In the year 2234, humanity… isn’t much better than it is now. Still divided into petty nation-states and private interests, humanity has allowed their spread into the stars to be captured by the whims of the wealthy. This has given rise to a constant state of private war beyond the watchful eye of Mother Earth, where the rich and powerful pay armature pilots to help them get one over on their competition.
On Venus, the greatest nexus of the decadence of space, a new class of mercenary has arisen. These ‘Knights’ are sworn to their noble masters, and exterminate their foes with ruthless efficiency using cutting edge tech. You, of course…
Are not one of them.
Instead, you are one of the lowest rungs of Venusian society, a humble pilot of an Industrial Armature on the surface of Venus. Of course, fate may have other plans in store for you…

ROs (that are in the game)
Sun “Sunny” Lei (孙雷): Your co-worker turned armature mechanic, Sunny is a generally cheery if acerbic presence. She hasn’t shown any interest in you before, but maybe you can make her notice you?
“David”: Your taciturn and enigmatic handler, “David” (if that even is his real name) provides mission control and serves as your connection to the mercenary world of Venus. Perhaps you could make him see you as more than just another asset?
Diana: A bold and eccentric ‘Knight’, Diana (no last name given) is a soldier of the corporate lords that rule Venus. She may have ruined your old job, but perhaps something new can spark on more even footing?

Thank you for checking out my game! I’ve been a long time member of the community (check my account creation and that regular badge lmao), and it brings me the greatest joy to finally give back to it. I’ll gladly take any feedback folks have to offer, but I’d especially love to know if there are any points where you wanted to take an action that you couldn’t. I tried to let people make (even stupid) decisions, but I can’t predict everything.
