In the parallel universe, the Alfar have coalesced into an intergalactic mega corporation known as Vertek. This formidable entity wields ultimate authority, effectively serving as a de-facto governing body within its market borders.

The unfolding narrative of Vertek's exploration promises to unravel the complexities of intergalactic relations and resource management in this parallel universe, revealing the intricate dynamics at play within the vast expanse of the cosmos.
