For three thousand years, humanity has known this moment would come. A supermassive black hole, ancient and relentless, is devouring our solar system. Its gravitational pull is absolute, its hunger insatiable, its advance inevitable. One by one, the planets of our solar system are being dragged toward oblivion. There is no escape. There is no salvation. There is only time.
You serve the Interstellar Defence Network, the IDN, a civilisation spanning initiative created to prepare humanity for this moment. Its purpose is singular. Delay extinction long enough for the last colonies to escape into the distant stars. Your mission is not to survive. Your mission is to delay the inevitable.
You are a Planetary Pilot, an elite operator linked directly into the command core of entire worlds. The planets of the solar system have been reshaped into fortress worlds, each equipped with unique technologies developed across millennia. Once connected to a planet, you do not simply control it. You synchronise with it. You become it.
As the black hole tears through the system, the IDN deploys you into collapsing asteroid fields, unstable gravity zones, and waves of cosmic debris. The longer you endure, the more people survive. Eventually you will fall, but the time you buy determines humanity’s future.
Every planet features three unique technologies that shape its identity and its style of play. Some focus on control, others on survival, mobility, environmental manipulation, or raw defence. Learning how each world responds to your commands is essential if you want to push deeper into the chaos.
The destruction surrounding you is never static.
Dense asteroid clusters shift and collide
Gravitational distortions pull you off course
Fragmented debris clouds erupt without warning
High‑velocity cosmic bodies race across your path
Every threat reacts to the increasing pull of the black hole, creating a battlefield that grows more violent and unpredictable over time.
Each mission is rewarded with Quanta, a rare energy harvested from the edge of destruction. The IDN uses this energy to awaken and energise dormant planets, each one offering new tools, new strategies, and new challenges. As you progress, more of the solar system becomes available, expanding your arsenal and refreshing the fight for time.
The IDN records every mission. The longer you survive, the higher you rise in rank. There are no victories, only moments of resistance, but those moments define your legacy. Whether you survive seconds longer or minutes more, every breakthrough places your name among the most resilient Planetary Pilots.
This is Orbital, an infinite survival challenge where victory is measured not in survival but in enduring. There is no escape. There is no salvation. There is only time.
