Notes[]
- Solaris Script is also used as an inscription on Pax Arcanes.
- Magus Arcanes and Virtuos Arcanes obtained from Little Duck in Fortuna also use Solaris Language as an inscription instead of Ostron Language.
Trivia[]
- It is the only script in WARFRAME to feature unique glyphs for colons (:) and apostrophes (').
- Unlike other WARFRAME scripts, there is little info on proper nouns that are unique to the language as the Solaris people have their names replaced by identification numbers assigned to by the Corpus. As such, nicknames or other aliases are given to the Solaris based on distinguishing characteristics (e.g. Legs) or arbitrarily.
- When Tenno reaches Rank 4 - Settlement in Kahl's Garrison syndicate, a Grineer Scorpion can be seen studying Solaris Script in the camp.
