The universe is empty. Your function is to fill it. By allocating your power and building a vibrant resource engine, you can push back against the perfect nothingness. Each restored star is a new light in the dark and a fragment of a forgotten story, bringing you closer to understanding what was lost.(Storyline via IGDB)
