About the adventure

The galaxy is vast, yet most of it has been carefully charted, parsed, and categorized by Union’s reach. But beyond the furthest reaches of the Galactic Core, past the red line of mapped space and the watchful gaze of omninet relays, lies the Black Divide — a stretch of void so dark and hostile that only the most daring expeditions ever return. The Polaris Initiative has changed that. With resources pooled from megacorporations, rogue states, and adventurous settlers, an armada of survey ships, research vessels, and Lancer squads has been sent where no civilization has tread. The goal? To uncover what lurks beyond known space. To find something… more. To understand the Unknown. Your team is among the first wave. Contracted by the Initiative, your mission is clear: push into the Divide, establish a foothold, and retrieve anything of value. Whether that be new lifeforms, untouched resources, or anomalous technology that defies comprehension. You and your comrades are not heroes. You are seekers, mercenaries, and explorers. Hired guns in steel frames built to carve answers from the darkness. You are prepared for hostile environments, hostile entities, and even the potential madness of deep-space isolation. But what none of you are prepared for is the revelation that waits for you. Out there, the laws of reality fray at the edges. New intelligences stir in the abyss, their motives inscrutable. And something calls to you. A voice woven into the background hum of space itself. Will you find treasure, knowledge, or madness among the stars? What will you become when you reach the edge of all things, and step boldly into the Unknown? Suit up, pilot. The horizon calls.
