About the Game

- Story -


We are Raiders
Divided, autonomous, uninvited
Misery is our neighbor
Pain, our kin


When small-time Raider Scavenger Lana Brice meets her mysterious client, she has a sudden realisation: her life just took a very wrong turn in the worst way possible.

A storm is brewing...

Being forced to join a stranger's fight raises a mess of complex feelings in Lana. Generations of oppression and injustice, the bittersweet bonds of family and the pull of ethics: it’s a brooding volcano that threatens to erupt.

Cardinal Cross cannot be stopped...

But will Lana’s careless adventure spark a Galactic disaster?

Will she be hailed as a hero or reviled as an anarchist?
