All the wonders and dangers of the stars are at your fingertips – if only you can bring yourself to go out and face them.
Airless moons orbit swirling gas giants longing to be transformed into the paradise of tomorrow. Dark, ancient secrets wait to be unearthed from beneath millennia of debris. Blossoming solar flares cook your flesh and blacken your bones, while harnessing their power to light up hundreds of planets. Long-lost secrets lie buried deep in the frozen hearts of icy comets. Tectonic layers shift and drown iridium mines in glowing lava.
The truth about the origins of humanity also awaits you out there, perhaps in the orbit of a dying star? And in the midst of it all is something truly terrible – something nature never intended.
Something alien.
