Compendium of the Crux Monith
Excerpts
- "We all have creators. This truth is undeniable. Some call it the engine of evolution, others a [g]od. The choice each of us must make is whether or not to accept this truth.
- "As their worlds were poisoned, they learned to move with bodies that were not their own. They made themselves anew. Clad in shapes of metal, they survived by ceasing to exist. Thus they became as revenants, and their enemies were filled with terror."
- "They look to that which they once called home, scarred and broken. It stares back estranged. They turn then to the cosmos, making soothing noises to teach it who they are, but it will not learn. They feed it pieces of themselves so it can recognize them as friends; they remove the parts that do not smile back."
OS-I
- "Many died in the Cyberlands, hunting the secrets of our enemies. But their sacrifices were not in vain. The data they gathered still holds within information hubs scattered across the wastes. Collecting all of these precious data fragments is essential to unlocking the mysteries of the Praetorians."

OS-I: 1 1:1 — Precursors A distant galaxy. Hundreds of star systems stretch across the darkness like a giant tapestry, woven from the harsh light of unfamiliar and distant suns. One such system hosts a saurian-like species who would eventually build a sophisticated, starfaring civilization, spanning all of the twelve planets orbiting a binary star. They are precursors of the distant past. They are the Primeval.

21st Century
- The first off-Earth colony is established on the Moon. Shortly after however, extended exposure to Luna's low gravity and lack of atmosphere begins to cause detrimental health effects to many of the colonists. As a result, the outpost is eventually shuttered.
- An exoscience corporation known as Exodus is founded to solve the challenges of reshaping many of the Solar System's formerly inhospitable worlds into sustainable earthlike environments and to advance other vital technologies geared towards the colonization of the system.
- Exodus initiates a terraforming project on Mars in an effort to colonize the planet. The colony ship Red Eden is launched-laden with nanites-and spearheads the transformation of the desert world. For the next 200 years, humanity would remain confined to its cradle world Earth while the terraforming process finished.
