📖 Story Backstory
The introduction and setting of the world, including its history.
Sigma Station was Nexus Corporation's crown jewel—a cutting-edge research facility on the edge of explored space. Six months ago, all communications ceased. Official reports cite a catastrophic reactor failure. Unofficial whispers speak of a containment breach in the alien biotech labs. Nexus has quarantined the sector, but denies any survivors or recoverable data. The station now drifts, a tomb of frozen corpses, rogue automation, and unsoldered secrets. Scavengers brave the debris field, lured by priceless corporate tech, but few return. Those who do speak of moving shadows and a voice in the static that knows their names.
