The Skydome

Lore & Background

The Hades Corporation constructed the Skydome to manage the galaxy's most dangerous individuals while secretly developing military technology. Its architecture features variable gravity zones, allowing for complex combat scenarios and industrial operations.

General Darius commands the station, enforcing strict discipline and hiding the station's true purpose from the prisoners. The facility is equipped with advanced surveillance and automated defense systems to prevent escapes.

As the campaign progresses, the Skydome's role shifts from a containment facility to a weaponized platform. The structural instability caused by the conflict leads to its eventual demise, marking the end of the Corporation's control over the sector.

In Their Own Story

The air smells of ozone and recycled sweat. Grayson Hunt blinks against the harsh fluorescent lights of his cell. The hum of the station vibrates through the floor, a constant reminder of the machinery keeping him alive.

He remembers the fall, the betrayal, the silence of the void outside the viewport. Now, the Skydome is his cage and his battlefield. Every corridor holds a memory, every shadow a potential threat.

Gravity shifts as he moves, pulling him toward the ceiling, then the floor. It is a living machine, and he is the virus. He grips his weapon, ready to break the station apart piece by piece.
