On the ruined refinery world of Vask, a penal recon unit surveys the terrain while trying to retrieve data and find a way out after the mission collapses. Massive Alien entities -"Walkers"- reshape the land as they move, releasing smaller predators that hunt through the ruins and tunnels below.

The advance turns cautious as routes reveal themselves as migration paths, and every position begins to feel exposed to something far larger. Unstable ground, toxic rain, and collapsing structures force the unit into tighter spaces where the smaller organisms can reach them first. What begins as reconnaissance shifts when the pattern becomes clear and the unit realizes their movements are being used to study the creatures.

In a flooded refinery district on Nareth’s moon, an assault unit pushes toward Lock Seven to reopen a route for armored forces. The wounded are taken first as a spreading biomass seeps through surfaces and fluid pathways, absorbing bodies and continuing to move in fragments.

Every position turns unstable as heat, damage, and standing water draw more of it into the structures around them.

Routes collapse, visibility drops, and even cleared ground begins shifting underfoot as the battlefield changes shape.

What begins as a push to secure the lock turns into survival when the environment itself becomes the primary threat.

On a ruined refinery moon, a sapper unit tries to survive a compliance purge while escaping through collapsed tunnels with a rescued child. A signal meant to end the war turns soldiers against each other as predators rise from the ground to hunt what remains.

The unit fractures as control fails, forcing movement through sinking industrial zones where every step draws something from below. Cold, damage, and constant pursuit reduce the mission to staying alive long enough to move forward.

What begins as a final operation shifts into...
