How do you write lore for fictional companies/products?

19.9k Velocity250  yesterday

so i wrote these two sections for the VCS Omni 7 build, and i kinda like these, although i feel like they switched topic too much. i wanna make an ARS wiki style section (example article), with some basic siren information such as:

  • Introduction
  • Models
  • Design
  • Locations (if possible)

so, how do i make a good fictional lore section without switching topic too much? i kinda got a reference of how it should go but i don't know how to do it properly.

    @Graingy Using A Description Of Something There As Either An Inspiration For The "Template".
    Example : Copy A Description Of A Vehicle/Company, Change All Of The Name(s) With Yours, Do An Adjustment With Your Lore (Perfecttly Works On Spin-Off / Knock-Off / Parody Vehicles And Companies. Like Me)

    @Velocity250 yeah that was mounted on some UP engines (DDA40X, SD35, SD40s along with a handful of other engines, all UP owned), though there is no known recordings of them being used. some of the engines do survive to this day in preservation or still working under UP.
