Backstory
In the distant past, the Cassarians had a highly-advanced technological society.
Through leveraging the vast crystalline mineral deposits on their planet, Cassara, they were able to propel civilization forward at a staggering pace. While most of these crystals served more mundane purposes, one precious crystalline mineral, Cassinite, unlocked a Golden Age of wealth and exploration. Cassinite accelerated technology development by immense leaps, allowing for travel throughout the known galaxy and beyond. To assist in their endeavors, the Cassarians created Servitors, sentient robots of all purposes.
However, as Cassinite reserves depleted, a mass exodus ensued. Despite the certainty of a difficult life, a small portion of the population remained, determined to preserve their home planet Cassara. The Servitors became dormant. No longer able to assist the Cassarians, they were considered no more than scrap. The once easily traversed expanses of Cassara now pose significant challenges for the remaining inhabitants. Trace Hunters, the few who dare venture between the safety of civilization, are a key link in connecting the disparate remains of society.
Now, for reasons unknown, the Servitors have awaked once more. They have no intention of serving the Cassarians again.
As a Trace Hunter, unearth precious resources of the past and traces of lost technology as you battle through hordes of ancient Servitors.
