Project Zenith

A distant industrial frontier where Mia rebuilds a civilization through factories and infrastructure.

Project Zenith takes place far in the future of Submine, on another inhabited world. Mia, the twenty-year-old leader of Zenith (organization), lands at a site of her choosing with a construction kit and the Zenith Construction System. Her mission is to establish industry capable of restoring civilization.

Arrival

Mia begins alone at the landing site. She does not inherit a working factory. Her first task is to secure power, locate Tserin, and establish the machines that will allow production to continue without her carrying every material by hand.

Industrial frontier

The world is continuous and traversable. Factories expand outward into specialist sites linked by conveyors, roads, freight vehicles, and railways. Materials must physically reach construction sites. Power and the permanent instability of Tserin place limits on how fast industry can grow.

Beyond the landing site

Industry existed on this world long before Zenith arrived, although its builders are not known. Another industrial force, A.R.C., appears after Mia's initial arrival and uses the dangerous mineral Shard-T for energy. APOGEE is a separate, heavily militarized organization within the setting.
