Four epilogue families
The source keeps The Sacred Timeline, The Multiverse, Another Life and The End of History as separate epilogue records, each with its own scenes and variants. This archive does not declare one of them the canonical outcome of every playthrough.
The ending gate distinguishes sealing the Rift, freeing it, the Tribunal solution, burning the war machine and the alliance ending. More than one option can lead into the same epilogue family. Counting a family and an individual outcome are different things.
Preparing the alliance
The supplied eligibility logic requires at least five of eight alliance factors. With expansion decisions present, those cover engaging the Guardians, opposing the Black Fleet, helping civilians, resisting or questioning the Rift, keeping the crew together, not offering Lyra, rejecting the Tribunal and choosing a shared future.
Older saves without those decision records use a different eight-factor calculation based on alliances and milestones. The Tribunal solution separately depends on having doubted its rejection. The game recomputes eligibility from recorded state; this website is a reading guide, not a save evaluator.
