USS Callisto

The Price of Progress

God is dead. And we have killed him.

Mission Description

When the USS Callisto is dispatched to investigate the disappearance of the USS Givens and a civilian research vessel, they uncover both ships dead in orbit, their crews having voluntarily abandoned them to join settlement on the planet below.

As the Callisto’s crew delves deeper, a strange telepathic presence exerts an inexplicable influence over all who encounter it, inspiring unwavering loyalty and reshaping lives.

With the fate of two crews and a pre-warp civilization at stake, the Callisto must confront the entity, navigate faith, free will, and the fragile balance of progress, and decide whether to leave behind a god who refuses to be forgotten.
