A Cinematic Sci-Fi Campaign Premise<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>It is the Golden Age of the Third Imperium. Starships are able to travel faster than light, although communication still lags behind and information can only reach those speeds if starships carry it from sender to receiver. Frontiers are expanding and as civilization spreads through the galaxy, so does slow-burn intrigue.<\/p>\n

When a long-dormant, godlike alien intelligence known as the Naalir is found floating in a derelict ship, trapped in an Imperial research station, it pleads to the Travellers for help. A computer more advanced than anything the peoples of Charted Space have ever been able to create, Naalir warns the player characters of a disastrous future\u2026 unless the events leading up to the galactic cataclysm are averted.<\/p>\n

Whether the Travellers choose to aid or oppose Naalir, their decisions will likely send shockwaves through known space as\u00a0The Singularity Campaign<\/em> carries them from the opulent heart of the Imperium to its farthest reaches.<\/p>\n

They will voyage to legendary core worlds \u2013 such as the Imperial throneworld of Capital and the vast archive-world of Reference \u2013 and beyond, ultimately traversing the whole of Charted Space in pursuit of answers.<\/p>\n

Throughout the Travellers\u2019 quest, they will have to grapple with tough ethical questions as the morality of dealing with artificial intelligence and the nature of humanity need to be tackled on a scale grander than ever before.<\/p>\n
