"We left it all behind. Old Earth and its doomed children. Titan, Io, the floating cities of Venus. Mars' cursed wastelands..." In the late 28th century, as the Solar System collapses, Earth’s corporate warlords launch thousands of starships in search of a new home, but the reality of deep space is far more horrifying than anyone could have imagined... Take command of your shipwrecked human crew, scavenge for resources, and prepare to fight for survival. Or choose to play as humanity's alien tormentors, a shadowy species armed with horrifying bioorganic weaponry. Hunt humanity from world to world as you build gateways into this universe from the next. In the world of Chaotic Era, energy is scarce. Both humans and aliens need to use their reserves strategically to power life support, build weapons and defences, and research new technology; carefully and quickly transferring energy between their units in real-time.
