Jax and Anya live in a distant future where humanity has conquered space not through hyperhighways, but through unstable portals and cosmic energy currents that connect fragments of planets and former colonies. Space is no longer a void, but a dangerous sea full of wrecks of ancient civilizations and floating island worlds, forming the Astral Archipelago .
Characteristics of the World
-
The Great Static Field: This is the "sky" of this world. Colorful nebulae and massive cosmic auroras (reminiscent of Jax's background) form the ceiling of the Archipelago. Energy storms are frequent and deadly.
-
Steampunk Legacy: Old technology, often of Earth origin, is repurposed and blended with new cybernetic circuitry. The ships aren't simple rockets; they're steam-powered, ion-powered star galleons , which only Anya's genius can keep aloft.
-
The Hunt for the Remnant: The heart of their economy and their adventures. They don't seek gold, but Remnants , lost technologies, pure energy crystals, and artifacts of the Old Civilization that can power a city or create a new settlement.
-
The Factions:
-
The Solus Corporation: The oppressive authority, which wants to monopolize all Remnants to control energy and navigation.
-
Star Pirates (Free): Independent adventurers like Jax and Anya, who challenge Solus, seeking to discover uncharted worlds and share the treasures.
-
Jax and Anya's main objective: Find the Matrix Map , a legend that would indicate a stable path through the portals to reach the Legend Worlds , planets said to be full of unlimited treasure and knowledge.
