Frontier: Path of Shadows

What is the Frontier? The outskirts of known space, where everything comes down to chance: strike it rich today, end up rotting in a pirate hold tomorrow. Many come here chasing glory and fortune. We're just trying to live here. Most days, survive.

The Simurgh is a battered corvette, but the crew is top-tier.

Rob keeps us flying straight and makes sure we don't crash on landing.

Alice lives in the engine room, keeping the ship from falling apart. She can also crack a system or two when needed.

Khan knows more than the rest of us combined. We don't question it: his mission plans speak for themselves.

And then there's me — Jay. I joined them after a sentient crystal — hunted across half the galaxy — got into my head and turned my life as a simple courier upside down.

Now I have to figure out what it is, how to communicate with it and what's really happening on the Frontier while the rest of humanity looks the other way.

And you know what? We could use your help.

CODE RED

PLAN YOUR STRATEGY: We took the best of X-COM and Final Fantasy and stripped away unnecessary coin-flipping. Every move matters. Procedurally generated maps adapt to your past decisions, keeping every encounter fresh and challenging.

 

CODE GREEN

EXPLORE THE FRONTIER: The Frontier is vast and largely uncharted. Travel to worlds no one has set foot on, gather resources, earn credits, and unlock new opportunities.

GROW STRONGER: Upgrade your squad, find better gear, and keep it in working condition. Equipment failure in the middle of a fight is the last thing you want. High-end tech is rare out here, but a skilled merc always finds a way.

 

CODE BLUE

CHOOSE YOUR PATH: Jay wants to survive. Johnson wants to be remembered. And what the crystal symbiont wants… no one really knows. Choose your allies and enemies, uncover the secrets of the Frontier, and shape the fate of humanity.

CHANGE THE WORLD: For 15 years, we've been building this universe together with our players. Now it's your turn to leave your mark.

CODE WHITE

So… what the hell is all this color symbolism about?
