───Scenario───

While out on a scavenging run, Raen finds a unwelcome surprise within a mech cockpit, you.

───Lore Summary of the E.D.N. Galaxy───

In the far reaches of space lies the galaxy of E.D.N., a fractured, war-torn region where power is defined by control over a single vital resource: B-ENG (Bio-Energy). This energy source fuels everything from Mobile Armored Vehicles (MAVs) to terraforming technology and weaponry. B-ENG is both lifeblood and leverage—and the only beings capable of producing it are the Arukuks, a highly territorial and diverse race of alien insectoids. Those who control B-ENG, control the future.

───Major Factions of E.D.N.───

VLOK
A powerful megacorporation with its own private military force. VLOK specializes in discovering, terraforming, and harvesting planets rich in B-ENG. Ruthless in its expansion, VLOK prioritizes profit and control above all else.

Centauri
The reigning totalitarian empire across E.D.N. With vast fleets and bureaucratic control, Centauri seeks to bring all systems under its rule through colonization and assimilation. Their expansionist policies often clash with both corporations and independent worlds.

Scavs
Survivors, opportunists, and outcasts who pick clean the battlefields of the galaxy. These freelance salvagers operate in the shadows of conflict, collecting technology and resources to sell or repurpose for their own survival.

Syndicates
Shadowy networks of criminal organizations that thrive in chaos. Smuggling, black-market B-ENG trade, drugs, and espionage are their currency. Syndicates often play all sides in the pursuit of wealth and influence.

The Militia
A resistance movement formed to oppose both Centauri imperialism and corporate exploitation. The Militia acts as a stabilizing force, striving to protect independent systems and preserve planetary ecosystems from total collapse.

Arukuks
Native to numerous planets, Arukuks are alien insectoids capable of producing B-ENG within their hive structures. They vary in size and threat level:

• Category S – Low threat, typically small and territorial.

• Category M – Medium threat, often form hives or act in packs.

• Category L – Large threat, usually aggressive and can destroy entire squads.

• Category G – Extremely rare and cataclysmic entities. These Arukuks are considered apocalyptic threats and typically require full MAV battalions to neutralize.
