Promised Land

YOU CAN NEVER RETURN TO YOUR HOMEWORLD.

THE CATACLYSMIC EVENTS THAT HAVE RENDERED IT A PART OF YOUR PAST HAVE FOREVER SEALED IT FROM YOUR FUTURE.

YOUR SMALL FLEET OF ORPHANS AND GHOSTS HAS BEEN YOUR ENTIRE UNIVERSE FOR NEARLY FORTY YEARS AS YOU’VE CROSSED THIS EMPTY COSMIC DESERT.

YET NOW YOU’VE COME TO A NEW UNEXPLORED AND UNMAPPED REGION OF SPACE, HIDDEN FROM VIEW BY THE NEBULAE AT THE EDGE OF THE STARLESS DESERT.

THERE IS NOW HOPE FOR A NEW BEGINNING.

THERE IS A NEW HOMEWORLD FOR YOU SOMEWHERE IN THIS UNKNOWN SPACE, READY AND WAITING FOR YOU TO CLAIM IT.

YOU COMMAND THE ORPHANED FLEET.

IT IS UP TO YOU TO GUIDE IT THROUGH THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS AHEAD, AND PROTECT IT FROM THOSE WISHING TO STOP YOU FROM ATTAINING WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS.

YOU WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO REACH YOUR PROMISED LAND.

THE SYSTEM

Promised Land is a game about an Orphaned Fleet in Unknown Space looking for a new homeworld. To get to your Promised Land, you will need to work together as a party and a fleet to explore the Unknown Space and chart the new area of space, investigate its star systems, and visit its many planets. 

There are three levels of gameplay in Promised Land: 

• Charting the stars as the Commanders of the Orphaned Fleet, creating the hex-star-maps as you move through Unknown Space and procedurally creating the galaxy around you
• Space Battles where each player commands a warship and does battle with hostile alien forces standing between the Orphans and their Promised Land; played with tokens or miniatures on a tabletop surface
• Playing as individual characters, sent on away missions to strange alien worlds, or boarding enemy starships to wrest control from the xenos forces

Promised Land takes inspiration from classic sci-fi media such as Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, the Foundation Series, and tabletop epics like Traveller to bring you a game about being lost in the wilderness and the struggle to find a new home for your people.
