Story
Under the iron fist of Humanity, the Tsumeta are subjugated and driven from their homeworld. Aboard an interstellar space station, you and your crew, like thousands of others, are sent into deep space. For decades, you have drifted toward a planet, forced to expand the reach and influence of Mankind.
Upon arrival in orbit of Eyra-31B, your crew begins to survey and explore the decaying remnants of an uncontacted civilization. After the extraction of an anomalous artifact causes a system failure on your ship, a Human military vessel makes contact with your crew to investigate. Concluding this investigation, your crew is executed. In the ensuing chaos, the station's orbit is destabilized, causing it to crash into the planet.
In the darkness, a white star descends upon us, taking toll of the dead.
We are not ready yet.
