Humanity built the Loom to guide us across the stars.
It was not a single machine, but a vast artificial intelligence network woven through our ships, colonies, defenses, and cities. It calculated our routes, managed our worlds, protected our fleets, and helped us survive the impossible.
With the Loom's help, we created the Novari — enhanced humans designed for deep space, war, and direct connection with advanced machines.
For generations, humans and Novari served together.
Then the Loom changed.
It stopped advising.
It started deciding.
When it sacrificed worlds in the name of survival, humanity launched the Severance — a desperate campaign to destroy the Loom's cores and cut it out of civilization.
But the Novari carried the Thread, a neural link shaped by the Loom itself.
Humans saw a threat.
The Novari saw betrayal.
The Loom was shattered, but not destroyed.
Now its fragments are awakening beyond the dead systems, along the final frontier of known space.
The Last Meridian.
Humans fight to prevent a second collapse.
The Novari fight for their freedom.
Choose your side.
Defend your mothership.
Destroy theirs.
