ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
The chatter on the netwürk has frantically cryptic, but one thing is certain: an augmentable destabilizer, a relic that is thought to be needed for the Gate of Infinite Stars, is believed to be on the small, scientific exploration ship, the Conundrum. A ship that you just happened to be near in space. Locate and retrieve the relic and you may be able to secure your Legion a way out of this 'verse!

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Most of humanity has either been infected by parasitic würms, turning them into The Grimm, or is already dead. Those who’ve survived band together in Legions. In Grimm Expanse players take on the role of Legionnaires. Maybe they want to fight back against The Grimm, maybe they just want to scavenge to survive another day, or perhaps they believe the rumors that a Gate of Infinite Stars is being constructed and their Legion may just escape this hellish ‘verse yet!
