The Lore of Dawn Apart
As we slide into the weekend, it's time to share another Weekly Apart, our hebdomadal (yes, I looked it up, it's just a fancy word for weekly) series of community posts in which we keep you up-to-date on all things Dawn Apart. This time we want to give you a quick overview of the game's evolving lore - which is not required reading and will be purely optional for the game in its final form. To be clear: Our main focus is on creating an awesome "build giant factories and manage colonies on a distant planet" experience and not bore our player with endless scrolls of backstory.
However, if you want to learn more about why you have been sent to the planet Aurora and mine resources for an interstellar Megacorp. and what awaits you there, you may want to keep on reading - or join our Discord server where you can find an extensive timeline of things that happened in the galaxy leading up to the events of Dawn Apart - and yes you can even vote on and shape certain aspect of the game's universe.

The premise of Dawn Apart is that you have been sent to Aurora by the Kobayashi-Schwarz Corporation (or KS in short), a leading producer and processor of Lucrum 115, the galaxy's most versatile and precious metal. KS in its current form is the result of centuries of mergers, acquisitions, and downright hostile takeovers among representatives of the Schwarzes on the one hand, an old mining family and the diversified holding group founded by super-gifted 8-year old Junichiro Kobayashi on the other. Junichiro's grandson Goro Kobayashi ultimately emerges victorious in a succession battle and immediately sets his eyes on the prize: Extracting as much Lucrum as possible from the galaxy.
