Background & Lore

The Shrouded Galaxy is a vast and fractured domain where humanity’s ambition and resilience collide with the mysteries of the cosmos. Fueled by the discovery of Alien Artifacts and the enigmatic force known as Eldritch Energy, the galaxy has seen explosive advancements in FTL travel (Warp Drives and Jump Gates) and Terraforming, enabling the colonization of distant star systems. Yet, these triumphs come at a cost: the dominance of mega-corporations, whose power often eclipses that of governments, and whose relentless pursuit of profit shapes the lives of billions. As humanity pushes further into the unknown, encountering ancient ruins and the shadowy influence of the Old Ones, societies must contend with Resonants—genetically engineered wielders of Eldritch Energy—whose existence blurs the line between savior and threat. The Shrouded Galaxy is a crucible of conflict and discovery, where fragile alliances, corporate machinations, and the ever-present shadow of the unknown weave a tale of survival and dominance among the stars.
