About Mothership (@lore if possible )

TL;DR how much i can consider canon the mothership now.

I am about to write down the first lines of a fanfic about Veigar ( while trying to do my best with english... the challenges indeed!) and one of the biggest problems i encountred is how to deal with the mothership.

The story takes place in the past, with Veigar that grows up to be the master of evil that we know today. It does not need to be lore-bound, i am doing this more for the exploration of the character in a "how-could-be" scenario but i don' t want to part away too much from the base lore, that i know it' s in rework phase.

One of the biggest events sorrounding Veigar was the abducion of the mothership and in my fanfic Veigar actually sieges Bandle. Do you think i need to put the mothership there, to ignore his existence or just casually find a solution that does not involve it entirely and that does not exclude or not its existance?

I will tell you this: to me, the mothership was garbage; not as the mothership per se, but because for me it was a lazy solution for a wtf thing and shallow weirdness. But a lol fanfic is a lol fanfic, and i want to keep at least a bit of canonicity on if it reveals to be a good cause. Toughts? ( sorry if moso lovers gets offended, i will repay with veigar bashing Rumble suit with a meteor if it ends well )

One red post way back made it seem like the narrative team is divided about if the mothership should stay. I think it is a bit jarring to have such a sci-fi-esque element in the world of LoL, I'd want it to be reimagined a bit to "fit in" better; Say a comet, or at least something not alluding to extraterrestrials from the 50's.

actually i have nothing against a sci-fi thematic, the world is already used to a bit of technology aniway.

Just.... it' s just so random. too much random.

Yeah, there are definitively other places where retro science fiction is already an influence, especially among the Yordles, but the implication of that sort of alien spaceship doesn't sit well with the structure of this particular fantasy world. However, I would certainly not have anything against it being built by industrious, and terrestrial, yordles!

They haven't released anythinh about Bandle City yet. They might not even have settled on how much they'll keep internally.

The mothership is what gives the stubborn, divided and ever-arguing yordles a common cause. It's the one thing they can all agree on.

I see that they stand united on reactivating and it' s sort of their "symbol" but it does not look like it is what makes them stay together. They have their own motives, their own causes to strive in a community, they even argue on how the mothership and the concepts around that should be treated ( this probably no more, since Heimer does not live no more in Bandle) and so it' s not true that it unifies them, neither makes them collaborate: it' s their own decision, for symbolic meaning and for probable pratical results. With this vision in mind, then if it was the mothership or a pile of sand it was the same, not even worth the symbolic value since the city itself is a feat of way better comunion effort.
