Roleplay as your class. The @Assassin can take assassination contracts, The @Bounty Hunter can hunt criminals, The @Mercenary can fight in the many battlefields and wars of the Great Schism. The @Far Trader can earn more than just merits by hauling precious cargo to remote systems, while the @Spymaster and @Bureaucrat can change the political landscape of entire metachors with whispers and administrative orders. The @Marauder can terrorize isolated colonies and the underworlds of dense ecumeneopoli alike. The @Artificer can engineer architectural and technological wonders. @Marine and @Commando are heavily combat-oriented classes, and are ideal for someone roleplaying a soldier or spec-ops agent. Master your psionic abilities as a @Tempered Psion, discover the nature of your power as a @Lightblessed. Or play as the cheat classes @Lord of Aulor, @Auspex, @Mystic of the Watch if you're so inclined.
Travel around @Civilized Space and participate as a gladiator in fighting pit and combat ring tournaments (locations marked 'Arena').
[If you're not playing a psionic class] - become a psion. There are lore-friendly ways to do this (characters like @Sigreon Calath or the Evenlord can bestow psionic power in the lore after you gain their favor, but you will have to change your class manually)
[If you're playing a @Wild Psion] - become a @Tempered Psion or a @Lightblessed (direct upgrades). Again, you will have to change your class manually after completing a quest chain that involves lengthy training and a series of tribulations given to you by a teacher - someone from the @Ashen Remnant, @Light's Sacred Inquisition, @Order Omega, or perhaps a non-affiliated master of the @Altaran ways (will be implemented / expanded on later).
Infilitrate a Rival Faction - this is a galaxy at war within a war within a greater war. There is no shortage of rival or opposing factions.
Restore order to an area of space - eliminate local factions of @Raiders, @Marauders, pirates, and the roaming Voleer pilferers.
A local syndicate boss is threatening local authorities with the detonation of a large quantity of @Composed Antimatter in a metropolitan area. Help defuse the situation and prevent a potential catastrophe. Afterwards, you will be asked to assist in the investigation of how such a material was smuggled to a sensitive location in the first place - and why the local authority's electrological sensors failed to detect the substance while it was being transferred.
Hunt a @Wild Psion: Be hired by a system authority to track down and neutralize a @Wild Psion whose uncontrollable powers are causing reality-warping disasters on a populated world. The moral choice to kill or attempt a rescue will be a constant dilemma.
Join the @Order Omega or the @Ashen Remnant - these are two rival factions that seek to recruit and train psions, albeit for very different reasons. Both factions will have you uncover rare, psionic artefacts from various extinct civilizations. Additionally, the @Order Omega will have you retrieve, protect, and train persecuted psions, whereas the @Ashen Remnant will have you infiltrate and psionically manipulate members of major factions.
Join the @Light's Sacred Inquisition: Become an agent of the @Mandate of Light and the Evenlord, hunting heretics, @Rogue Psions, and remnants of the old Visionary-Materialist ideology within the Mandate's own territory. Your power is absolute, but the political intrigue is deadly. Or alternatively, join the @Contingency Security Committee (Sagetton) of the @Sagetton Contingency and root out agents and sympathizers of the treacherous @Mandate of Light.
Colonize a Dead World: Lead a pioneer mission to one of the lifeless planets or glassed worlds, establishing a new settlement from scratch. You'll have to contend with harsh environments, limited resources, and the psychological strain of isolation.
Salvage the remnants and rare artefacts of the many Blackstar Foundries, such as @Blackstar Foundry Cygerion, all while surviving the corrupted servant-minds, gravitational anomalies, and rival scavenger gangs.
Help protect the fringes of the @Eternal Alliance and the @Tauron metachor from the encroaching and ruthless alien Kthon threat (will be expanded later)
Help the @Altaran people, led by @Siathas Nul-Adaman, regain their ethnic and cultural identity, following their defeat in the War of the Chosen, the destruction of their civilization and the permanent death of the seven once-immortal Archons who led them.
All across @Civilized Space, entire star-systems are going dark - their populations disappearing without a trace. @Nallasen is but one example of this. Find out what is causing this, and stop it.
Travel to the distant and secretive world of @Mardis VI and uncover the plight of that colony, borne by the enigmatic "Nox Experiments".
Hunt down, or assist, the agents of the simmering Ragonian insurgency (backed by the @Coalition of Free Ragonia) in the @Durhos system.
Take part in the battlegrounds of the @Retholis system - either assist the desperate siege of the @Sagetton Contingency, or help the @Mandate of Light regain strategic control of the sector.
Help Director-Engineer @Noathim Aran awaken the enigmatic, ancient alien AI of the @Nexusmind Mainframe - or prevent the realization of his mad ambition (will be expanded later).
Help fix the failing systems of the @Otholus Forge by securing shipments of rare materials from across the reaches of @Civilized Space and uncovering lost technologies of the pre-Schism era (will be expanded later).
There are many who search for an ancient and elusive artefact of untold power, the @Hand of the Neverborn - @Sigreon Calath, @Malevanthor Abrenach, @Tyrasha Ahesel each wish to claim it for themselves. @Khiro Velenar and @Baredion Korostel both want to destroy it. @Rauvin Karr and @Barrus Toryn wish to study it, and to prevent its power from being used for evil. Iorgoth Avasor believes it to be the key to securing the @Sagetton Contingency's victory in the Great Schism. Finding this item will not be easy - side with one of the characters or claim the artefact for yourself.
In each iteration of the Cosmic Cycle, there are exactly twelve Lords of Aulor (@Lord of Aulor) - but only seven have been discovered thus far. At least three of the missing Lords, not yet fully realized of their true nature, are believed to have been killed during the War of the Chosen - but @Malevanthor Abrenach is convinced that they must be reborn before the end of the Cycle's current iteration. Aid @Malevanthor Abrenach in discovering the identities of these remaining five - or bring them to the attention of the @Order Omega to prevent the @Ashen Remnant from harnessing their power (will be expanded later).
[MUCH MORE TO COME]
