The Species of Chaos Agents
The Species of Chaos Agents
The Story So Far…
Before the universe, there existed only Chaos, a formless matter. When the gravitational force of Chaos compressed it to an infinitesimal point, it exploded and formed the Firmament.
Systems of planets and life evolved from the transfiguration of Chaos, as did dense gem-like Shards scattered across worlds.
These Shards radiate densities of time and gravity, causing the evolution and morphology of species, and have been manipulated by them to imbue select members of each race with extraordinary powers.
Shards are now found primarily on planets that have remained inaccessible due to interstellar clouds and gravitational forces.
Cosmic events like solar storms and the collapse of stars create brief windows to access these Shard-rich planets, and five powerful races rapidly descend upon them to battle each other in their quest to harvest Shards.

The Story and Characters
Players will collect and play globally unique heroes as power brokers in the Firmament, dispatching their heroes to fight either for the individual objectives of the heroes themselves, or for the higher-level objectives of the various hero races—these goals are sometimes the same.
In just a few short months, you’ll be among the first to experience our races for yourself. While every player will own and build a unique hero, we’ve drawn canonical characters from each race for storytelling opportunities. We hope our characters inspire gamers to jump in and begin journeys with their own heroes.
Titus the Mahdi
Titus’s mother was killed fighting to protect his world’s Shard stores. For him, preserving Shards not only protects his spiritual path back to the creator, but his reunion with his mother, if he’s valiant.
Dusana the Clausius
Dusana is a physicist. She believes Vespersa—a planet recently accessible for Shard harvesting—could collapse if pillaged, setting off a chain reaction that would destroy the Mahdi planetary system.
Wolfram the Tsallis
Wolfram is a veteran of eight battle-planet campaigns. He’s addicted to war, and compulsively reenlists for every off-world conflict. He’s aware of his addiction, and fights as much for fun as he does for Shards.
Sorith the Brillouin
Sorith is a ranking member of the Brillouin Trade Bank, which does business across the Firmament. The bank is over-leveraged due to some bad trades. She needs to win on Vespersa to avoid scandal.
Valon the Massieu
Valon is one of the most decorated Massieu Shard Captains. If he can out-position his enemies on Verspersa, not only could it give his people leverage to take the Trade bank, but he’d be in line to become emperor.
