Story

300 Years Ago

The Tower was discovered during maritime exploration. Early human expeditions vanished without a trace, cementing its reputation as a place of mystery, danger, and legend.

50 Years Ago

With advances in AI, autonomous robots were deployed into the Tower to explore its depths. However, all attempts failed. Traditional wireless communication was disrupted inside the Tower, and no meaningful data was ever recovered, leaving its interior a complete unknown.

Present Day

Advancements in neutrino communication enabled the development of the Akasha System, allowing humans to remotely pilot "S.S.Frames" into the Tower. These expeditions have uncovered extraordinary resources: plants that extend human lifespan, and vast, untapped energy sources. In response, the Tower Delver Organization was founded to manage exploration and extract these valuable discoveries.
