Meridian and the Broken Branch
Humanity built its future on roads it never truly understood.
The branch - an ancient network hidden beneath the Solar System's trade lanes, jump corridors and navigation systems - once connected worlds across the dark. For centuries it slept beneath human expansion.
Now it is breaking apart.
Captain Julian Harrow and the crew of the exploration vessel ISS Meridian have already survived vanished routes, ghost convoys, fractured stations and the horrors lurking beyond the frontier. Yet the crisis spreading through the branch is no longer isolated to forgotten outposts and abandoned lanes. The roads themselves are beginning to choose sides.
Ancient custodians awaken to impose brutal quarantine. Lost ships return from dead corridors. Earth and Luna stand on the edge of catastrophic separation. Beyond the Dividing Line, the Dominion waits patiently for the moment humanity's fractured network finally collapses.
At the centre of it all lies the convergence - the wounded heart of the branch itself - where every broken road leads and every authority collides.
If the branch chooses wrongly, entire worlds could be cut off forever.
If it falls completely, the dark frontier will open.
And if Harrow's crew fail, humanity may lose not only its future... but the very roads that hold civilisation together.
Meridian and the Broken Branch is a retro-inspired space adventure filled with cosmic mystery, ancient systems, dangerous frontiers, and a crew forced to stand between humanity and the collapse of the stars themselves.
