There is no other place in the Universe like the Broken Planet. Located 25 light years far from Earth, it is the only planet which core naturally generates the powerful energy called Aleph. Far from being a blessing to the local civilization, the struggle for the Aleph devastated the planet and started their decline. Today, human invaders fight amongst themselves for the Aleph. Whoever controls it, will conquer the known Universe.

Harec and his Raiders hide in one of the thousand fragments of the Broken Planet orbiting around it. From there, the Raiders plan their raids against the human invaders and rest between missions. The perfect hideout as long as the enemy does not find it...
An old chapel devoted to legendary Shamash offers shelter and a command center to the Raiders. From inside, they discuss strategies and details of next mission and sometimes settle accounts between them not always in the most civilized way...
Located deep in the desert, this small outpost is well out of the way of prying eyes and the perfect hide out for the operatives of the Hades Division. Various ships and transports come and go, usually with valuable cargo or prisoners but security is lax and vulnerable to infiltration.
A valuable prisoner is being held by the forces of the Hades Division on a heavily guarded flying fortress. Any extraction attempt will be met with extreme prejudice with the prisoner quickly terminated. A crack team should be able to infiltrate without being seen, take down the guards and extract the target for retrieval without too much commotion
The ship’s top deck makes an excellent extraction point for the team but no one saw the Wardog ambush coming. Instead of escaping, the Raiders see an opportunity to destroy both ships in one move. All they need to do is blast their own path down to the engine room and overload the Aleph engines, causing an explosion that will destroy both ships.
Once in the engine room, the Raiders have to overload the Aleph engine generators to cause a chain reaction that will blow the ship apart. Watch out for the elite troops there, they won’t think twice about pummelling your face to a bloody pulp. Engineers will try to reverse the damage your doing too, so make sure you take them out or it will all be for nothing.
The indigenous peoples of the broken planet renounced technology and all forms of war when their world was tragically destroyed a millennia ago. Instead they use the Aleph to heal and protect themselves preferring a simple life in the pursuit of harmony, peace and the welfare of others.
The Hades Division are a private army of ex military forces from Earth led by General Krauser. Krauser is a decorated war hero but see’s himself as a natural leader and wants nothing more but to rule over others.
The Fifth Council are augmented cybernetic humans originating from Saturn and its numerous moons who have embraced the amalgamation of human and technology in an effort to create the perfect hybrid.
The Umbra Wardogs are a loose coalition of martian mercenaries & bounty hunters led by General Marmalade, a ruthless criminal mastermind and dealer in narcotics of any kind. Marmalade believes that man hasn’t reached anywhere near his full potential yet
The indigenous peoples of the broken planet renounced technology and all forms of war when their world was tragically destroyed a millennia ago. Instead they use the Aleph to heal and protect themselves preferring a simple life in the pursuit of harmony, peace and the welfare of others.
Long ago at the pinnacle of their knowledge and technology they discovered Aleph, a powerful substance that could enable them to control the cosmos and attain a higher level of being, however due to their greed and lust for power they drilled to the planets core in an effort to retrieve the very source of the Aleph but instead shattered their home world. Realising their true path they banished those who would use this power for ill, little knowing that those banished peoples would sow the seeds to mankind’s origin. Now it is that seed that has returned to haunt them and potentially... destroy them.
The Hades Division are a private army of ex military forces from Earth led by General Krauser. Krauser is a decorated war hero but see’s himself as a natural leader and wants nothing more but to rule over others.
He has assembled the ultimate army of grizzled war veterans and talented special forces operatives who have skills and abilities that have allowed them to stand out as exceptional individual military fighters. He wins the trust and respect of his men with his charismatic persona and passionate speeches but inside he is a cold calculating megalomaniac intent on ultimate power through military force and represents perhaps the biggest threat to peace and stability in the universe.
The Fifth Council are augmented cybernetic humans originating from Saturn and its numerous moons who have embraced the amalgamation of human and technology in an effort to create the perfect hybrid.
Many Fifth Council members see this as a natural evolution of humankind and see no boundaries to the level of integration that can exist. The Fifth Council is looking to gain control over the Aleph using mind control to locate the so-called Protectors, High Priests who have knowledge of the original tech from the ancient time including Aleph fusion drives and weapons of tremendous power.
The Umbra Wardogs are a loose coalition of martian mercenaries & bounty hunters led by General Marmalade, a ruthless criminal mastermind and dealer in narcotics of any kind. Marmalade believes that man hasn’t reached anywhere near his full potential yet
and see’s substance abuse as a way to expand the mind and consciousness beyond what is possible. Marmalade see’s Aleph as the ultimate substance to change him from ordinary man to all powerful Demi God, destined to rule over others and woe betide anyone who should stand in his way. Charismatic and yet ruthless Marmalade cares little for his Wardogs and more about using the Aleph to his own ill gotten ends.
Harec guided his peaceful clan for many years until the humans arrived. They raided Harec’s village, exterminated every living soul, and left him for dead. Harec managed to crawl to a nearby ruined temple to die, but the power of the temple regenerated his body and awoke an inner strength buried deep within; a strength that would drive him to avenge his massacred people.
Harec has absolute control over his inner Aleph. At his command, the Aleph’s elemental particles recode his body into an ethereal flow that can fly and recompose itself physically wherever he wants. This way, Harec disappears before his enemies and re-appears anywhere nearby, even on walls and ceilings. This skill doesn’t make Harec invisible, but it enables him to await his enemies literally anywhere.
From the arsenal the humans took to the Broken Planet, Harec prefers the manual reloading sniper rifles. Harec uses the time between shots to infuse the bullets with Aleph, thus increasing their killing capacity tremendously. The Aleph trace left by the shots gives away the shooter’s positions, so Harec must change positions frequently if he doesn’t want to be located.
Glib, wild, undisciplined and irreverent. Lycus Dion is a fury unleashed and you don’t want that on the other team. The origins of this Raider are shrouded in mistery. Rumor is that he’s been seen in many wars over the centuries but that doesn’t seem possible, unless… Lycus Dion is inmortal?
Lycus prefers short distances in order to get up close and enjoy his victims’ face of terror. He is a melee fighter by nature, resistant and ferocious. He has a variable-angle kinetic shield against enemy fire, that is recharged by running.
Lycus uses short-range shotguns with devastating damage potential. The high dispersion makes the shotgun optimal over short distances because it does not require any real accuracy. However, the barrel is limited to few cartridges, so you have to constantly reload.
Alicia and her friends admired General Marmalade and enthusiastically embraced the addiction to Aleph plasma that he proclaimed. But one day it went too far and Alicia decided to leave the General. When she went back for her friends, she was acosted by a horde of Aleph fuelled subhuman abominations who got in her way. When it was all over, she realized she had killed what was left of her old comrades.
Alicia has superhuman agility. Her power allows her to perform incredible leaps and jumps, propelling herself from walls to great vantage points. She is able to gain considerable height by performing several jumps in a row, alowing her to access out of reach places. Once she is in the air, she can slow her fall by aiming her weapon, allowing her to spread chaos beneath her.
Alicia uses repeating shotguns. They have a severe lack of accuaracy but a high rate of fire. Shots have a wide dispersion too, making these a wonderful mid-range weapon that doesn't require much precision but can deliver devasting short burst damage.
