Prologue

The last few weeks have been spent traveling the drifts and making my way to the Crux Sector. Crux is a Sector out in the expanse, away from the core regions of space. It’s said that the expanse is a dangerous region of space where only the bold pioneers from the original exodus have bothered to traverse. These regions of space are largely unexplored and uncharted. Dangers lurk at every turn in the expanse and if you’re not careful you may become a causality of the expanse. My name is Lucas Malicos. I go by the callsign Brimstone. After hundreds of years, I am the first that have shown signs of a people that had the abilities to use something called the force. The force was a type of energy that was all around us back on earth. Certain people were able to use this energy, manipulate it, shape it and use it for various needs. Some used the force for good while others used it to bend people to their will and cause mayhem and destruction. It was said that the force corrupted people and there became a group called The Order of Light. The Order hunted people that were able to use the force and killed them. Little did we know back then that the Order was run by a force user with tremendous power. He was secretly capturing force users and recruiting them to the order. If they did not join they were killed. This started the great war back on Earth. This war lasted decades and destroyed the planet. In the midst of the war, our ancestors found a strange iron pillar on the moon. A map on the surface of this alien relic detailed the deep-space locations of the Iron Gates—massive devices which powered artificial wormholes. With no other options, the Exodus ships fled through the gates and emerged here in the Forge. Once entering the Forge, people that were able to use the force seemed to have disappeared. And for centuries the ability was no more. Until now. A great threat has shown its ugly head in this galaxy. Many sites and planets are infested by dreadful Forgespawn. These aberrant creatures threaten to overrun other life in the galaxy. The forgespawn are hostile creatures born of the chaotic energies of this galaxy. Hundreds of abandoned or devastated outposts and derelict ships stand as a testament to their dreadful power and cunning. I wear an iron necklace with a symbol in the shape of a hexagon. A circle is in the middle with arrows pointing out towards the points of the hexagon. This necklace has been in my family for generations. I learned that it is an ancient symbol of people that were able to use the force. I now am looking for others like me, people that can use the force and help fight the Forgespawn that threatens to destroy the galaxy. After many years of searching, I came across information that led me to this Sector of the Forge, Crux. A man called Fidget. Fidget is a scavenger and supposedly found an ancient ruin with this symbol on the entrance way. Fidget resides in Wayward, a settlement on a toxic desert world in the Crux Sector.

This is where my story begins.
