First Contact

A silent blue world fills your viewscreen—Earth, untouched, unaware, and finally within your grasp. FIRST CONTACT drops you into the mind of an alien arrival at the edge of humanity’s home system, commanding a fleet that has crossed the dark between stars. You are not locked into one species, one body, or one ideology: be an emperor with a throne of living metal, a hive-swarm that thinks in tides, a diplomat-caste bred for lies and miracles, an exile seeking a second beginning, or something far stranger. Earth is loud with signals, fragile politics, and ancient myths—yet it has no idea what just slipped into its sky. Your first choices set the tone: cloak and observe, announce yourself like a god, bargain like a merchant, uplift, protect, or erase. Make contact gently… or make history in fire. This is your invasion, your embassy, your experiment, your salvation. Humanity gets one first impression—what will it be? (IS + AC included)
