Thian Omnach | Qilarians' Legacy : Explorer era
Prologue
In the vastness of space, nestled in the Andromeda galaxy, lies the colossal planet Gigaterra Prime, known as Giga or G-1. This monstrous world, 185,000 times the size of Imperial Earth, has always been shrouded in mystery and potential. Shielded by a mysterious energy barrier and natural atmospheric quirks, Giga stayed a well-kept secret until recent breakthroughs by human explorers.
Years ago, a gang of space pirates stumbled upon Giga. Their attempts to breach its formidable energy barrier failed, But the discovery of a temporary gap that allowed exploratory drones, called "Pathfinders," to break through.
These Pathfinders sent back data revealing Giga's breathable atmosphere, stable climate, and abundance of unique minerals, flora, and wildlife. Massive trees with glowing leaves lit up the night, and rivers rich in unknown minerals flowed through lush valleys. Exotic creatures roamed freely.
The sale of this information triggered a wild era of exploration, like a cosmic gold rush. Settlers, mercenaries, and corporations scrambled to stake their claim on the untamed new world. Chaos ruled as rival factions battled for territory, and whispers of powerful artifacts led to fierce skirmishes. Amid this turmoil, ancient Qilarian ruins surfaced, revealing relics of immense power and wisdom. Zhen Wu Long, a seasoned mercenary with a knack for leadership, saw the need for order. Under his guidance, the newly formed Explorer Committee stepped in to regulate the chaos, ensuring fair access to Giga's resources. The Committee aimed to harness the planet's potential while maintaining peace between organisations while giving hope to settlers, guiding humanity's expansion into this new frontier.
Tihan Omnach, a thirty-year-old citizen of Haven from the first settlers wave and low-level corporate worker who had resigned to start a new life as a VR player, lived a monotonous existence. Spending his days immersed in virtual adventures that felt increasingly hollow, Tihan yearned for something real. One day, while idly scrolling through news feeds, he stumbled upon an announcement about the Explorer Committee’s establishment and recruitment.
His heart raced as he read the details. Here was a real chance for change, a tangible escape from the digital confines of his four wall and money problems. Drawn by the promise of adventure and the chance to uncover the mysteries of Giga, Tihan seized the opportunity without hesitation.
