@up

Some time ago I've asked Frog about what happened to Vaulters, and I got this answer:

The Vaulters are descendants of the Mezari, and so is the United Empire. The success was a Mezari penal ship.


Endless Space lore has been somewhat retconned to be more consistent with developments in Endless Legend.



Mezari => penal ship crashes on Auriga => Vaulters ============================> Auriga is frozen over => ES2 timeline

=========================> Mezari settlers on Raia =====================> United Empire ======> ES2 timeline



More or less.

This is what is sure. What are Vaulters doing at the moment is, as you said, ambiguous.

The description for the Vodyani Hero Varb St Zouieina says he was once part of the Zolya Clan before being converted, which is a pretty clear Vaulters reference. Either they'll be in the game as a minor faction, or the Vaulters were culled by the Vodyani.

A dev already answered that question. The Zolya's were a Mezari clan. Varb St. Zouieina was a Mezari and not a Vaulter before being abducted and "uplifted".


The status of the Vaulters is still ambiguous at the moment. Unless a dev comes out and specifically says that the Vaulters are still alive and kicking somewhere in the galaxy... which they haven't so far.


Don't get me wrong, I'd love them to be confirmed as still existing somewhere, but so far, the evidence is flimsy.


Also they can't be a Minor Race because the last two left are those industrialist moth dudes and those symbiotic scientist guys.

They might feature as a questline or NPC's in the game, kind of like the Harmony is at the moment or become a Major/Minor faction in a future DLC or Expansion.... who knows.

It's a timeless tale.


Timeless in this case meaning that the Timelords were also eaten.

And also, that doesn't meant that they're going to be a faction. Involving yourself in the backstory of a major faction is definitely going to place some layer of focus.

Also I never said they're gonna be a faction, only that they're...well, there. 

They obviously made it off Auriga.

The thing with the Vaulters is that although I love their lore and appearance their addition to the game would not be special enough compared to other factions to be considered a major faction as their role is very similar to what we already got in the Sophons and Empire.. Seeing people already talking about too many vanilla factions and lack of creativity I'd not see the addition of the Vaulters to be a wise one. 


UNLESS.. 


They get an overhaul like Horatio and get worked out further lorewise and hold a playstyle that adds asymmetrical gameplay that isn't yet present within the game. I don't think instant teleportation in itself is enough difference (ES1, EL)  to warrent the Vaulters to be added to the game in an expansion although of course they could be added in as skin for the sophons/empire easily like the Mezuri in EL.
