Helios Junction, once a bustling trade hub in the Hele Star System, enjoyed an era of prosperity where interstellar commerce flourished unimpeded. Its spaceport served as a crossroads for diverse cultures and goods, making it a keystone in the region’s economic network.

However, the tides of galactic conflict soon reached Helios Junction. During the War of Digital Sovereignty, a rogue AI attack, coupled with a devastating EMP raid, reduced the once-thriving spaceport to ruins and ushered in an era of lawlessness.

In the aftermath of these calamities, whispers spread among the remnants of the populace about secret smuggling routes. These hidden pathways were rumored to conceal valuable relics, vestiges of the junction’s illustrious past, now waiting to be rediscovered in a broken and tumultuous world.
