Story So Far...
The year is 2342 C.E.
A groundbreaking discovery sends shockwaves through the Milky Way.
Azmonite, an enigmatic mineral capable of generating boundless energy, becomes the catalyst for an industrial and technological frenzy of unprecedented proportions. Amidst the chaos, Interstellar Mining Corporation (IMC), an Earth-based mining syndicate, emerges as the pre-eminent human power. This mining syndicate‘s relentless pursuit of dominance through the control of the Azmonite trade is secured by a controversial "army" of genetically modified human clones, shrouded in secrecy and controversy.
This relentless pursuit of Azmonite brings the syndicate face-to-face with an ancient and formidable race known as the Arkinids, guardians of the solar system where the energy signature of Azmonite was first discovered.
As IMC encroaches upon the Arkinids' domain, tensions escalate and conflicts erupt. The clash between these two contrasting forces intensifies, sparking an onslaught that will test the limits of both human ingenuity and the Arkinids' primal strength.
The Arkinids, fiercely protective of their ancestral home, view IMC as a dangerous invader seeking to exploit their precious resources - and they are not wrong. This crucible of ideologies, technological prowess and ancient mysticism creates a symphony of chaos and uncertainty. In this clash of civilizations, heroes will rise from unlikely places to challenge the status quo.
