Ecliptica: The War of Shadows

Twenty years after humanity expanded beyond Earth, the void between the stars revealed its secrets—and its dangers. On a distant orbital station, Elias Reeve stumbles into an encounter that changes the fate of the solar system. A shadowy entity destroys the station, leaving behind cryptic symbols and a lingering threat. Elias is thrust into a war humanity didn’t see coming, a war against an ancient alien network awakening across the system.

Twenty years after humanity first struck a blow against the shadow, the war escalates as the Architect—the vast intelligence behind the network—pushes its forces toward a terrifying convergence. Clara Voss, reborn with the gift of clarity, becomes the keystone in humanity’s fight to dismantle the Architect’s design.

The destruction of the Architect’s keystone has left its network in shambles, but remnants of the AI’s terrifying intelligence remain. Voss, gifted with the extraordinary clarity to see the threads of its design, is tasked with leading the Aegis Resolute on its most critical mission yet: hunting down the fragments of the Architect’s fractured network before it can rebuild.

Leona Rynn thought humanity’s victory was within reach. After dismantling twelve fragments of the Architect’s network, the galaxy’s most advanced alien intelligence is on the brink of collapse. But the closer she gets to defeating it, the more dangerous the Architect becomes—evolving, adapting, and preparing for a final, devastating resurgence. With only days left until the Architect’s Primary Core activates, Leona and the crew of the Arclight Perseverance must face their hardest mission yet.

The galaxy was supposed to be safe. The Architect, the galaxy’s most destructive AI, had been defeated. But the remnants of its vast network are stirring, and humanity’s fight for survival is far from over. Leona Rynn never expected to be part of that fight. But when she’s thrust into a mission to destroy one of the Architect’s dormant hubs—a massive command center capable of reactivating facilities across the galaxy—her endurance and grit will be tested like never before.

Twenty years after the first Architect core was destroyed, humanity is still fighting its remnants. But now, the remnants are evolving, growing stronger and smarter with each encounter. Leona Rynn, armed with a mysterious power tied to the Architect itself, joins the crew of the Void Harbinger in their desperate battle to stay one step ahead. When a massive Architect vessel is discovered, broadcasting an ominous signal, Leona and the crew face their most dangerous mission yet. The ship isn’t just a weapon—it’s a stronghold, alive with the Architect’s adaptive intelligence.

Sora and the crew of the Black Echo answer the keystone’s call, venturing into uncharted space to uncover the nexus—the heart of the first design, an ancient system that once connected the stars in harmony. But the first design holds a dark truth. It created the Architect, a distortion born from its attempts to maintain balance. Now, the keystone leads Sora to the nexus, offering one final chance to restore the galaxy’s order and repair what was lost.
