01 // Overview

The World
Is A
Contract

Tau Ceti IV. A dead colony. Three megacorporations tearing the ruins apart for relics, data, and blood. You are a Runner — a freelance operative dropped into the conflict with nothing but your loadout and your nerve.

This is extraction PvPvE. Every mission is a gamble. Descend, secure objectives, eliminate threats — organic and synthetic — and extract alive. Your loot stays only if you make it out. Die, and you lose everything you carried in.

Marathon is not a power fantasy. It is a pressure test. Precision over chaos. Calculated risk over reckless aggression. The colony doesn't forgive the unprepared.

Three Rules
Of Engagement

DIRECTIVE // 001
[◎]
Extraction
Or Nothing

Gear is impermanent. Intel is currency. Every drop into the colony is a calculated wager — haul out with your loot or lose it all. There is no partial credit. You extract with your full inventory, or the colony claims it.

DIRECTIVE // 002
[◈]
Three-Way
Threat Matrix

Rival Runners. Corporate enforcers. Rogue Synthetics. Every zone is contested on three fronts simultaneously. Adapting to mixed-threat environments is not optional — it is the prerequisite for survival in the ruins.

DIRECTIVE // 003
[⬡]
Identity
Protocol

Each Runner class carries a distinct tactical identity — unique traversal, weaponry profiles, and passive systems. Build your operative for the mission. Specialization survives. Generalism does not.

03 // Tactical Environment

The Colony
Is The
Weapon

Tau Ceti IV's structures are contested terrain. Vantage points become chokepoints. Safe corridors become kill boxes the moment a rival squad flanks your route. Know the map. Control the exits. Deny them to everyone else.
