IN TIMES OF CRISIS, interstellar coexistence is shattered and interplanetary trade collapses. War and antipathy disrupt space-highways, and the distances across the Void grow ever greater. Eventually, relations and alliances between solar systems fall by the wayside, and millennia of evolution return to square one. Every civilization for itself, under the glare of its own sun.
System of the Swollen Sun
The solar system in which this adventure takes place is called Scattered Disk. Little is known about its history as the records have been lost over millions of years. However, it is known that the hungry sun woke up, after an existence fueling its neighbors, and devoured life on nearby planets by doubling its size. It is also known that a prominent private company operating on one of these extinct planets had developed a technology capable of colonizing previously uninhabitable atmospheres. The company, called Andromeda, also known as “The Corporation,” accelerated its studies at the first signs that the sun was increasing its circumference.
