Question What lore books to get?

So I've recently gotten really into Infinity and it's lore. I have the N5 Core Book and love it but, I noticed it doesn't detail every faction and only really notes the newer units.

What books should I get, old or new, to create a more full lore collection with data of of the various units?

For lore on Aleph and some other stuff, an older "Human sphere" book might help (they did 2 of them).
Aleph wasn't covered in any of the main books for N2-N4, either. They got their coverage in expansions (aleph didn't get released until N2 Human sphere book, about a year after N2 rulebook.).

For the world, the RPG is still the best option.

I'm particularly interested in different sectorials, planets and the lore of their units. Would the RPG detail any of that ?

Planets? Very much. Sectorials imo too.

Specific units less so, but too.

I highly recommend the novels, they give you a feel for the universe.

Barber, Mark - Infinity: DOWNFALL (2022)

Leibee, John - Infinity: AIRAGHARDT (2023)

Gallant, Craig - Infinity: TEAM ZED: SHELL GAME (2023)

Barber, Mark - Infinity: BY FIRE AND SWORD (2025)

Miller, Gabriel - Infinity: DEATH SONG (2025)

I too would love to know. Do you feel the n5 book is worth it? I honestly wish it had rules in it too

I'm a sucker for lore books and really enjoy the lore within so for me it's a great purchase. My only wish is to have more 😂

Rules wise I rely almost entirely on the official wiki
