"We called it the Traveler, and its arrival changed us forever." In the not-too-distant future, the first manned mission to Mars discovers a massive, sentient construct entering its atmosphere. This benevolent entity, which humanity nicknames "the Traveler", possesses godlike powers over time and space that allow it to warp reality to its will. With its help, humans colonize the Moon before moving on to terraform Mercury, Venus, and Mars into livable garden worlds. Human lifespan triples, amazing feats of technology including sentient machines are achieved, and this time period becomes known as "the Golden Age."
"But the Traveler had an enemy: a Darkness which had hunted it for eons across the black gulfs of space. Centuries after our Golden Age began, this Darkness found us. And that was the end of everything." In counterpart to the Traveler is the entity known only as the Darkness. Its powers are equal or even greater, but where the Traveler is a force of creation and renewal, the Darkness is a force for ruin and destruction. In an event that will later be known as the Collapse, the Darkness descends upon Earth, bringing with it alien armies that wipe out all but a few last scraps of humanity. In a last-ditch attempt to fend off the invaders, the Traveler performs some unknown but ultimate sacrifice, all but killing itself to protect the last city on Earth. Now it hangs in unconscious stasis over the Last City, unable to communicate, possibly dying, but still offering protection the only way it can.
"But it was also a beginning." The Traveler's power, its lifeblood, is known as Light. It's akin to the Force in that it is a wellspring which can only be tapped by select individuals. Those who can wield this Light are known as Guardians. Armed with incredible power and near immortality, as well as a truly astounding array of deadly weapons, the Guardians are the last protectors of humanity. Accompanied by tiny Light-powered constructs called Ghosts, they patrol the solar system, fighting off alien pirates and worse. They are a beacon of hope in an otherwise forsaken time, the wall on which their enemies break.
But now the Darkness is returning. And with the Traveler dying, it's unknown whether their forces will be enough to stop it this time....
