Concept
In a darkened galaxy suddenly thrust into colorful light, worlds that had been long cut off now reach for each other for good or for ill, and a corruption long neglected grows in power.
Overview
Long ago, a corruption began to spread across the Chromatic Galaxy, the star systems were all cut off from one another, cast into black Voids by the God of Space in an attempt to quarantine and stop a quickly spreading Corruption. A century passed in the black, where the colors of the worlds/moons of the system and even the Aether around it were muted. Finally, 5-10 years ago the barrier keeping the stars apart shattered, and those systems clear of any Corruption reentered a galaxy of vibrant color. People from these systems rushed to venture across the stars and visit systems they hadn't had access to for a century. Unfortunately, they found systems which the Corruption had reached to still be trapped in the Void within Shards of space - portals through which these corrupted and voided systems can be accessed.
Brave heroes rose to venture into the corrupted systems to try and help the people still stuck within. Working with the people of these systems, the heroes managed to cleanse some of them of Corruption, and upon doing so the Shards they'd been trapped in also shattered, and those systems joined the others in the vibrant Chromatic Galaxy.
With so many systems still trapped and corrupted, the Shardrunner Society was founded - a guild of brave heroes and adventures who make the perilous journeys into the corrupted Shard-systems to aid those within and cleanse the corruption. Dedicated to not stop until every system is free, brought out of the black void and into the bright galaxy.
Your characters are would-be Shardrunners. You are rookies in the Society, and for the last several months you've taken on non-Shard missions to prove yourselves and earn your place ranked among the Shardrunners, to venture yourselves into those Shards and heal the galaxy.
If this next mission goes well, it will be the LAST one you need to become a true Shardrunner. Hop in your ships and get ready to fly toward adventure.
