It is the year 996 of the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor of Mankind has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of His inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the vast Imperium of Man for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day so that He may never truly die...
Project DAWN was humanity's first attempt to spread beyond the solar system - an attempt that ended in disaster. A century and a half later, the lost colony was rediscovered...and immediately threatened by hypercorporate greed and the fate of being yet another proxy for the NeoColonial Wars.
The Nomad Nation isn't willing to let that happen...and unfortunately, they tapped you to make sure it doesn't.
