While man takes his place among the Light of distant Stars, the price of survival may be to embrace the Shadows in Darkness...

Man has finally reached new worlds and taken the first steps into the abyss, but, seemingly alone, we have had very little reason to change our ways.
War and profit are still the final say in things, so we should be content the recent cycle of war has passed and Humanity is once again united in peace, spread out among a dozen worlds.

You embody a veteran who has served his planet, just a man and his dog looking to move on as the newly minted Captain of a starship with an oddly sensual and motley crew.
But you will rise to be the leader of a destiny that has been seemingly chosen for you by an ancient force from beyond our reality or comprehension.

The tides of change from the "Other" sides are coming, and you, as the chosen herald to a less-than-merciful Elder God, must prepare humanity for what is coming.
Chaos, Madness, and Cosmic Lovecraftian Horrors that know only hunger and destruction will take much more from everyone and everything if you fail or fall.

When the greater good considers compassion weakness, can you be sure you are doing the right thing? Is it okay to enjoy the rewards and pleasures anyway?
The Darkness is Calling, and it comes bearing gifts...
