AAR REPORT

LORE // TAU CETI IV

OBSERVER BRIEFING // YEAR 2893

THE DYING WORLD

Tau Ceti IV is a failing world hostile to human life. It once hosted a population of over 24,000 under the protection of the UESC Marathon. Now the storms eat the colonies one by one.

THE DERELICT SHIP

By 2893 the UESC Marathon hangs derelict in orbit. Its frozen vaults hold what the megacorps want back. Runners board. Not all of them disconnect.

THE RUNNERS

Former humans who traded their bodies for biosynthetic shells. A disembodied consciousness, a disposable frame, a contract. They may not trust each other — but a Runner can always be trusted to get the job done.
