The Story So Far
What began as whispers and assassinations becomes open war when the Solar Empire's Empress deploys three battle fleets into the outer rim without Council approval. The Terran Federation responds in kind. The Void Syndicate operates in the chaos, seeding disinformation and backstabbing both sides. The ancient relay stations are now broadcasting a signal that drives ships' navigation AIs erratic — and at the signal's source lies something the Precursors left behind as a warning.
