Space Opera | Sci-Fi Adventure | Found Family | Slow-Burn Romance | LGBTQ+
Captain Kristian Andersson takes command of the Pathfinder SR1, a newly refitted vessel tasked with humanity's most ambitious mission yet: to chart unknown systems, scout potential worlds, and seek out new life beyond the stars.
But nothing could have prepared them for what came next. When an anomaly tears the ship across galaxies, the Pathfinder crashes into the unknown-damaged, isolated, and stranded in a place where none of the stars match their charts.
The Systems Alliance is gone. Earth is out of reach. And humanity may not be as alone in the universe as they once believed. To survive, Andersson and his crew must forge uneasy alliances and face ancient powers that defy both science and understanding.
At the heart of their struggle are Andersson-a hardened N7 soldier thrown into the role of explorer-and Commander Reece, his quick-witted XO, whose loyalty runs deeper than protocol.
Blending Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and classic space adventure, Pathfinder is a sweeping, character-driven saga of exploration, identity, and legacy. It's a story about what comes after the end of the world-and the hope that, even across galaxies, we can still find where we belong.
