Welcome to Tranquility Base
No one was ever really sure what happened that day when the lifesaving respirators did not make it to DZ: 23N, but the collateral damage would be ‘dealt with’. Millions would die in the ambush as the hunter drones make quick work of the gruesome culling.
The chain of events to follow intersects the lives of the inhabitants of a distant planet comprised of interconnected Platforms. This entire surface is covered by dust and smog from the ever present and powerful dilithium crystals mined by the slave population here. These slaves of the Collective have only 14 years before death or any hope of a return trip back to Tranquility Base. Journey with Kitteridge as he searches frantically for his kidnapped only daughter Rachel following the brutal murder of his wife.
