Two years after Omni-Man revealed himself as a Viltrumite conqueror and nearly broke Earth in the process, the planet survives in a state of uneasy recovery. Cities have been rebuilt, governments have tightened control over superhuman activity, and the Global Defense Agency works constantly to prepare for threats no longer considered hypothetical. The public now understands that Earth exists within a violent and expansive cosmic order — and that far stronger enemies may still be coming.

Heroes are divided between idealists, opportunists, survivors, and those simply trying to keep the world together. Criminal syndicates traffic alien technology, rogue superhumans exploit the chaos, and hidden forces awaken beneath the surface of a traumatized world. Rumors of the Viltrum Empire spread through both governments and underground circles alike, while extraterrestrial powers begin turning their attention toward Earth.

The campaign focuses on what it means to live in a world permanently changed by betrayal, fear, and escalating superhuman conflict. Players may become rising heroes, independent vigilantes, government operatives, mercenaries, cosmic wanderers, or even defectors from hostile alien civilizations as Earth stands on the edge of a larger interstellar war.
