Once a centerpiece of the Red Sun Dominion’s extraction operations, the Desolated Expanse was once heralded for its bountiful mineral deposits and state-of-the-art facilities. Prefabricated shelters and engineered machinery underpinned the camp’s promise, making it a model of advanced industrial design in an unforgiving environment.

However, Dominion scientists neglected to account for the highly volatile interactions between the aggressive mining chemicals and Meristine’s native biosphere. This catastrophic oversight led to an unprecedented mutation within the local wildlife, giving rise to apex predators that swiftly overtook the camp.

In the wake of the ensuing chaos, the survivors were forced to flee, leaving the Desolated Expanse to its grim fate. Today, the horrors reported from this desolate site serve as a powerful warning, dissuading all but the most desperate explorers from venturing into its dangerous territory.
