THE SKALOS UNIVERSE

GRAVITY IS BROKEN. TRUST NO ONE.

Twenty-five years ago, the Fracture shattered the laws of physics. Now, the Pacific Northwest is a graveyard of floating ruins and twisted biology, held in the grip of the Gravonin Field.

In this new world, humanity didn't just survive; it mutated. Survivors known as Resonants wield reality-bending powers—but every use of that power brings them closer to the Corruption.

THE FACTIONS

  • THE KEEPERS

    • Role: The Archivists & Spiritual Leaders.

    • The Public Face: They claim to guard the history of the "Before World" and guide Resonants in controlling their powers. They preach order and stability.

    • The Reality: A monastic order riddled with secrets. They control the food, the history, and the "truth." But deep within their archives, something is rotting.

    • Key Figure: Mother Superior Thane – The serene voice of the new world.

  • THE REMNANT

    • Role: The Military & Law.

    • The Public Face: The last fragments of the old world’s military might. They patrol the skies in high-tech skiffs, enforcing "quarantine" zones and fighting back the Skalic hordes.

    • The Reality: Overstretched and losing the war. They rely on brute force and outdated tech to hold back an alien tide that evolves faster than they can reload.

    • Key Figure: Zara Voss – An ace pilot bridging the gap between the regimented military and the chaotic wasteland .

  • THE CRUX-CULT

    • Role: The Terrorists.

    • The Belief: They worship the alien entity SKALOS. They believe the Fracture wasn't a disaster, but a "baptism." They seek to spread the Corruption and feed the alien engines that broke the world.

    • The Threat: They are infiltrating the other factions, turning our own defenses against us. They don't want to save the world; they want to harvest it.

THE THREAT: SKALICS

TYPE A: THE PARASITE

Classification: Bio-Mechanical Parasites.

Origin: Unknown / Extradimensional.

Behavior: They hunt consciousness. They don't just kill; they consume. Victims of a Skalic attack aren't found dead; they are found "Skaled"—their minds wiped, their bodies dissolved into a toxic sludge known as Slog .
