The Incursion
A meteor scattered Spore across the planet six years ago. It is the most energy-dense substance ever discovered — and nothing on Earth knows how to safely hold it.
Contain it.
Or become it.
A real-time strategy game where two factions fight over a resource that is starting to think back.
The Premise
Two Factions
The UN Containment Corps wants to sterilise the world clean. The Hive Syndicate wants to transform it. There is no third option on the table — officially.
The Spore Awakens
A third force is stirring beneath the war. It does not speak, it does not march. But both sides are starting to notice the ground answering back.
Faction 01
Marine
Orbital Uplink
Titan
UN Containment Corps
Contain. Hold. Sterilize.
A disciplined, multinational military force assembled in the wake of the Incursion. The UNCC fields conventional firepower — railed armour, orbital drops, and atmospheric scrubbers — and believes the Spore is a planetary infection that must be erased before it finishes rewriting the biosphere. Their doctrine has no word for negotiation.

Faction 02ConvertBloaterThe Maw
Hive Syndicate
Be heard. Be many. Be one.
Once a fringe cult on the edge of the exclusion zone, the Syndicate was the first to embrace the Spore — and the first to be embraced back. Their cities are grown, not built. Their soldiers share a psychic link called the Choir. They do not see themselves as the next species, only the next verse, and they cannot understand why the rest of humanity is still screaming.
