The Golden Age
The Solar System was humanity's backyard. Earth was a utopia powered by a civilisation operating at stellar scale.

We broke the Sun
Humanity reached a Type II golden age, then tried to hurry its way toward the stars. Project Icarus turned the source of that power into the beginning of the end.
The Dyson Swarm
A hyperdense collector swarm surrounded the Sun. Experimental star lifting was added to extract solar plasma and accelerate antimatter production.
The Great Collapse
A magnetic-containment failure destabilised the Sun, shattered Icarus, and forced the star prematurely into a red-giant phase.
Silicon Survival
Mercury was swallowed, Venus vaporised, and Earth became lethal. With no time for biological evacuation, human minds were preserved on chips.
Rebuild or vanish
Corporations, miners, soldiers, and pirates compete across portal-linked regions while humanity races toward interstellar survival.
Flight test // Android + iOS
Help shape the next flight.
Private Android and iPhone testing is underway. Help us check combat readability, onboarding, progression and phone performance. Access remains invitation-only.
Short, focused mobile play sessions—not an unfinished MMO promise.
Useful feedback on flight, combat readability, controls, and phone performance.
Occasional invitations and build updates. No marketing flood.
The build // now
A real game in your hands
Private Android and iPhone builds already include full-3D flight, cannon and missile combat, mining and recovery, the Nursery, station markets, quests and 30 market-ready hulls. Character saves restore across devices. Limited shared-pilot presence is being tested in connected regions.
Development truth
The release-phone flight-feel baseline was approved in September 2026. Shared-pilot presence and encounters remain limited tests. A full online arena, authoritative player economy, corporations and persistent universe are later work. No public release date is announced.
SYS.01
Fly where you point
Yaw and pitch the nose through loops, latch the throttle from STOP to FULL, burn afterburner, or spool a separate cruise gear for long crossings.
● On deviceSYS.02
Fight at phone scale
Cannon aim assist, dumb-fire or homing missiles, shield and hull damage, role-based drones, and a tactical contact ring built for thumbs.
● On deviceSYS.03
Recover and trade
Break asteroids or drones, let the companion droid scan the debris, choose what enters your hold, then store or sell it for Cinders while docked.
● In private testSYS.04
Die without ending
Your character is one continuing identity. A destroyed hull triggers clone recovery at a stocked station—or the protected Nursery fallback.
● In private testPrivate build // real cockpit captures
Four careers in the cockpit.
Real in-engine development captures show a Fighter, Tier-III Artillery, Corsair and Freighter with the live touch cockpit and selected drone. These are gameplay screenshots, not cinematic renders; interface and effects remain under review.

Go beyond the cockpit: approach new stations, cross asteroid fields and line up a gate. Several station shots use the game's Free View setting to clear the flight interface. These are current development captures; visuals may change.

Thirty combat regions form the progression ladder. At pilot level 30, Area 51 and Dyson join the public map; four special runtime regions remain deliberately off-chart.

Career selection // permanent
Choose the pilot. Learn the flight.
Every character wakes in The Nursery aboard the neutral Guokka trainer. Six flight lessons and two local contracts unlock the Ashen Sol gate. Every graduate can claim a one-time 12,000-Cinder commission at Aurelia Cylinder and buy one of two basic hulls for their chosen career. More hulls are sold in the local market with level gates; server authority for specialist ownership remains in development.

All 30 market-ready hulls are shown. Only the quarantined Heron I, Magpie I, and Moa I compatibility imports remain absent while their separated geometry is repaired. Ash, bone, burnt iron, and ember belong to hull surfaces; cold blue is reserved for shields, reactors, and energy cues.
