Description
It is a science fiction setting centered on Osiris, a planet orbiting the star Alpha Centauri, and contains many transhumanist themes.
In this setting, interstellar travel is a new technology and requires human space travelers to be transplanted into cyborg bodies. The first human explorers to reach Osiris found the remains of a civilization and species that had been destroyed by a grey goo incident. The Osirans were users of nanotechnology, and humans known as "Fog Witches" are able to manipulate the nanomachines that are still in the atmosphere. The campaign setting centers on exploration of the ancient Osiran culture, the conflict between the Earth government and independence-minded colonists, and a cultural rebellion in which human colonists adopt Osiran ways.
