Every space adventure starts somewhere. Your first steps into the stars will take place on Tau Station.
The game’s starting location and namesake, Tau Station, is the capital of the Consortium and one of the safest places in the galaxy. The Catastrophe destroyed many of humanity’s space stations and left the rest in various states of collapse. Tau was one of the rare exceptions, surviving with most of its critical systems intact despite the extensive physical damage that left much of the station in ruins. While many of their Sol System neighbors would spend years struggling back to stability, survivors on Tau Station climbed out of their pit much faster.
