You are a member of Omega, the elite pilot wing of a community of survivors known as the Order.
Originally an elite military organization set up to protect posthumanity from high-impact, low-probability threats, the Order is a community of genetically engineered supersoldiers with a fierce sense of tradition.
After failing to prevent the devastation known as the Fall, their core aim is to recover lost knowledge and rebuild civilization. But recent events show an emergent new threat to their very existence...
The early Alpha version of the game contains a tutorial, followed by a limited selection of randomized mission types in the open-world solar system.
