In the year 2287, humanity has colonized several planets in the distant reaches of the galaxy. The United Earth Government (UEG) has established a program to explore and settle new worlds, known as the Aurora Initiative.

The Aurora’s Hope is sent to investigate an abandoned research station on the remote planet of Kepler-62f. Upon arrival, they discover a strange energy signature emanating from the planet’s core. As they delve deeper, they uncover a hidden alien city, hidden beneath the planet’s surface.

The city holds secrets of an ancient civilization, and a powerful technology that could change the course of human history. However, they soon realize they are not alone. A rival expedition, led by the enigmatic and ruthless, Captain Zara Blackwood, will stop at nothing to claim the technology for themselves.
