The Seeker, the little drone that came to life, that was accidentally activated by the debris of the EPC-221. It all began after the Great Galactic war when people had to leave earth but instead of living peacefully, they destroyed themselves in a chaotic thirst for power. Now you, as The Seeker, woken up, and armed, are trying to seek what truly happened in the era of the Great Galactic war, that wiped the humanity clean.(Storyline via IGDB)
