The year is 2347. Humanity, once confined to the pale blue dot, now scatters like stardust across the Andromeda Galaxy. We came, we saw, we… mostly terraformed. But some worlds refused to be tamed. Xylos VII was one such place. Forget lush landscapes and breathable air. Xylos VII is a symphony of jagged obsidian cliffs, churning acid pools, and a sky perpetually choked with violet lightning. It's a place where gravity plays cruel tricks, where the very air hums with an unsettling energy, and where survival is a constant, desperate struggle against the planet itself. You are Aris Thorne, a scavenger. Not a noble explorer, not a corporate prospector, just a survivor, scraping a living from the scraps left behind by those who dared to dream of colonizing Xylos VII and failed. Your ship, the 'Rusty Nail,' is held together by more hope than welding, and your oxygen filters are perpetually on their last gasp. But rumors whisper on the solar winds, rumors of a Cache. Not just any cache, but *the* Cache - a pre-collapse archive containing technology so advanced, so powerful, it could rewrite the future. They say it's hidden deep within the Obsidian Labyrinth, a treacherous network of canyons carved by Xylos' violent storms. No one has ever returned from the Labyrinth. The shifting terrain, the corrosive atmosphere, the… *things* that lurk in the shadows - they all conspire to ensure that Xylos VII keeps its secrets. But you're desperate. Your supplies are dwindling, your ship needs repairs you can't afford, and you're starting to cough up more blood than space dust. The Cache, however improbable, is your only hope. So, Aris Thorne, scavenger, survivor, foolhardy dreamer... are you ready to delve into the Obsidian Labyrinth? Are you ready to face the horrors that await? Are you ready to risk everything for a chance at something more than just another sunrise on this godforsaken rock? Your journey begins now.
