An unexpected black hole anomaly has thrown your mission, and your timeline, totally off-course. Now, only you and your trusty AI companion remain.

It's up to you to solve the mystery of the Parallaxus System and discover the fate of the missing science colony-- at whatever pace you like.

The Parallaxus System hosted scientific research settlements, on the far edge of the galaxy.
Their research pointed towards finding new and bizarre physical materials with mindblowing unique properties-- all found across the five planets of this particular system.
Now, with the colony mysteriously vanished and their messages suddenly disrupted, it is up to you to explore the five main planets and their moons to learn what happened.

With a supermassive black hole suddenly appearing right at the edge of the system, time dilation has thrown a wrench into your mission plans. Just a few moments in Parallaxus means millions of years have passed in your home system...So it's fair to say, your long-extinct company isn't too worried about you coming back.
But look on the bright side! That means nobody to tell you what to do! Build a new, better multiplanetary society, in your own image! Populate it with robots! Change entire climates to your preference! Live in a cave, smacking rocks together and making grunting noises!

The five planets of Parallaxus each host one of the rare alien materials at the heart of the mystery, and each has wild alien landscapes and features. With all the time in the Universe to play around in your own stellar sandbox, you can explore and build settlements all across the main planets and several moons of the system. 
Unlock new materials and construction items by collecting data from old settlements and analyzing items and landmarks, and then build your dream home under the colorful rings of Prismata. Or maybe an armored bunker, so you can shelter in comfort from the diamond-rain of Lunessa.

Or, if you aren't content to settle down in your new home, learn the secrets that the vanished research colony did, and follow the trail they left behind to build the same devices. 
Leverage the far-out properties of the planets and moons of Parallaxus to create specialized factories, and optimize their output to help advance your research and investigation.
Unlock the secrets of the five exotic materials, and what physics-bending properties they hold, and combine them to make advanced technologies that lead you to the ultimate answer-- where is everybody?
