Starbound: The Origin Era

In 2300 AD, a swarm of meteorites from beyond the heavens shattered the world above ground.

Unknown cosmic toxins and alien organisms ran rampant after reaching Earth. Life across the planet mutated, human technology collapsed completely, and billions perished in the catastrophe.

The surviving humans retreated to underground fortresses, scraping by in the dark rock layers for a hundred years as civilization teetered on the brink of extinction.

In their desperate plight, humanity deciphered a new energy source from the mutated remains. Using it, they built a new generation of energy-powered mechs, and technology made a miraculous recovery.

In search of a way to survive, humanity poured all its national resources into building an exploration vessel and sending it into space. But it was unexpectedly drawn by a mysterious magnetic field and crashed on the far side of the moon.

An alien warship, dormant for a billion years, changed humanity's fate forever.

It turned out the century-long catastrophe had never been a natural disaster, but a selection experiment conducted by a higher civilization.

From struggling to survive underground to returning to the surface; from fighting for survival in the solar system to ranging across the sea of stars.

Lin Fan rises with the Tianheng Mech, resisting alien races from across the heavens and striking back against higher civilizations with a mortal's body.

Shatter fate. Break free from the cage!

The primordial era of humanity's journey among the stars begins now!
