Starbound: A Space Odyssey

As giant red tentacles burst out from the ground, the whole planet trembled. The tentacles appeared out of nowhere with no forewarning. The planet was caught unprepared by the sudden attack and it suffered tremendously.

Great red tentacles streamed about, crushing towering skyscrapers and flipping shuttles out of the sky. Earth, humanity's cradle, began to crumble and burn to ashes.

The citizens all lost hope when they witnessed with their eyes the towering building of the Terrene Protectorate split in half by a single thrust of a tentacle. The symbol of intergalactic peace was no more.

Every single being tried to escape the crumbling planet using their shuttles or spaceships, but the tentacles were merciless as they pulverized every single one of them.

By luck, a few spaceships were able to escape the tentacles' onslaught. One of those ships had the logo of the Terrene Protectorate.A few moments in the past, it was an organization that brought peace to the Universe and its races, but now is nothing more than just a symbol of a gone organization.

The destruction of Earth and the Terrene Protectorate was a presage of years of chaos that were about to come. With the organization that kept the peace between the races gone, wars and conflicts were bound to happen.

However, it is in times of desperation and hopelessness that some people will stand up, fight against the odds and arise from the chaos as the symbol of hope, they are the ones who would be known as heroes.
