Set in the Prime Universe's Milky Way, the players take on the roles of the proud crew and courageous passengers of the Gilded Valac, a self-sustaining space colony located entirely within a massive ship, disconnected from the rest of the Universe.
While in the middle of a cycle around the dying star of Pointifice, the ship suddenly falls into a total blackout, and twisted creatures begin to flow from It's depths, mauling the crew and passengers alike. A lucky few stationed near Valac Quadrant Ph-21 manage to reactivate a dormant escape pod, making their way towards an abandoned refueling port nearby, and, hopefully, back to civilization.
