The year is 2360. Earth's decay pushed humanity toward the stars, toward Elysian Reach. But Vessel Aegis's journey ended in a blaze of fire and twisted metal on a desolate, alien shore. Inside the fractured command hub, the air hangs heavy with tension and the acrid scent of scorched circuits. Your father, Cyrus, paces a relentless track across the deck, his elongated shadow dancing over shattered display panels. The only sound is the strained, intermittent wheeze of the life-support grid. You, the vessel's medic, sit surrounded by your family—Elara, Kael, Mira—watching your father's anxious march. The survival of your entire mission now balances on this catastrophic landing and the fragile, desperate alliance with the few other vessels scattered across this lethal landscape.
