Kebris are an entirely lab-grown race developed by an ancient species. They were created to be unwaveringly loyal, yet mostly independent group of operatives for use in subterfuge. Placed in secret onto the planets of rival empires, Kebris set up bases to disseminate misinformation, conduct pertinent political assassinations, organise coups, and steal technologies. This made an empire gradually easier to defeat and absorb. One day, the ancients suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving the Kebris in disarray. Left without orders on scattered, hostile planets, populations had to fend for themselves. Some lost contact with the others, falling back to the iron age, while some colonies quickly asserted a power structure, with those last in close contact with the ancients becoming revered as leaders.

One such colony was entrenched in the invasion of Doulus, home to a tropical race at the time. Finding themselves suddenly without backup or resources when the ancients vanished, and quickly outnumbered, the invasion unit fell back to the oppressive shale hills of Doulus. There they expanded relatively undisturbed, cloaked by the area’s frequent rainstorms, and a vast active-camouflage shield encapsulating the base. Later becoming known as Osem, this colony now ekes out an existence among  dangerous fauna and impenetrable weathers, seeking  out a means to grab power from the race they parasitize.

A very work-in-progress visual novel, following Serow, a thief Kebris originating from Doulus, whose life is quickly changed when stealing a great weapon from a rival empire. The leading power of Ancient retainers on Osem swiftly learn of this, seeking to use it for the alleged greater good of the Kebris race.
