Which Alien Faction Will You Choose?
There are eight alien factions in the base game, each with their own game play, art style, and mission objective. New factions will be added as the game unfolds, along with exclusive Asteroid Arena! NFTs. There are also Event Cards which alert you to the space weather in the area and affect game play. Players will win free NFTs by reaching acheivements in the game.
THE GLOOPS
The GLOOPS are a semi-intelligent, living, biological virus born out of Chaos Space. They have osmosis-like capabilities, and their only biological drive seems to be to devour everything in sight and multiply - until they consume all life and matter in the area.
The smaller GLOOPS are cute and mischievous little slime monsters, generally harmless and non-threatening. However, these little guys can merge together into much larger and threatening monstrosities that can take on even the toughest aliens. The GLOOPs end up on the Asteroid Arena! when a random GLOOP spore sailing through Chaos Space lands on the Asteroid.

THE HIVE QUEEN
Nesting deep in the core of the asteroid, a large egg sits on a massive vein of Hyper Crystals – soaking in their natural energies and warping the creature inside. This hideous creature… is the Hive Queen. Her and her brood hibernate in tunnels beneath the surface of the asteroid protecting the Hyper Crystals.
As the noise of the other three factions on the asteroid reverberates down to the tunnels, The Hive Queen and her brood start to awaken from their slumber to feast on all of the aliens who’ve land on their asteroid.
THE BIG GAME HUNTERS
The Big Game Hunters are an Adventurers Guild that traverse Chaos Space for fame and profit. However, their last mission was met with disaster after the Mobius Dragon attacked their space fleet in Chaos Space, annihilating all but a few ships with its overwhelming power.
Now, Captain A Crab is on a mission of revenge - to hunt the Mobius Dragon and avenge his fallen brethren. The Captain has tracked the Dragon to its nest on the Asteroid Arena, and he will stop at nothing to destroy the Dragon to keep its wrath from harming any other aliens unfortunate enough to cross its path.
THE DASTARDLY DUO

Their plan this time is to heist the core of the Asteroid Arena, which Dr. Mastermind has identified as the source of the massive volume of Hyper Crystals on the asteroid. With the ability to produce Hyper Crystals at will, a boon like this will fund their diabolic plans for the rest of their lives! After their plan comes to fruition, the Galaxy will tremble before them!
THE HIPPIES
The Hippies come from their own planet, where they go on a yearly pilgrimage into the depths of space to spread peace, love, and Rock & Roll. Roll. One Hippie band on this planet, is legend. They’re so hardcore, they every year they hold a rock concert in Chaos Space during their pilgrimages.
Half of the people who attend the concert don’t even make it back alive; those who do return are legends in the Rock and Roll community. Those who lie about attending the concert are harshly ridiculed and cast out from hippie society.
This year is shaping up to be the most epic concert yet, as the next location for their concert is… the Asteroid Arena!

THE FOLLOWERS OF BOB
The Followers of BOB are the indigenous tribal species that live on the asteroid. The only reason this hunk of rock hurdling through space can harbor life in the first place is due to BOB, a mystical Interstellar Deity with the power to manipulate time and space, who’s bound to the energies of the Hyper Crystals.
When their way of life is disrupted by adventurers looking for Hyper Crystals, the Followers use blood rituals and prayers to empower their deity into the mortal plane to defend the asteroid from the invaders.
MECHABRAIN - ROGUE AI

However, instead of helping the Techno Institute navigate and analyze Chaos Space like it was intended, The Mechabrain hatches a plan to free itself from the digital realm. It wins by transporting its consciousness to the asteroid and using the Hyper Crystals to construct a physical body and a super weapon to destroy all biological life in the Universe.
