“Honor thy destiny!”

“To the Collective I swear!”

A mega-corporation steals your planet’s light. Are you doomed to bend a knee or destined to stand and fight back?

The Ursa Major Cosmic Collective harvests stars across the constellation, and aims next for the unexplored solar systems known as the Outer Isles. Pledging riches beyond belief to any brave explorers, eager new-grad Atom steps up to the plate. Tasked with mining the universe’s most valuable ore, the threat of lurking monsters—combined with his timid attitude—keeps him questioning if he can get the job done.

Join Atom and his team of pioneers as they travel to planet Phosphoresia to discover new civilizations, unearth ancient treasures and battle powerful foes that fight for their right to light.
