Vestige takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where the rampant extraction of anti-gravity particles devastated the ecosystem, turning Earth into a parched, desolate wasteland.
The once bustling city centers now lie half buried in sand, entangled with a labyrinth of pipes supplying oxygen to underground dwellings.
Fleets of hovering mining ships were deployed to expedite the extraction process, which disrupted the equilibrium of local gravitational fields, triggering a global sandstorm that lasted centuries.
Discontent with a life trapped underground, those longing for freedom fled to the outskirts of the urban landscape, seeking refuge in rundown abodes.
As the mining fleets collapsed, their wreckage lay scattered across the sand dunes. Abandoned mine wells ceaselessly released torrents of sand, perpetuating its destructive impact on the environment.
Production of anti-gravity fuel cells has shifted underground. Positioned at the upper level is a pressurized chamber built to collect and contain unprocessed anti-gravity particles.
Situated several hundred meters below the core, the refinery utilizes intense heat to meld anti-gravity particles with neodymium, producing a molten alloy that inherits anti-gravity properties.
The mixture descends to the base level, where it undergoes compression within a magma-powered collider, pressing the molten alloy into solid blocks of anti-gravity fuel cells.
The factory elevator transports workers and cargo across an extensive network of underground levels.
Due to the unforgiving nature of atmospheres above, anti-gravity vehicles require frequent maintenance to ensure their optimal performance and safety.
Workers unwind and replenish in the neglected mess hall after enduring their long, tiring shifts.
