It has been generations since humanity discovered the Signal and the mega-structures in orbit around Tau Ceti. They built the Generation Fleet, sending their best and brightest on the long voyage to the distant star. When their descendents arrived they discovered the impossible, thousands of artificial satellites and vast Habitats spread across the system. But the mysterious intelligences who built them were missing and the Earth had long ago fallen silent. So they spread out across the system, populating the Arrays and the Habitats. Seeking places to call home and an answer to the mysteries of Tau Ceti.
This is the Dyson Eclipse – a developing space opera setting revealed one story at a time through a series of interconnected games, adventures and stories.
