Exodus, the spacefaring new RPG from a studio of BioWare veterans, has been gently drip-feeding players information about its universe for a while now, but its latest drop is the furthest it's strayed from its Mass Effect-shaped roots so far.
In the far future, an ailing humanity took to the stars to discover relics left behind by an ancient civilization, the Celestials. Those relics allowed humanity to jet around the galaxy, but, thanks to Exodus' hard sci-fi approach to intergalactic travel, only a select few are prepared to undergo the time dilation that occurs when they travel at near-light speed - a mission might only take days or weeks for the player, but months or years might have passed on Earth.
