Wanderers of the Solar Wind
They're not looking for glory. They're just trying to survive. In a future where Earth has drowned beneath the waves and Venus has become a fortress in the clouds, space is no longer a realm for heroes-it's an arena for those cast aside. Where the law ends, the fight for survival begins. And where the connection to home is severed, a new family is born. This is a story about those who don't fly toward the stars, but away from them-from the past, from the system, from the roles forced upon them. About those who find each other in the shadows of forgotten stations, on the ice of distant moons, aboard a battered shuttle that should've been scrapped long ago, yet somehow still flies. It's a story of loyalty, brotherhood, and friendship. Of choices that aren't debated-they're made. A message from the future, written in blood, platinum, and rust. This is space as it truly is: harsh, beautiful, merciless. Where friends are family. And a cosmonaut's word is stronger than diamond. Are you ready to launch? Buckle up. The Karakut is warming its engines. Let's go.
