An Introduction to the World of Astraeus.

Lore

In the infinite void of space, the planet Astraeus - resource rich and strategically located - has known nothing but war. Throughout the eons, countless alien races have battled for control of the planet. Entire civilizations have been lost attempting to secure the planet’s vast wealth and tactical significance.

To this day, Astraeus remains both a crossroads and a warzone, where soldiers from across the galaxy can be found engaged in eternal combat. Fresh blood still stains the planets surface, as the battle ebbs and flows between the warring factions.

The infamy of Astraeus has grown over time as the legends of its riches have proven true. Soldiers fortunate enough to survive their time on the front line report riches beyond their wildest expectation. At least 8 advanced civilizations currently stake claims to parts of the planet’s surface, forming uneasy alliances to protect their interests and push their competition back into the depths of space. Each battle won strengthens their position, but the war is far from over, and there is no end to the conflict in sight.
