ABOUT
Taskforce Earth is a partnership between Aeternus Center and Obscurum Space. Aeternus Center and Obscurum Space are companies founded as part of PLACEBOS, a group formed after a group of friends discovered ancient ruins filled with strange technology and artifacts in the late 20th century.
The ruins were discovered to be fragments of a non-terrestrial vehicle, referred to as the Ark, which broke apart long ago, with pieces strewn across Earth. After the initial discovery, a group of companies were formed to investigate the ruins of the Ark. Aeternus was formed to gain a greater understanding of the technology and artifacts discovered, working to make scientific breakthroughs to advance the human race. Meanwhile, Obscurum was focused on discovering the history of the Ark and what caused it to crash.
After many years investigating the ruined pieces of the Ark, Obscurum Space was able to discover that the Ark was fleeing from a threat known as the Eater, some sort of powerful force that brought devastation and destruction to the world that the Ark originated from. While the precise details and scope of the threat is unknown, Obscurum Space has continued to try investigating it.
In recent years, members of Aeternus and Obscurum have discovered the existence of a group known as the Seekers who seem to be trying to bring the Eater to our world. While the scale and scope of the group seemed to be negligible, recent actions by their members, including assassination attempts and sabotage has forced Aeternus and Obscurum to work together to stop them and prepare for the threat of the Eater.
Taskforce Earth is the result. Taskforce Earth is tasked with determining all it can about the Eater and gather the information and resources needed to be able to understand it and either prevent it from coming to our world, or to prepare to defend against its incursion. One of the first priorities of the Taskforce is to find a fragment of the Ark known as the Tower, which is believed to hold a great deal of information about the threat of the Eater along with technology that may be beneficial to prepare for the threat.
Unfortunately recent events involving the deaths of the leadership of Aeternus and Obscurum, believed to be tied to the Seekers, have left Taskforce Earth in a state of flux. We hope that the aid and wisdom provided by new recruits to Taskforce Earth will help guide our work and ensure we are prepared.
