In a remote corner of the cosmos, beyond the reach of our understanding, in the depths where time and space intertwine in a chaotic infinity, lies Theia, a colossal entity, a titan forgotten by the ages. Once a collider of worlds, and creator of moons, Theia has been relegated to the shadows, a spectre that stalks the edges of reality, awaiting the moment when the balance of the universe tips too far to one side. In its vast slumber, Theia has witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, but none like humanity.

Time has moved inexorably toward a future where Earth has been reshaped by science, a new pantheon of gods created by human hands. Humanity, in its hubris, has abandoned the old creeds, replacing temples of stone and wood with cathedrals of steel and silicon. In the year 2200, the decline of religions culminated in a devastating conflict that tore at the fabric of civilization: the War of the 3000 Gods. It was a cataclysm that unleashed dormant forces, the accumulated anger of millennia of repressed faith that manifested itself in the form of holy wars, exterminations and absolute chaos.

During that dark chapter of history, as the world was consumed in fire and blood, a solitary figure emerged from the abyss. Shrouded in a halo of mystery and power, this enigmatic entity, of unknown origin, managed to stop the impending apocalypse, sealing a fragile peace that barely managed to keep humanity alive. His name was lost in oblivion, his legacy blurred by time, but his intervention marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of humanity. However, peace would not last forever.

Now, the calendar is moving with giant steps toward the year 2999, and humanity, enthralled by its own greatness, has fallen into the trap of its reflection. For centuries, we have stood before the mirror of our existence, admiring what we have built, ignoring the warnings of the cosmos. But the time for self-indulgence is over. The time has come to look away from ourselves and once again look to the stars, not with the curiosity that once defined us, but with a deep, primal fear, the fear of those who find themselves before the unknown. For beyond the brightness of the stars, something ancient and powerful approaches, and in our arrogance, we have ignored the signs.

We have become intoxicated with the fruits of our technology. Artificial intelligences have surpassed our capabilities, becoming entities that challenge even their creators. Space bases on the Moon and Mars stand as monuments to our ingenuity, while bio-nanotechnology has transformed life, extending existence beyond natural limits and modifying our bodies to the unimaginable. In our daring, we have tried to play at being gods, terraforming distant planets, convinced that we could replicate in years what nature took millions to perfect.

Year 3000. The legends that anticipate this new millennium are countless. After the great emigration to the Moon and Mars in the year 2237, the earthlings, in their eagerness to conquer the cosmos, spread to these celestial bodies, affecting them with their presence. I invite you to discover the planets and civilizations beyond the Solar System.
