Before we came to the Forge, an alien culture also traveled to this galaxy and established settlements here. But they were not successful. They left behind ruined outposts and the dead hulks of their spacecraft. What became of the precursors in this perilous place? Is their fate to be our own?

Deep in the Forge, a precursor beacon has been activated. The mysterious signal has confounded translation. Why are you sworn to seek out the source of the signal? What other person or faction opposes you?

Over eons, a variety of civilizations rose and fell within the Forge. Some never achieved spaceflight, while others took their first tentative steps into the stars. All of them are long gone now, and crumbling ruins serve as silent memorials to those ancient lives.

A spacefaring empire once ruled the breadth of the Forge. They were a highly advanced civilization, and their planetside ruins and spacebound derelicts hold the ancient technologies and dangerous knowledge.

In the ice rings of a remote world, a precursor ship was discovered by salvagers. The vessel is miraculously well-preserved. A team entered the derelict, but something went wrong. Those back on the salvage ship heard horrible screams over the radio. Then, after several minutes of silence, a final message from the team's leader. "It's okay," she said. "It's better this way." Then, nothing. Why are you now sworn to discover their fate?
