The Story.

OVERVIEW

Set on a post-apocalyptic Neptune, centuries after a race of spacefaring beings colonised the planet, little remains of what was once a thriving civilisation.

Neptune was shattered by war, territorial and political disputes spiralled into total conflict. As chaos spread, all communication with the outside universe was severed. Isolated and divided, a once highly advanced society collapsed into warring factions, locked in a brutal struggle for dominance and survival.

In a desperate attempt to regain control, the original governing council used the planet’s last remaining resources to engineer the Super Massive Flying Apes colossal bionic and robotic enforcers designed to police the chaos. Twenty-three were created. Some were fully artificial beings, others were bio-mechanical hybrids, and a few were piloted machines. Designed as guardians, they were quickly seized by warlords and repurposed into tools of war and destruction.

Years later, most of these titans have been destroyed, lost, or faded into legend. Only fifteen are known some broken, some hidden, lying dormant across the ruined world, some seized by the factions.Amid the wreckage, our lone protagonist, an Rx33 ranger from the resistance faction, begins a desperate search for Enos-2, the last known half-manned flying ape. The hope: to use Enos-2 to escape the planet’s constraints and return to the home world, carrying with them the truth of what happened. But with the opposing factions set on war, the race is on before all is lost.

FACTION ORIGINS & DIVISION

After centuries of exploration, innovation, and scientific advancement, Neptune was chosen for the next great colony. Ea

rly surveys declared the planet stable, habitable, and rich in untapped resources an ideal new beginning. That promise was a lie.

Later revelations exposed the research as deliberately manipulated. Influential scientists and political leaders falsified findings to satisfy a frustrated population and strengthen their standing within the ruling council.For a time, the colony thrived. Cities expanded, industries flourished, and hope endured. But as the years passed, reality caught up. Resources were far more limited than predicted, environmental conditions deteriorated, and expansion slowed. Public trust eroded, and arguments over Neptune’s future grew increasingly bitter.

What began as ideological disagreement hardened into deep division. The population fractured into rival factions, each driven by a radically different vision of survival. Conflict escalated into open warfare, prompting the council to deploy the supermassive flying apes to restore order.Instead, they became weapons of unprecedented destruction fueling the war they were meant to end.

Faction One

A suppressive regime also know as “The Overwatch” 

Faction One is led by remnants of the original governing council and their loyal enforcers. They claim to preserve the colony, but in practice they instil doubt and rule through control. To them, Neptune must be made to work—no matter the human cost.They believe discipline and sacrifice justify extreme measures. Any attempt to abandon the planet is treated as treason, threatening both their authority and the narrative that the colony was never a mistake. Publicly, Faction One speaks of peace, justice, and stability; privately, they suppress rebellion and eliminate challengers. As the largest and most resource-rich faction, they maintain dominance through fear, aggression, and superior numbers.

Represents: Faction One represents the most negative side of our character. The times we feel we don’t feel we are enough. We are unable, so have willingness to settle, doubt to push on, and accept complacency. The self-destructive, deprivation side we can all have.

Faction Two

The freedom fighters know as RX33 

Faction Two rejects the colony and the authority of Faction One entirely. They believe the population was deceived and sacrificed through manipulated research and false promises. To them, Neptune is not a home—it is a slow-death prison enforced by a corrupt regime.Unwilling to accept enforced obedience, the distance fighters aka RX33 fight to escape. They are smart, highly organised, and tactically brilliant, specialising in raids and strategic strikes against the Over watch . Their goal is not to rule Neptune, but to break free—seizing whatever flying apes remain and using the wreckage of the colony to launch themselves toward new worlds. They accept collateral damage as inevitable, believing freedom is worth any cost. To the overwatch , they are terrorists; to their followers, they are the last chance at freedom.

Represents: RX33 stands for creating freedom. Pushing on and being positive and having confidence to better one’s self. Looking up to the stars to be the best version of yourself. 

Not settling and reaching for our dreams.

Faction Three

The unpredictable, neutral outliers know as the “The Drift”

Faction Three vanished into the wilderness early in the conflict, choosing secrecy over allegiance. Officially neutral, they reject both the Regime and the Resistance, believing political ideology led to the colony’s collapse.They avoid direct confrontation but display overwhelming force when threatened. Not solely interested in politics like the other factions, they focus on mining, engineering and other areas of the planet, making them easily distracted. This lack of focus has weakened their position. Rumoured to possess three functioning manned flying apes and restoring a fourth powerful unit known only as X, they represent a silent, unpredictable threat. If X is successfully restored, they would gain  superiority over both rival factions. Though they claim no political agenda, their growing power ensures they cannot remain uninvolved. As war escalates, both Faction One and Faction Two seek fragile alliances to tip the balance.

Represents: The Drift - embodies our instinctive, often scattered nature. They are the epitome of boundless energy and curiosity, unsure where to focus at times, yet capable of extraordinary achievement when that focus is harnessed. Unpredictable, obsessive, and restless, they hold immense potential waiting to be realised.
