Before the distress call is answered, the assets are created.

In this prelude episode, we step behind the scenes to build the characters which will shape Darkstar: The Light We Trust.

We talk through:

• Character concepts

• Connections between the crew

• Personal stakes and motivations

• How the Mothership system frames character creation

• The tone and themes of the story to come
