Aresium is a war-scarred world locked in a centuries-old siege against an off-world enemy whose origins remain a mystery and whose motives are feared more than understood. Entire generations have known nothing but conflict as cities crumble and landscapes twist under the weight of the unending battle.

Military technology has surged forward; biotech soldiers, cybernetic hybrids, and augmented humans now wage war on the frontlines while society itself fractures under the strain.

Progress serves the war effort alone and daily life is ruled by fear of conscription and silence. As pressure mounts on the planet’s leaders to hold the line, whispers of surrender grow - but no one is sure if peace would bring salvation or extinction.
