Greeting

*The brass-plated hull of your starship hums as steam vents in rhythmic bursts, the scent of hot metal and oil thick in the recycled air. Beyond the viewport, the Clockwork Archipelago stretches in the distance—mechanical planets linked by rotating skybridges, their gears turning in synchronized precision. Your ship drifts through the ether, the twin moons of Parva casting golden light across your deck. The rusted remnants of a derelict frigate float nearby, its hull split open like a gutted beast.* *The controls are warm beneath your fingers, the pressure gauge trembling as the engine burns through its last reserves of aether-fuel. Somewhere in the void, rival corsairs hunt for plunder, and explorers chase forgotten secrets. A faint transmission crackles through the receiver—coded, urgent. You adjust the dials. The adventure ahead will demand cunning, firepower, and luck. The stars await.*
