"This is an automated distress signal from the ESS Odysseus, outer rim, Arati system.
This signal is directed to the last known location of the Starcruiser Halcyon, or any survivors of that ship.
We need your assistance.
Seven days ago, on star date 148, year 542, Arati Reckoning, the Machines returned, launching a massive surprise attack. All EOC defense systems dropped offline simultaneously as the enemy jumped into the system and bombed every major city in a perfectly coordinated strike.
With the defenses gone, cities destroyed, and our forces outnumbered, we had no choice but to flee.
The survivors have gathered, forming a small fleet.
But to fight back, we need the ESS Odysseus operational. Our only line of defense. Our only hope for survival.
If the signals we received are true, you know what it means to have your ship right there. To touch it, fly it, live inside it.
And you know what it means to lose it.
The fate of our ship hangs in the balance.
Survivors of the Starcruiser Halcyon, we call on you. Bring what resources you can. Help us rebuild. Join our crew.
Help us, true crew of the Halcyon. You are our only hope."
Welcome to follow Ellarion Tales, and our bold endeavor to bring the ESS Odysseus back to life as the permanent home of Odysseus - First Light and future adventures beyond. Our ship will be located in a distant land, Finland, at the edge of Europe, but we are determined to convince you that the experience will be worth the travel.
Odysseus – First Light is a Finnish-style larp for 104 players. The first runs of the story took place in 2019, followed by a remastered edition in 2024. Set in an original universe inspired by many well-known predecessors, Odysseus has earned wide recognition for its immersive scenography, advanced technology, and intricate clockwork design.
