In 2079 of the New Earth Era, a vacuum zero-point energy experiment spiraled out of control, and the Punishing Virus tore the world apart.
It infested flesh and enslaved machines, turning civilization into a wasteland. Billions became frenzied infected, while humanity retreated to the floating battleship Sky Garden and clung desperately to life.
To reclaim their home planet, humanity transformed its soldiers into Constructs: machines for bodies, human hearts for souls. Armed with the Punishing device, they would cut through the catastrophe of the red tide.
Now, the ground expeditionary force's commander leads a squad into the silent ruins.
Ahead lie endless infected and the mysterious Ascendants. Behind them rests humanity's faltering hope.
Beneath the abyss, virus and consciousness intertwine; on the battlefield, blades and conviction stand together.
Constructs are not emotionless weapons. They have love, hatred, obsessions, and tenderness.
When the apocalypse comes and fate becomes a prison, humanity will fight alongside them, tear through the darkness, and confront the ultimate truth of the vacuum abyss.
This is no simple campaign to reclaim the land. It is humanity's last chance at redemption and glory.
