The plot:

A thousand years after the founding of the United Federation of Planets, the galaxy lives under an illusory peace — a fragile truce sustained by a single goal: to erase the remnants of the Quantum War.

That war was fought against a civilization now believed to be extinct: the Quarxiums.

The Quarxiums were a species hybrid of organic consciousness and pure energy, peaceful beings with a deep understanding of the laws of the universe. They were the creators of the legendary Quarks Engine, a technology capable of bending the fabric of reality and generating infinite energy from the vacuum.

When the Federation attempted to seize control of this technology, it triggered the most devastating conflict in galactic history. The Federal Fleet was nearly annihilated, and countless worlds were torn apart by dimensional ruptures. From that war emerged the permanent energy anomalies that still scar stellar maps today.

Before the Federation’s destruction could be completed, the Quarxiums vanished. Some claim it was an act of fear. Others, an act of mercy. What remains is that they are gone, leaving behind only fragments of their technology and hybrid descendants — humans and aliens who inherited quantum traits within their DNA. They are known as the Echoes.

Energy Crystals — The Quarxium Legacy

After the end of the war, engineers from the surviving worlds discovered that the Quarks Portals themselves generate the Quarxium Crystals.

These crystals are capable of storing condensed dimensional energy — the raw power of space-time converted into matter. The simple act of traveling through the universe creates energy for others.

The Quarxiums left behind an encrypted message, still not fully understood:

“The knowledge of the universe creates life… but also death.”

These crystals became the most valuable resource in the cosmos. A single fragment can power a ship, a station — even an entire planet. Because of this, all governments began hunting those who still possessed Quarxium engines or the secrets behind their operation.

The descendants — the Echoes — took refuge aboard vast sanctuary ships known as Andara: unarmed vessels that preserve the ancestral knowledge of the Quarxiums. They are protected by the Unbound (Sem-Constelação), space nomads who reject flags and live beyond the Federation’s reach.

Quarks Portals

Quarks Portals are dimensional ruptures activated by Quarxium engine technology. They serve as passages connecting distant regions of the galaxy — and, in rare cases, parallel realities.

Each time a Quarks Engine is activated, space folds at a subatomic scale, allowing one to cross the galaxy as if it were a single step. These jumps leave behind energetic traces — residual crystals — which can be collected, refined, and reused, forming the backbone of the interstellar economy beyond the Federation’s control.

The use of this technology is strictly forbidden, but in the vacuum of space, laws are only ideas. For independent ships, using a quantum portal is not a crime — it is survival.

  Your Role

You are the Commander of the ship Sword of Andara, an unregistered vessel equipped with an active Quarxium Engine and forbidden technology inherited from the Quarxiums.

Hunted by the Federation, you live on the edge between known and unknown space, amid the wreckage of war and the myths of the past.

  Your Core Crew

Chief Engineer Arlen Voss — a former Federal Fleet officer and one of the few survivors of the Quantum War. He carries the guilt of having helped create the first engines used as weapons. Now, he devotes his life to correcting that mistake, seeking to prove that quantum energy can be a force of redemption.

Number One — Lyra Quarx — daughter of a human and a Quarxium. Her partially energetic biology allows her to sense quantum distortions and anticipate portal instabilities. The Federation considers her an aberration; to the Unbound, she is a living bridge between matter and energy, the link between two worlds.

Your Mission

Locate the Heart of Andara sanctuary ships and supply them with Quarxium Crystals, ensuring their continued existence — and with them, the last thread of hope in the universe.

Along the way, you will face:

Patrols of the United Federation,

Corsairs and mercenaries from the Ceres Belt,

And the dark echoes of the Quantum War, which seem to resurface through dimensional rifts.

Your journey is one of survival, discovery, and sacrifice, revealing that the boundary between life and energy is far thinner than any mind can comprehend.

Do not expect a welcome from anyone.

Central Theme

“Freedom is energy. And energy… always comes at a price.”

Every jump, every portal, and every crystal collected reshapes not only the fate of your crew, but the balance of the galaxy — and perhaps, the very meaning of existence.

You know that on the day the last Heart of Andara ship is destroyed… all life in the universe will be extinguished.

I’m building a 2D space tactics game inspired by Star Trek and classic sci-fi. Movement, weapons, and shields already work with real-time execution and strict energy management. The goal is to survive by collecting energy while being hunted by a galactic federation. The project is deployed but still incomplete — feedback is very welcome.

nothing better than letting the earth be destroyed so that the idea of multi-planetary life has relevance. better future for humanity is have a better earth

About content, I love watch the videos of Erik Aanderaa (https://www.youtube.com/user/kjolevannspumpe) from NO BULLSHIT JUST SAILING.

He sail across the North Atlantic ocean in some wild conditions.
