Prologue

In the vast silence of space, humanity's reach extends, but the isolation remains.

An endless void, black and unforgiving, stretches between planets, between lives—a darkness mirroring the battles raging within human souls.

Space is a cradle, a battleground, a tomb—and now, a final frontier in humanity's struggle for survival.

As they drift further from Earth, humans seek a place where the void in their souls might find meaning.

Yet, the further they reach, the closer they come to confronting the very emptiness they can never escape.

As humankind presses onward into the unknown, Earth slips into memory—a wounded birthplace fading in the gulf behind them, its past haunting humanity’s future.

Once, Earth was a hotbed of life.

Now, it is a fading vestige of beauty, scarred and suffocated like those who call it home.

Fortress cities glitter under the protection of massive walls and forcefields, sheltering artificial gardens—bio-engineered utopias reminiscent of Earth's glory, safe from the smog and rot spreading across the planet.

Earth remains a paradise for the wealthy, crafted in the memory of the long-gone days of abundant emerald forests and clear rivers.

However, the glimmering fortresses mask a fractured world. Outside these fortifications, the reality is far grimmer.

Sprawling, congested cities smother under thick blankets of pollution.

The rivers run poisoned, and the soil lies gray and lifeless.

Water and clean food, once plentiful, are now treasures, hoarded and fought over by those desperate enough to brave the deteriorating wastelands.

Beyond even the polluted megacities are the Deadlands—silent testaments to human negligence and unchecked ambition.

Vast zones of lawlessness, their ground blackened and twisted, scarred by the relentless touch of war.

Nothing grows; few survive. These wastelands are for the desperate, the discarded—those left to rot alongside the Earth itself.

What lies abandoned below mirrors what humanity pursues above.

As human endeavors carve a path into the stars, they leave behind the very world that once sustained them.

But the void endures, following them as a reminder of ambition's cost—the lives broken, the world turned to ash. Within this void lies a question: Can humanity overcome its nature, or will it leave destruction in its wake?

Even as the moon rises to dominance, Earth becomes a pawn in a darker game governed by corporate greed.

In the inner reaches of the solar system, power is negotiated across planets and moons, with Luna as its kingpin.

The Lunar Imperial Empire, founded on ambitions of independence, stands as the most powerful faction among the stars. Maintaining an iron grip on space operations, outpacing Earth in technology, military strength, and political influence.

Luna's ascent has left Earth a husk of its former self, a fading symbol of human civilization.

The planet is fractured not only by warfare but also by the unchecked rule of megacorporations that treat both the land and its people as resources to be exploited.

Chief among these corporate overlords is TerraCorp, an empire in its own right, whose motto—“We will put the Terra in Terror”—serves as both threat and promise.

TerraCorp and its rivals govern Earth's affairs, manipulating politics, militarizing resources, and controlling what remains of Earth's dwindling assets.

Yet, beneath corporate stranglehold, rebellion simmers, ignited by the desire for liberation.

Revolutionary factions rise not only on Earth but across the colonies and asteroid belt, fueled by dreams of freedom from both Luna's imperial hand and Earth's corporate chains.

Though small, splintered, and outgunned, rebel resolve is fierce from the industrial heart of Mars to the moondust stirred by whispers of an uprising.

This struggle, however, extends beyond politics and power; it touches the core of survival itself.

In this crucible of conflict, alliances will be tested, loyalties broken, and the solar system's fate will be decided.

As humanity stretches into the cosmos, another question looms: Who will rule the stars, and at what cost?

Against the backdrop of humanity's internal conflicts looms a more formidable adversary—a force born from a cosmic forge.

The solar system teeters on the edge of survival and annihilation.

Humanity's expansion across the stars is a fragile bid for survival, continually threatened by forces beyond comprehension.

Among these threats is a plague, an affliction originating from Prometheus, Saturn's enigmatic inner moon, spreading across everything in Saturn's orbit like venom, claiming anything in its path.

The struggle against this living plague reflects humanity's desperate fight to endure in the face of extinction.

Prometheus, a small yet formidable moon, is home to the Prometheus Gate—also known as the Forge Gate—an anomaly born from the fusion of dark matter and volcanic energy deep within its core.

From the heart of Prometheus erupts destruction and the potential for boundless power, embodied by mech-like Kaiju.

Surrounding the Gate on Prometheus is a land alive with fire and fury, where creation and destruction blur as it breathes life into beings that illustrate its ferocious nature.

The Kaiju, encased in metallic armor, channel raw, untamed dark matter, fueling a devastating force of technological wrath.

While some will heroically stand against such rage, others are driven to unleash it. One figure, cloaked in ambition—and madness—seeks to open Pandora's Box. This is no ordinary pursuit of knowledge; it plunges into the darkest fringes of technological power.

A silent omen of chaos to come, casting morality and restraint aside... "For after Pandora's Box is opened, there is no return—only the uncertain path between survival and ruin."

So, as humanity reaches toward the stars—bound by ambition and desperation—a spark emerges amidst the vast void.

A young warrior stands at the threshold of destiny, on the edge of Saturn's rings, where metallic giants hold dominion and ancient powers lie buried.

Within him, the weight of loss threatens to smother his fiery resolve. Yet the embers of hope and vengeance flicker still, waiting to ignite.

This is the beginning—not of a battle between worlds, but of a young man's fight against darkness only he can confront. In the silence of space, his journey has only just begun.
