When the Shepherds first came to Earth, warning humanity of the looming threat known as the Krall, our world leaders thought they were just ghost stories. They weren’t.

Dark, colossal titans who left a trail of dead planets in their wake, the Krall were a galactic threat that had decimated countless planets before. Now, they were coming for Earth. Fortunately, the Shepherds offered salvation. 

The concept was simple. The Shepherds would ferry humanity to the Cyllo Cluster, a hidden “safe-harbor” galaxy inhabited by other rescued, Krall-fleeing civilizations. As long as humanity was willing to play by the rules, they could claim and settle a planet of their own — the planet of Kishar.

And so The Greatest Migration began.

In an instant, entire countries uprooted their lives and travelled across space and time to settle the new alien world. Most of civilization’s needs were met with the abundance of doctors, scientists, lawyers, engineers, tradespeople, and teachers who migrated. However, settling a new home world called for other skills that had long been absent in human society — explorers. It needed people were willing to venture out into the alien frontier and discover Kishar’s many mysteries. 

In true human nature, the call for adventurers, treasure hunters, explorers, and the like, was answered by private industrialization. Overnight, the private adventuring and expedition industry exploded and everyone from global corporations with limitless funds to small time freelancers rushed to capitalize on the opportunity. Soon, conquering the unknown was nothing more than market demand, taming the wilderness was a premium white glove service, and buried ancient treasure was  taxable income.
