Divergence: Online is the MMORPG that began as the spiritual successor to Pre-CU Star Wars Galaxies but has since grown into its own living, breathing universe.

Divergence brings back the golden years of MMORPGs and pushes the envelope even further than before to new extents.

If you're a Terran Human, Synthetic, Veli Vindicator, or Lokri, you're a momentary survivor of a massive crash-landing event wherein your capitalship was inexplicably and violently ripped from its orbit down to the surface of this alien moon.

You don't know why. Nobody knows why at this moment, but you suspect your enemies, one of the other factions your ship was locked in a Mexican standoff with only hours before, had something to do with it.

Somehow, you were pulled down to this alien, yet familiar planetoid, orbiting a super-earth.

Chaos. Bodies burning. Conduits belching violent current into twisted forms of broken super-structure, as your fellow shipmates desperately labor under yawning bulkheads to free trapped humans, aliens, and machines.

And all the while, the endless chattering in the dark just beyond the threshold of your perception.

Eyes, watching you. Two. Ten. A hundred. A thousand. My God, my science, they're everywhere! It's an attack!!!

The native creatures. Other survivors from the other ships. They're all equally dangerous; Your only hope being the frantic and desperate repair and re-establishment of make-shift cloning facilities at your base-camp immediately adjacent the smoldering ruin of your once pristine starship; Now buried face-first in a landscape hideously scarred by your arrival.


Find your friends. Know where your enemies are. Venture out to establish outposts of your own but not too far, lest you be fell upon by the world's native inhabitants, agents of enemy factions, mercenaries, assassins, bandits, or even the conditions of the environment itself.

• One single contiguous server (+1 PVE server with Consensual PVP). Everyone on Earth who plays Divergence shares the same world and is apart of the same community.
  
• A huge 250km2 game world, streamed to you in real-time, eliminating zones.
  
• Up to 6km view range on max graphical settings.
  
• Several biomes, including but not limited to temperate forest, arid desert, high desert, rain forest, barren steppes, open meadows, polar tundra, and alien environments as well.
  
• Up to eight playable species (13 if you count the 5 breeds of humans) many with vastly different playstyles and capabilities.
  
• Open PVP everywhere, no exceptions on our primary server. TEF-Based Consensual PVP on our second (PVE) server.
  
• Limited perma-death depending on location and species.
  
• Over forty career paths able to be mixed and matched into thousands of possible combinations.
  
• High-resolution (4x higher resolution than Minecraft) voxel-based construction system for sculpting homes, structures, and facilities.

Resource locations, concentrations, and individuals stats appear and disappear as they're used up all over the world's surface. Some will last mere hours, some, potentially months, so use your surveying tools to find the best resource locations and stake your claim before other players do!

Once you've found those high-quality resources, construct automated harvesting rigs to target and extract those materials from the world in realtime whether you're online or offline.

Every item from your pants to your nightlight relies on stats directly determined by the stats of the raw materials and components you fed into it during crafting.

Increase the strength of walls by using specialized low-grade ore with a high "unit toughness" rating, or increase the speed and energy-efficiency of your resource harvesters by creating their circuitry using rare high "conductivity" copper. Or perhaps decrease the weight while increasing heat dissipation of your firearms by crafting the barrels out of alloys, then use a personal factory to mass-produce and sell them on the open market!

Through careful choosing of your professions, players in Divergence can change careers as often as they like, or stick with the same profession for years on end.

Choose from any combination of combat-derived professions, such as Bounty-Hunting, Teras Kasi, or Rifleman, or totally non-combative professions such as Dancing, Engineering, Narcotics, Tailoring, or many, many more.

There is (without cartography) no minimap, nor world map in Divergence. You arrive on one huge 262sqkm central continent which is also surrounded on all sides by numerous additional islands and continents ranging in size from 1sqkm to over 300sqkm, many of which containing just under their surface vast quantities of undiscovered resources and wealth, just awaiting the first player explorers to discover them.

Our story begins with three factions:

• Omicron Systems Integrated: Hyper-advanced technology and constitutionally-guaranteed rights for all species living under their rule form the background of this Utopian society. OSI seek to bring order and stability to the galaxy by peaceful means whenever possible. OSI boast a high-percentage of non-human citizens, second only to VRTek. OSI reflect an alignment of Lawful Good.
  
• Darius Conrad: The largest of the mega-corporations, driven by an insatiable need to grow through profit-margins, calculated risks, and imposition of their ideology. Sharks are born swimming, and DC executives are born sharks, be is administrative, military, or social, they excel to compete and win in their fields. In DC society, non-humans are generally distrusted, but accepted the moment they prove they have something to offer. DC Reflect an alignment of True Neutral.
  
• Viconye Ritek: Traversing the stars as a single fleet instead of colonizing worlds, VRTek are a shadowy society built on the ideals of Strength through adversity. Truth above all else.. VRTek are the "savage nobility" of Divergence, who compel all agents both civilian and military to seek personal growth through direct confrontation of weakness, resulting in the smallest yet strongest fighting force in the galaxy. VRTek reflect an alignment of Chaotic Good.

In Divergence, the factions and characters you will encounter have specific objectives aimed at preserving their own existing on Rook. All three factions, and additionally many of their notable characters, are played by both official GMs and sponsored players into a guided, yet totally non-guaranteed future of allegiances and conflicts. We fully expect at least one faction will be completely eradicated within the first year of retail, at which point, players will help us design new factions to "accidentally crash land on the planet" as well.
