Boundless Torments

The dark of space is haunting, it’s vile, it’s maddening, it is the haven for the demons of the space age, for the carriers of Wurms, For the Will of Fatuma. In a time of interstellar space freighters rusted from centuries resting derelict in asteroid belts filthy with detritus, In a place where ravenous clans of mercenaries parading around as pirates or clowns fight for salvage and gig work for would be crime lords, this Volatile ‘Verse grows hungrier by the day, and with each passing cycle, it’s teeth sink deeper in. These teeth, These Boundless Torments, can there be someone strong enough to break free through The Gate of Infinite Stars? Or have they dug too deep for there to be any hope left?
