Taking place in the Chains of Worlds, players assume the role of Legates, commanders of frames, overseeing base development and leading strategic battles. As the narrative unfolds, players embody different Legates from various factions, providing multiple perspectives on unfolding events. Centuries after the Exodus, new coalitions emerge, challenging the ideals of the spirits. The Return coalition, led by the Committee of Truth, seeks to return to Earth from the root worlds, rejecting the spirits' dogma. Similarly, the Spongean Empire advocates for enhanced humans conquering the Psychosphere (Storyline via IGDB)
