. A modern Tenno, especially a squishy caster like Mirage, would die near-instantly in such a scenario against high-level foes. And Mirage was doing this vs the Sentients, not the pathetic (in comparison) Grinner, Corpus, or Infested.

Hayden Tenno is confirmed to be the first Tenno. Seeing as he was likely rescued by the Orokin at some point and possibly their first in command, it would make sense that he would be loyal to them. Similarly, the Stalker's frame resembles the Excalibur, confirmed to be the first warframe. He could be something of a SuperPrototype, which is why his powers would later be used and adapted to other frames.

[[WMG:The Grineer and Corpus factions will suffer from infighting and split into to smaller groups.]]
We've already seen that Corpus don't necessarily work out all of their inner conflicts peacefully during the Alad V event where Frohd Beck was willing to sell Alad V's location out. Players will notice that the crewmen in Jupiter, where Alad V is located, have differing main weapons and proxies at their disposal compared to the main bulk of the Corpus, showing the split within the faction.

Sargus Ruk and Vay Hek also seem to be at odds with each other as a result of Hek's releasing of the Grustag Three. Sargus Ruk explicitly calls Hek out on this move and basically condemns Hek to whatever fate befalls him.

[[WMG:The Orokin were human, so were the Sentients, and the Tenno were mind-controlled.]]
Alright, so, recap of what we know: mysterious race Orokin fight mysterious race Sentients, Orokin find that the Void mutates members of their race, and use those mutations plus super-tech to make kick-ass soldiers. With me so far? Cool. Since the Tenno prtty much look human, and since we know they used to be Orokin, we can then infer that the Orokin were also human. Now, on to the theory.

The Orokin and the Sentients were both human. The conflict between them wasn't an alien invasion or an attempt to conquer, it was a civil war. The Orokin embarked on the standard campaign of dehumanizing your enemy that seems to happen in most wars, and were either wildly successful or the war went on for so long (or both) that people actually stopped thinking they were the same race. So, they fight. The Orokin start to lose. Then, they find out that this Void thing mutates people and gives them people superpowers. Then, they find a way to turn these mutants into Super Soldiers. Awesome! But what's even better than Super Soldiers? Mind Controlled Super Soldiers! You wouldn't want your soldiers who were deliberately exposed to potentially torturous and traumatizing events that gave them superpowers to walk around without control bolts, would you?

So, the Tenno, wearing those nifty control crowns you can see on the Corrupted, start to fight the Sentients. Maybe they even go along with the control crown thing, were told they prevented the Tenno from going crazy because of their experiences. But then, in the process of their fights, the Tenno discover that their adversaries aren't aliens at all, they're really other humans fighting for... something. Survival, maybe. And suddenly, a heroic campaign to protect the human race from extinction turns into good ol' genocide. The Tenno (or most of them, at least; see below) want to stop. But those fancy crowns won't let them; the Orokin programmed them to keep killing Sentients until there's nothing left.

Eventually, the war is over, and the Tenno come home hailed a saviors by the public. But, there's a problem: the Tenno are no longer under Orokin control. Maybe they found a way to subvert the crowns; maybe the Orokin forgot to program in a "don't turn on your creators" subroutine; maybe all commands were only programmed in light of the war, and with the war over the Tenno became free again. Not sure. But in any case, the Tenno come back, pretend to still be loyal soldiers, and, once they get close enough, skewer their former masters. The Tenno go on a rampage, killing both the Orokin scientists who brainwashed them and the leaders who ordered it to happen. Eventually, everyone who knows how to make or work the advanced technology is dead, and the Orokin survivors are scattered, beginning a dark age that leads to the rise of the Grineer Empire and Corpus company, while the technocyte plague the Orokin developed for war runs out of control.

So the Tenno got their vengeance. But they still have those crowns, and they don't want someone else coming along and figuring out a way to program them again. So they try to remove them; problem is, they killed everyone who would know how, and their own attempts have... unpleasant consequences. Namely, massive brain damage. Eventually, through trial and error, the Tenno find a way to remove the crowns and stick themselves into healing/stasis pods that slowly repair their damaged brains. Problem is, complete amnesia is still a side effect, and the healing takes time. Lots of time. So, the Tenno make preparations to initiate healing en masse and leave someone behind to watch out for them. Like the Lotus. Or someone who the current Lotus killed before taking her place. Or something. So, time goes by, the Lotus is replaced or controlled or decides it would be awesome to use her former comrades for personal game, and so upon awakening the amnesiac Tenno lies to them and uses them for her own gain.

But what of the Tenno that didn't disagree? The ones who thought the Orokin were right, brainwashing be damned? Well, they stay active while the rest of the Tenno go to sleep and forget themselves, watching the system, or even the galaxy, descend into chaos and develop a bitter hatred for their traitorous comrades. They call themselves the Stalkers (yes, they, I refuse to believe it's just one guy) and wait for the Tenno to wake back up. Because they don't want the Tenno to die peacefully in cryosleep, oh no. They have to suffer. So they watch, and wait, and try to protect the remnants of Orokin civilization that humanity has become.

I might come back and clean this up later, I realize it's kind of a mess as is.

The Orokin and Sentients were different cultural/ideological factions of the same species- in the same way humans divide themselves based on nationality. The Orokin were a hierarchic culture that focused more on pragmatic, manipulative, even fascist methods while the Sentients had a deeper sense of honor, justice and equality. These conflicting ideologies escalated to all-out war, with the Sentients likely trying to correct some wrong the Orokin caused for the sake of progress (such as creating/deploying the Neural Sentry against an unsuspecting lower class to keep them in line). The Orokin, true to their pragmatism, unleashed the long-contained [[DarkSector Technocyte Virus]] upon their enemies, and when that failed, turned to the Tenno, a small faction of deadly but untested warriors. The Tenno fought the Sentients, but even as they wiped out their enemies they came to understand their reasons and adopt their philosophies (and seeing a few of them [[BodyHorror mutate into Ancients]] couldn't hurt either- Golem did say, after all, "''[[LiteralMetaphor We are your flesh]]''"); in the end, the Tenno turned and slaughtered the Orokin as well. The Stalker was a lone InspectorJavert among the Tenno, possibly even TheDragon to the Orokin leader (thereby sticking to his beliefs that the Orokin were incorruptible and the traitorous Tenno were to be punished); he might have even been the first Excalibur, if not a prototype. The Lotus was an Orokin survivor, possibly even the one who originally locked the Tenno away, and has now awakened them to prepare the galaxy for the return of the Orokin Empire (purging the Tennos' cryopods such that their memories would be lost was calculated). The Lotus leaks information on Tenno whereabouts to the Stalker to dispose of them when they get too close to finding out the truth (as they might after the various exposition-filled boss battles)- or if they simply survived a suicide mission- and he complies to his lone master.

Tenno seem to be hermaphroditic or possibly even unisex organisms due to their ability to equip any Warframe and gain or lose various sexual characteristics. However, when the Lotus refers to the ''Warframes'' she uses phrases such as "he is a force to be reckoned with" or "use her wisely"- the Tenno don't have genders, but the Warframes ''do''. It's possible that the Warframes aren't just high-tech suits, but some kind of symbiotic, artificial organism initially engineered by the Orokin.

The Lotus leaks information on Tenno whereabouts to the Stalker to dispose of them when they get too close to finding out the truth (as they might after the various exposition-filled boss battles), and he complies to his lone master.

The Orokin and Sentients were different cultural/ideological factions of the same species- in the same way humans divide themselves based on nationality. The Orokin were a culture that focused more on pragmatic and manipulative courses of action while the Sentients had a deeper sense of honor and justice. These conflicting ideologies escalated to all-out war, with the Sentients likely trying to correct some wrong the Orokin caused for the sake of progress (such as creating/employing the Neural Sentry). The Orokin, true to their pragmatism, unleashed the long-contained Technocyte Virus upon their enemies, and when that failed, turned to the Tenno, a small faction of deadly but untested warriors.
