With cries of "Sic Semper Tyrannis", nearly a quarter of the United Empire's worlds have seceded to form their own nation. They call themselves the "Pilgrims". The Empire's legislature interpreted this secession as treason, and the overwhelming might of the loyalist fleet has fallen on the Pilgrims. Although the situation is militarily hopeless, your family and friends have all joined the resistance - and so you shall.
Sonata is a total conversion mod for FTL based on the storyline of Endless Space by Amplitude Studios, with heavy modifications. It aims to create a gritty, realishtic, and morally ambiguous story on the FTL engine where politics, motivations, and the nature of humanity itself affect your journey.
