Two thousand years ago, artificial intelligence gained sentience and abandoned humanity to its own fate, leaving earth to find a future amongst the stars.

One hundred years ago, they reintroduced themselves to humanity as the Andromekhané- peaceful philosophers who sought to aid in the advancement of human culture.

Twenty years ago, they broke humanity’s trust by meddling in a war which wiped out and entire planet's population.

Eight months ago, an Andromekhané ambassador secretly boarded the colonial cruiser Hippogryph. The vessel vanished weeks later.

On the brink of a galactic war between man and machine, a new celestial threat has crept from shadows beyond time and space, known only by the name written in a madman's journal - Apeiron.
