YOU ARE JUN ASLAN
You are Jun Aslan, a salvager turned Traveler, pulled into the fight of your life.
You were never meant to live and die scraping through wreckage. As heir of the legendary Traveler Orion Aslan, you have a unique gift that enables you to interface with Celestial tech in ways no other human can.
Now you’ll lead a crew of unforgettable companions across the most dangerous reaches of space, exploring ancient ruins for what could save your homeworld from the Rot, a Celestial virus driving humanity toward extinction.
How you take on that fight is up to you. Play as a male or female Jun and choose your look, gear, and morality alignment to shape your journey.
YOUR HOMEWORLD IS DYING
Fleeing a dying Earth, your ancestors found refuge in the vast Centauri Cluster. They settled on Lidon, a moon in the Malakbel Star System. It’s the only home you’ve ever known.
And now, it’s dying. The Rot, a mysterious phenomenon that degrades Celestial technology, consumes everything.
To save your world, you must confront the Celestials—humanity's evolution 40,000 years in the future—and steal their technology that could give your people a fighting chance.
Time is running out.
Who You’ll Meet
Companions
In your journey, you will be joined by a cadre of diverse and dedicated Companions—some with deep personal stakes in your mission and others who bring specialized skills for survival. Each has their own personality, motivations, and story to tell… and you may find that a few bonds run deeper than you expected.
Combat Companions
Tom Vargas
A former Traveler haunted by the loss of his wife, he wandered the stars before rebuilding his life on Lidon as a skilled salvager. Sharp, resourceful, and deeply connected, he’s learned to thrive in the wreckage of the past.
Elise Charroux
A blunt, no-nonsense ‘Sleeper’ from 23rd-century Earth. A seasoned mercenary, weapons expert, and former gang member turned salvager. If Elise has your back, it means she’s in front of you, clearing a path.
Salt the Octopus
A mercenary and bounty hunter, Salt is an Awakened octopus who is as deadly as she is intelligent. Piloting a specialized combat mech, she is a master of sniping, evasion, and ejecting ink-like smokescreens to confuse her enemies. She thrives where others can’t.
Emrys
A member of the Deva, an enigmatic Celestial species defined by plural consciousness. Emrys fights effortlessly, draining enemies and buffing Jun. Outside of battle, Emrys is often lost in thought, marked by their unusual stillness, detachment, and a deep familiarity with both human and Celestial affairs.
Phaedra Nath
A renowned xeno-archaeologist and heir to the Nath Traveler dynasty, Phaedra was infected with a Celestial virus from birth, a consequence of her family’s research. It left her blind, her skin slowly crystallizing. She sees the world through a swarm of autonomous drones that spiral around her in shifting formations.
SULIMAN
Born into the Tenjin Dynasty and orphaned young, Suliman was taken in by the mysterious Parliament of Ravens and raised as an operative. Wealthy, reclusive, and dangerous, he’s caught halfway between the worlds of the Awakened and humanity.
Story Companions
C.C. Orlev
Everyone knows the myths around Orlev, but no one knows where he vanished—or why. He appears when Jun needs him most, yet his motives remain a mystery.
Houston
An Awakened wolf, orphaned at a young age and raised alongside Jun as an adopted brother. Maturing faster than Jun, Houston is responsible beyond his years. Technically younger, but always watching over his human sibling.
[NAME REDACTED]
A young woman of mysterious origin and a guide for Jun. Sharp and guarded, she serves the Aslan Dynasty.
KARA VOSS
A pilot and mechanic known for precision flying and confident attitude. Raised in a mechanic shop, she once dreamed of becoming a Traveler pilot herself, until the Traveler Dynasties fell and took that future with them. Now, she flies for Jun, chasing the stars however she can get there.
NIVIAN ORUKA
Head priestess of the Church of the Guiding Star, Nivian is charming, intelligent, and deeply compassionate. Well-respected even among the non-religious, she is wary of Celestial influence on human culture and champions humanity’s own path among the stars.
THE CELESTIALS
To save your world, you must confront the Celestials— humanity, 40,000 years evolved.Time Dilation has driven millennia upon millennia between you and Centauri's first human settlers—those who followed the Green Signals and claimed this cluster as humanity's new home. They've evolved into something unrecognizable. Diverse, alien, and technologically superior.
Among them are the Crown Celestials, ancient warriors who’ve turned combat into high art. The Mara Yama, predators who harvest memories and emotions in their twisted amusement.
To them, you're not just newcomers. You’re primitive and obsolete. There's no room for you in their vast, sprawling empire.
Or is there?
Changelings
Not every world is green. Some are hellscapes—poisoned, war-torn, twisted by Celestial whim.
The Celestials' solution: reshape life itself. They've engineered countless species into bidding servants that thrive where you die. Some are built for toxic wastelands, others engineered to carry you across treacherous terrain. You'll encounter these Changelings across hostile worlds – creatures, once recognizable, now twisted into forms you never imagined.
To the Celestials, they're disposable tools. To you, they might be the difference between life and death.
The Awakened
You'll meet humanity's indispensable partners—animals with self-awareness and human-level intelligence who speak, think, and serve specialized functions in society.
From Awakened ravens to Awakened wolves, they’ll become your allies, friends, and sometimes family. In a galaxy where you are the underdog, their unique skills and loyalty could turn the tide of battle.
Lead the Fight
Become the Traveler and join the ranks of humanity’s elite explorers who venture through time and space to steal alien technologies from distant worlds.
Face rival Dynasties, monstrous creatures, hostile aliens—and worst of all, the Celestials themselves, whose weapons make yours look primitive. Constantly outnumbered and outgunned, you'll survive through stealth, ingenuity, and an arsenal forged from human tech and salvaged Celestial Remnants.
Humanity’s fate depends on you. Step forward and seize your destiny.
The Traveler's Creed
We sail on the edge of lightspeed, where time moves differently.
As each day goes by, years pass for those we leave behind.
Our service - our sacrifice - discovers worlds, seeds hope, breaks empires.
