The human species is finally starting to reach its full potential in AD 2600. Many rich and very different civilizations may be found on the hundreds of inhabited worlds that are dispersed around the cosmos. Through genetic engineering, sickness has been defeated and amazing spaceborn animals have been created, pushing evolution far beyond the bounds of nature. The riches gained by the industrialization of whole star systems fuels vast fleets of intelligent merchant starships. Additionally, the Confederation Navy maintains order across populated space. We are on the verge of a real golden era.
However, something has now gone horribly wrong. The most basic of human anxieties are unleashed on a primitive colony planet when an accidental meeting between a renegade criminal and an entirely alien monster occurs. Aeons ago, a species that no longer existed in the galaxy dubbed it "The Reality Dysfunction." Ever since the dawn of time, it has stalked us like a nightmare.
