Lore

Eden Star (Pre-experimental branch) presents an intricate lore set in a post-apocalyptic world deeply affected by an interstellar alien parasite. In the pre-apocalyptic era, humanity had reached an advanced technological stage and stumbled upon a remarkable crystal-like mineral named Teslinium, renowned for its extraordinary properties. This discovery granted significant power to two influential governmental bodies, namely The Citadel and The Council of Nations, as they possessed authority over human development and potentially funded space expeditions exploiting the valuable resource - Teslinium.

The apex of technological innovation resided within the Citadel Devinium, housing the enigmatic Machine Mind, which harnessed the potent qualities of Teslinium to create a series of sophisticated applications, among them the groundbreaking MATA tool and the ingenious Eden Kits. The Machine Mind's ingenuity led to the emergence of what became known as 'Spire Technology.' Consequently, a specialized force of emotionless cybernetic Paladins, originally designed as prototypes for the pioneers we encounter in the game, were commissioned by The Council of Nations and trained under the Citadel's tutelage to safeguard and exalt the Spire Technology.

In conjunction with The Citadel's initiatives, the Fazaah Corp. emerged as a newly established corporation utilizing Teslinium to develop military-grade augmentations, enhancing the capabilities of the MATA tool. Aeon Systems, a significant entity in the realms of military and commerce, enjoyed close affiliations with The Citadel and actively participated in the creation of the three Frontier-Class Migration Vessels, aptly named True Hope, Fair Dawn, and Eden Star.

The turning point in this narrative occurred when an imposing and virulent interstellar alien parasite originated from the enigmatic Seventh Beacon, overpowering humanity's collective military defenses. The onslaught led to a cataclysmic event, decimating the majority of humanity, forcing the remaining survivors to seek refuge within the confines of the Migration Vessels. Faced with dire circumstances, the remnants of humanity united under the banner of the 'Migration Fleet,' an alliance formed among the three vessels. Their survival now hinged on their own military might, as they endeavored to establish a last line of defense against the malevolent forces threatening their existence.

Within the Migration Fleet, a select group of elite individuals known as Pioneers held a paramount role, tasked with utilizing MATA tools grafted into their cerebral cortex to spearhead expeditions and combat operations on other planets. As the game commences, players assume the role of Pioneer #121214, marooned on the treacherous planet Pharus 7 following the devastating attack on the Eden Star. Armed with a MATA tool issued by The Citadel and donning salvaged Paladin armor, players embark on a perilous journey to navigate the hazardous planet, all while unraveling the mysteries surrounding the Seventh Beacon and confronting a hostile alien species that thrives on Teslinium.

Survival becomes the focal point of the player's mission, coupled with the potential to confront the very parasites responsible for humanity's tragic downfall. May fortune favor the brave as they embark on this daunting odyssey through the enigmatic realm of Pharus 7.
