In the vast expanse of the galaxy, three dominant powers are locked in a battle for control of a turbulent frontier, where each faction has its own ambition, secrets, and hidden motives. The fate of humanity and the galaxy itself hangs in the balance. Your choices will determine the destiny of this new world—will you forge alliances, betray your enemies, or stand alone in a war that could reshape the stars?
The Humarai are humanity’s first step into the cosmos, a resilient and adaptive species that has carved a place for itself among the stars. Emerging from the ashes of Earth's past, the Humarai are the embodiment of humanity's potential—resourceful, determined, and brimming with untapped potential. But the galaxy is no safe haven. Humanity’s future lies on the edge of a blade, where every decision could change the course of history.
The Humarai are represented in StarNode as the vanguard of human civilization—fighting to carve out a place in a galaxy teeming with conflict. Each Humarai character card is unique, embodying the diversity, strengths, and possibilities of the human race in its many forms. The initial Humarai v.1 collection serves as the inaugural step into the greater galaxy, featuring our first set of character game cards.
Humanity is just the beginning. As StarNode grows, new species and factions will emerge, each bringing their own unique powers, challenges, and storylines to the galaxy. Future species collections will expand the possibilities for gameplay and narrative:
The Lupix are a hyper-industrial species that has conquered countless worlds in their quest for dominance. Their technology is unmatched, their resources limitless, but their path is one of ruthless expansion. After devastating numerous civilizations, they turn their attention to humanity—not with open war, but with an offer of partnership.
They promise to share their advanced technologies and offer immense power in exchange for humanity’s support in their ongoing war against the ancient Ylyndi. But is their offer one of true alliance—or will it lead to humanity’s subjugation under their iron fist? Will you trust them, or expose the devastating price of such an alliance?
The Ylyndi are an ancient and wise civilization, guardians of the galaxy’s cultural and ecological heritage. While their technology rivals that of the Lupix, they have always valued preservation over conquest. Now, with the Lupix threatening their sacred worlds, the Ylyndi are pushed to the brink of war.
They turn to humanity as a potential ally to help protect the balance of the galaxy. To side with the Ylyndi is to stand against a galaxy-devouring war machine—but it comes at a great cost. Are you ready to defend peace at the risk of being drawn into a war that could consume everything?
Once a quiet, neutral race, the Sagan are now a mysterious force in the galaxy. Their massive drone fleets, once scattered across the edges of known space, have converged on the jungle world of Kairos—a place whose name speaks of a pivotal moment in time.
The Sagan have unearthed an artifact of unimaginable power, one whose true purpose is shrouded in mystery. With the galaxy on the brink of war, the Sagan’s sudden militarization raises countless questions. What are they planning? Why have they abandoned their neutrality? And what could the artifact mean for the galaxy's future?
These species will offer fresh challenges, new gameplay mechanics, and untold opportunities for players to explore. Will you ally with them, or stand against their forces?
As the first human colonies take root in this chaotic galaxy, they must navigate a maze of political intrigue, alliances, and betrayals. Every decision carries immense consequences:
Will you align with the Lupix, gaining unmatched protection and technology—but risking complicity in their destructive ambitions?
Will you fight alongside the Ylyndi to preserve the balance of the galaxy—though you’ll face the wrath of the relentless Lupix?
Or will you remain neutral, steering clear of the conflict—at the risk of being manipulated by forces far beyond your control?
But looming over all of this is the Sagan and their mysterious artifact. What secrets does Kairos hold? What will happen if the artifact is activated? And how will your choices change the course of history?
The choices are yours. Will you change the fate of the galaxy, or will you become a pawn in the game of cosmic powers? In StarNode, every decision, every alliance, and every battle shapes the future.
Are you ready to make your mark on the galaxy?
