Dark Planet

In the future, humanity's ambitions stretch to the stars, spearheaded by the ESS Destiny, an advanced exploration starship powered by cutting-edge tachyon technology and a revolutionary dark matter core. Captained by the intrepid John Burke, the Destiny embarks on a high-stakes mission to chart uncharted territories and uncover resources that could redefine humanity's future. Yet, the mission is burdened with corporate greed and an ever-dwindling supply of dark matter fuel.

Their journey takes a dire turn when they discover an enigmatic world on the edge of known space-a planet emitting dark matter-like energy signatures. Dubbed "Dark Planet," it harbors a hostile, mysterious environment and secrets that could alter the understanding of the universe-or doom it entirely. As tensions escalate between survival, discovery, and corporate greed, the crew must navigate moral dilemmas, personal sacrifices, and deadly unknowns.

In Dark Planet, alliances are tested, loyalties are strained, and the future hangs on the edge of the cosmos, where darkness is not only a fuel but a force that could consume them all.
