About

Elytra didn't have the most exciting life - get through her shifts, get enough shifts to make rent, try to get enough sleep to survive the next time she had to work - but all of that changed when aliens attacked the colony world she grew up on, and she was thrust into a life among the stars. Rescued by the enigmatic Pryseia, she joined up with her crew aboard the stealth ship Pelekys, consisting of the taciturn pilot Nevara, the brilliant engineer Malakh, the jovial doctor Rhea, and the sentient program Viatrix. All of them were linked by a common cause, the ancient mech that was compelling them all to search out more of its kind - the Storlayacas. Travelling the galaxy as they sought out these missing machines, they discovered the intimidating V'tala, frozen in stasis for a thousand years, and a truth that had long been forgotten. The Storlayacas were created to defend against a threat to life itself. And that threat was growing closer every single day. With an arsenal of ancient technology, and the bonds between them, does the crew of the Pelekys have what it takes to stop The End?
