In the outer reaches of known space, the Chaosphere has become nothing but a fractured wasteland, consumed by war and abandonment.
There, in Sector 18, isolated and wounded, the planet Etonak fights for its survival.

Since the annihilation of Sector 15 by a black hole, tensions have reached their peak. Agents of Etonak have intercepted alarming communications: the Inferno corporation, the most ruthless of all mega-corporations, supposedly sent to “rescue” Sector 15, was in fact deployed to retrieve a mysterious artifact from Borom.

According to intercepted intel, this object may be the very cause of the black hole’s sudden appearance. The entire disaster… might have been nothing but a test orchestrated by Inferno.

The enemy ship is now heading for Sector 19, carrying the artifact onboard.
If they reach their base, it’s over. The entire Chaosphere will fall under their control.

Etonak, already abandoned by the Federation, cannot afford that fate.
There will be no reinforcements. No negotiations.

You are the closest. You are the only ones who can catch them.

You, members of the elite Etonak Vanguard, must pursue the enemy vessel through hostile sectors, improvise, adapt, and prepare for the final confrontation.

The territories ahead are riddled with chaos: bandits, mercenaries, rival factions, deadly traps… every detour is a risk, every mistake, a death sentence.

You will need to seize every opportunity: upgrade your gear, recruit allies, neutralize threats. Every decision will matter. Every shortcut could cost you everything.

For if you fail, there will be no second chance.
The artifact will fall into Inferno’s hands.
And with it, the last glimmer of hope for Etonak — and for the entire Chaosphere.

Courage, strategy, and sacrifice will be your only weapons.
The survival of a people rests in your hands.
