Blurb for the upcoming game:

"Echoes of Europa" In the distant future, humanity has reached for the stars, leaving behind a shattered Solar System and settling on the far reaches of the galactic rim. A brave new world awaits in the vast and uncharted territories of the new star system, where hope, danger, and mystery abound.
After discovering a devastating biomechanical weapon on Europa, humanity was forced to flee through an experimental gate, landing in a colossal and unfamiliar star system. Here, they have begun to rebuild, split into various factions driven by political and religious ideologies. Colonies on distant planets and moons strive to find the resources needed to survive and thrive.
But new threats lurk in the shadows of this frontier. An alien menace, evolved from a hybrid of humanity's own kind, now prowls the edges of civilization. These creatures, born from a gruesome fusion of life forms, are intelligent, adaptable, and utterly lethal. The first contact resulted in the annihilation of a remote colony, leaving a trail of mystery and fear.
In "Echoes of Europa," you will explore uncharted planets, delve into ancient ruins, and navigate the treacherous politics of divided humanity. Forge alliances, uncover secrets, and fight for survival against a relentless alien threat that could spell the end of humanity's new beginning. Will you unite the factions and lead the charge against the darkness, or will the echoes of Europa's past doom your future? Join us on an epic journey of discovery, survival, and the fight for humanity's future in the farthest reaches of space.
