▼ INSPIRATIONS ▼

Drawing from themes and aesthetics of cyberpunk, soft science fiction, space fiction and space westerns, the setting and story of Unforgiven takes inspiration from classic sci-fi and cyberpunk media such as Star Wars, The Sprawl Trilogy, Asimov’s Robot series, Cowboy Bebop, and so much more.

▼ WORLD ▼

In this time, in this galaxy, humanity has sprawled over 58 planets, and have built up countless outposts in space stations and on asteroids.

The central eight most developed planets, spanning three star systems - named after the long since destroyed eight planets of the Solar System - are what is considered the Central Circuit, and where the United Coalitions of the Ascendant - colloquially known as the Ascendancy, or the UCA - first found its footing.

The UCA, this facade of a government bought out by corporations and their monetary interests, has been clawing at every other settled planet with any profit to be gained - and with the backing of military and corporate might alike, the Inner and Outer Circuit have been gradually folding under its control, though not without protests, resistance and outright warfare.

Sixteen years ago, however, the UCA declared to the galaxy its total victory, and total control - war, they said, and the treasonous resistance of detractors, is finally over. The Ascendancy will bring forth a new era of peace and prosperity; and those who wish to resist are inconsequential. There is no war to wage, and no oppression to be defeated.
