The Shrouded Galaxy

The star systems of The Shrouded Galaxy form a sprawling tapestry of human ambition, corporate greed, and cosmic mystery. At its heart lies the enigmatic Acheron System, a hub of commerce, exploration, and interstellar intrigue. Its planets, scarred by relentless Terraforming and corporate wars, are home to sprawling mega-cities like New Arkham and Blackreach, while its Jump Gates make it the only system directly connected to all others in the galaxy. The Acheron System serves as a vital crossroads for trade and diplomacy, but also as a hotbed for shadowy dealings and the study of Eldritch phenomena.

Beyond Acheron, systems like the Alpha Centauri System boast resource-rich worlds, while the Trappist - 1 System and Kepler - 62 System remain steeped in mystery, harboring alien ruins and artifacts tied to the Precursors. The ancient network of Jump Gates links these distant systems, supplemented by warp-capable ships that push the boundaries of human reach. Colonized worlds reflect the scars of Terraforming experiments and centuries of corporate dominance, with vibrant mega-cities, perilous mining colonies, and isolated research outposts dotting the stars. Political tensions simmer between local governments, the Interstellar Confederation of Systems (ICS), and the mega-corporations that rule entire planets. Amidst these tensions, the lingering presence of Eldritch phenomena and the shadow of the Old Ones create a backdrop of unease and wonder. The star systems of The Shrouded Galaxy are not merely destinations—they are stories waiting to be uncovered, each one a fragment of humanity’s ongoing struggle to thrive amidst the stars.
