Vulkil troops breach the laboratory beneath Olympia Prime just as ZOA398 wakes from the procedure that changed him. His escape leads to occupied Earth and the human resistance on Mars. Farther ahead, the Aedivir will decide whether Humanity can be trusted with the knowledge it needs to survive.
01 // Core campaign
These locations form the confirmed campaign path. Each briefing explains what ZOA398 is trying to accomplish without revealing how the mission ends or what Humanity ultimately finds.
Later destinations open as ZOA398 uncovers routes and earns support. Your choices can change when you reach them.
By the time ZOA398 wakes, Vulkil forces have broken Earth’s defenses and reached the laboratory below Olympia Prime. Escaping the moon is the first battle in a war Humanity may no longer have the strength to fight.
ZOA398 wakes as Vulkil troops breach the research compound that created him. Every subject before him died during enhancement, and the only people who could explain his survival are under attack.
Drop behind enemy lines into a dead human outpost surrounded by an occupation that believes Earth is already pacified.
The route to Mars is sealed by Interdictor and Vindicator squadrons. A stolen ship and a narrow jump window are all humanity has left.
Mars shelters Humanity’s last intact command network beneath its surface. The Vulkil have begun searching the planet, and one discovered entrance could expose every survivor below.
An abandoned surface installation conceals the entrance to humanity’s last intact colony. Alien scouts followed the jump trail.
Below the rock waits a workshop, permanent storage, a navigation core, and the remains of Earth’s command structure.
The resistance is divided over who should control ZOA398 and what victory should mean. Missions after Mars force him to negotiate with human factions before he can continue pursuing the Vulkil.
After Mars, destinations open when ZOA398 discovers how to reach them or wins help from the people who can. Their order can shift with the campaign state.
Military and survivor factions share a headquarters because neither can hold it alone. The truce is practical, armed, and one mistake from collapse.
The surviving President has ordered ZOA398’s arrest pending interrogation. The planet’s most dangerous survivor is also its least controllable asset.
Humanity’s search for a way to survive the Vulkil leads to the Aedivir, a peaceful civilization whose science reaches far beyond anything either side can build. They have hidden part of that knowledge and forbidden its use.
02 // Exploration + authored environments
The wider game includes navigation spaces and repeatable alien worlds. Other authored destinations also survive in the project, although their place in the final campaign has not been established.
A global-travel interface built around a political globe of Earth. It is navigation infrastructure rather than a campaign destination, so no mission is implied.
NAV 01Plot jumps of up to twenty light-years, identify habitable systems, and decide where limited fuel and intelligence are worth risking.
SYS 154Move from the galactic view into a single system, survey its worlds, and select a landing site before committing the ship.
PLN AA repeatable planetary theatre where terrain, resources, hazards, and points of interest turn exploration into a campaign system of its own.
PLN TAn abandoned planet marked by the Vulkil. Its altered ecology and empty installations preserve evidence the occupation could not erase.
ENV 01A remote island environment recorded in the campaign archive. Mission parameters and its connection to the wider search remain classified.
ENV 02A fortified installation rises from dense alien vegetation. Its builders, present occupants, and value to the war are not yet confirmed.
ISF 01A registered deep-space environment built around the ISF Clumsy Automation—a human ship operating far beyond the safety of planetary cover.
03 // Prototype theatres
The project contains four additional Survive & Extract environments. They are presented as playable prototypes because the surviving campaign records do not establish when, or whether, ZOA398 reaches them.
PROTO 01A Vulkil-occupied post-collapse city configured for repeatable Survive & Extract combat. The space is playable, but no authored campaign mission is attached to it.
An excavation theatre with two extraction points and roaming Laminoferox fauna. Its mission array is empty, so objective, allegiance, and campaign placement remain unverified.
An offworld industrial arena with randomized loot and hostile-AI infrastructure. No planet, faction, refinery objective, or narrative placement is currently authored.
A contested urban combat space with repeatable bot encounters. The recovered scene does not establish who is fighting, why they are there, or where it belongs in the campaign.
Contact file unlocked // XENOLOG
The Xenolog records what ZOA398 learns about the people he meets and the field names soldiers use when diplomacy gives way to combat.
