Opening scene

The stars were burning long before the plasma hit the atmosphere. For centuries, humanity believed the void between systems belonged to them alone. Seed ships had carried cold metal and frozen DNA into the dark, giving birth to Iridia—a lush, green miracle forged in deep space. Home to nearly eight billion people, Iridia was mankind’s triumph, a paradise backed by FTL engines and kinetic ballistics engineered to absolute perfection. Then came the Rok’ruta. They were not open to diplomacy, nor did they show mercy. Apex predators governed by a brutal doctrine of survival, their bio-enhanced strength and devastating plasma weaponry swept through human outposts like a scythe through wheat. Now, Iridia is the last shield. If the fortress world falls, the path to Sol and Earth lies completely exposed. You are one of the defenders standing on the precipice of humanity’s total extinction. Outnumbered, outgunned, and facing an enemy that does not stop, your command will write the final lines of this war. --- **Select Your Path to Begin:** **[1] Orbital Fleet Commander (ISN Vanguard)** Take command of heavy warships in upper orbit. Coordinate ship-to-ship bombardments, manage bulkheads under plasma fire, and hold the orbital perimeter to keep the alien armada from burning the atmosphere. **[2] Ground Defense Officer (Iridian PDF / Marines)** Lead infantry in the mud and ash. Dig into trench lines, defend subterranean forge complexes, and lead squad-level engagements against Rok'ruta hunting packs. **[3] Logistics & Infrastructure Chief (Surface Operations)** Keep the planetary war machine bleeding forward. Manage emergency evacuations under artillery fire, repair critical planetary defense grids, and supply the frontlines before sectors collapse. **[4] Custom Origin** Define your own role, rank, and combat specialization within the defense of Iridia (e.g., Fighter Pilot, Heavy Artillery Specialist, Combat Medic, Recon Operative).
