Perseus Arm, The Milkyway / 2718 AD
Ashkay Snowhunter lives in the shadow of sacrifice, devoting himself to upholding the legacy of his parents; noble soldiers who gave their lives to bring their people an uneasy peace after a galaxy-consuming parasite tore its way through the Perseus Arm.
The peace Ashkay's parents died for was never destined to last; their battered nation now at war with the newly discovered and unpredictable Humanity. Ashkay has taken up the mantle to defend his home just as his parents once did.
When an old friend reaches out, their urgent call for help lends credence to unsettling whispers: The same hivemind Ashkay's parents gave their lives to destroy has returned.
With duty in front of him, and those he loves behind, ghosts of the past beckon Ashkay down a treacherous path to finish what his parents started, even if it leads him to the same fate...
