Sol 3

Lore & Background

In the Saga timeline, Earth is a distant planet that has suffered environmental degradation, but it is not a central battleground for the long-standing war between the Robot Kingdom and the Wreath, which predates any contact with Earth. The planet appears only briefly in the series, and its ruined cities or moon base are not established as significant locations. The story's protagonists, Alana and Marko, are from Landfall and Wreath, and their adventures do not primarily take place on Earth.

In Their Own Story

The wind howled through the skeletal remains of what was once a bustling metropolis, carrying with it the acrid taste of ash. A lone figure pulled their respirator tight against the choking fog, eyes scanning the horizon where the sky bled into a bruised purple. In the distance, the silhouette of an alien warship hovered silently, its lights casting long, eerie shadows over the rubble. Here on Sol-3, hope was a scarce commodity, but as the figure tightened their grip on their weapon, they knew that even in this broken world, fighting for tomorrow was still worth the cost.

Reader's Guide

Sol-3's history is marked by a slow descent into chaos following the industrial boom of the previous millennium. As resources dwindled and pollution reached critical levels, society fractured into isolated communities vying for survival. Inhabitants include hardened survivors, rogue androids seeking purpose, and scattered alien refugees. Cultural norms revolve around resource conservation, with trust being a rare currency in a world where betrayal can mean death. The visual aesthetic is a blend of cyberpunk decay and post-apocalyptic grit, featuring rusted skyscrapers, neon-lit underground markets, and vast stretches of barren wasteland. In the plot, Sol-3 serves as the crucible for the main character's journey, forcing them to confront the harsh realities of their world while uncovering deeper mysteries about humanity's past and future.
