Ceres

The solar system is devastated. The Earth is no more, reduced to a massive ring of debris. The cause of the Gate's malfunction is unknown. Built to bridge our world to the stars, it sent out a few colony ships before disaster struck. It is believed the Gate linked to a dying nova, flooding our system with gravitational waves that instantly destroyed Earth. Subsequently, the Gate connected to random stars, expelling ash, radiation, and alien life. The solar system began to evolve. Humanity and their machines survive in pockets of warring civilizations. Adventurers roam the frozen void, risking death against unknown perils; stories abound of mechanical monstrosities and aliens hunting ships. Whether these are genuine threats or mere fantasies is unclear in this shifting reality. In a realm where humans, monsters, and machine-deities battle for survival, the balance will break.
