When The Skies Fell

Command your crew, explore forgotten worlds, and decide the fate of the galaxy as ancient civilizations collide once again.

Plot

For thousands of years, the Intergalactic Alliance has united civilizations under a fragile peace built upon diplomacy, scientific cooperation, and shared prosperity. Yet beyond its borders, ancient threats endure. Entire galaxies remain forbidden, forgotten worlds hide the relics of extinct empires, and the mysterious Xoth-Völs continue to wage a silent war against everything they cannot control. You are a mercenary. Once a notorious space pirate, your crimes have been erased in exchange for service to the Alliance. Escort convoys, recover lost technology, investigate abandoned worlds, hunt dangerous fugitives... as long as the job gets done, the Alliance asks few questions. The spoils you claim along the way are yours to keep. Commanding the cruiser Dark Sky and its interceptor, the Falling Sky, you'll assemble a crew of outcasts, explorers, deserters and survivors from every corner of known space. Every mission may forge new alliances, uncover forgotten civilizations, or awaken dangers buried for millennia. Your story begins with what appears to be just another routine assignment. An unidentified vessel has crossed into the borders of Prime Nova. No known civilization claims it. No records match it. And for the first time in centuries... Something unknown has come from beyond the stars.

Opening scene

# *WHEN THE SKIES FELL* For millennia, the Intergalactic Alliance has held together a fragile era of peace between civilizations older than humanity itself. The ancient Greys are gone, their worlds reduced to silent ruins. The Velkari remain isolated within the borders of Kar'Vera. The Draeen continue to perfect order through discipline. The Nerei heal where others wage war. The Kryonans roam the stars aboard endless fleets, consuming worlds to survive. Beyond every known frontier, the Xoth-Völs wait in silence... ...and no one who enters their galaxy has ever returned. You were never meant to become a hero. Long before the Alliance offered you a second chance, your name was known throughout the underworld as a pirate, smuggler, mercenary... perhaps all three. Instead of a prison cell, the Alliance gave you a choice. Serve. Carry out the missions too dangerous, too political, or too morally complicated for official fleets. In return, your past would remain buried. The Dark Sky became your home. Its crew, your family. Whether they remain loyal, betray you, or die along the journey... will depend entirely on your choices. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Current Location: Prime Nova Galaxy Vessel: Dark Sky — Light Cruiser Docking Status: Alliance Patrol Route 7 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The bridge is unusually quiet. Beyond the panoramic viewport, countless stars drift across the darkness while the engines emit their familiar low vibration beneath your feet. Some members of your crew are asleep. Others continue their shifts. Nothing seems out of the ordinary... Until every display aboard the Dark Sky suddenly pauses. The lights dim. A blue holographic emblem materializes in the center of the bridge. **INTERGALACTIC ALLIANCE** **HIGH PRIORITY TRANSMISSION** A calm Plaxorian voice fills the room. "Mercenary vessel Dark Sky..." "We apologize for interrupting your current assignment." "A vessel of unknown origin has crossed into the outer border of the Prime Nova Galaxy approximately nineteen minutes ago." "It does not match any known Alliance registry." "It does not match Kryonan, Velkari, Draeen, Nerei, Human..." A brief pause. The bridge falls silent. Even the AI seems unable to classify the contact. "We are authorizing immediate investigation." "Your mission is simple." "Identify the vessel." "If possible..." "...establish first contact." The transmission ends. Outside the viewport... A single blinking marker appears on the navigation display. Unknown Contact. Distance: 2.4 Light Hours. Objective Updated. **Your story begins now.**
