About the NexoHominis franchise

NexoHominis is a science-fiction franchise from Exodus Games, a Canadian wargame company based in Vancouver. NexoHominis: Black Sun is its first project, introducing a conflict between HOPE and BioLife through a science-fiction video game, tabletop warfare, original stories, and miniatures.

The upcoming RTS, or real-time strategy game, combines army building, resource control, and opposing worldviews. Players who enjoy good real-time strategy games and story-driven video games can explore the setting through both tabletop and video games. Read the Core Alpha Rulebook and follow development toward Steam Early Access. Future projects will expand the NexoHominis franchise, with details announced as development progresses.

01 THE UNIVERSE

CAPITAL. AMBITION. HUMANITY ASCENDANT.

Humanity.
Incorporated.
Capital.
Unbound.

Hyper-capitalism is our achievement.
Consumption is how we build the future.

The Final Merger™ gave humanity one Corporate Family™. We bought out the debts of Earth’s remaining countries, united citizenship with employment, and carried our most productive employees into the stars. Today, our subsidiaries turn fresh worlds into fresh opportunities. Work creates income. Income creates consumption. Consumption creates the need to work. Debt keeps that beautiful cycle moving. A universe of untapped resources awaits, and your next purchase is part of its future.

NexoHominis brings its civilizations to life through stories, real-time strategy, tabletop battles, and miniatures. Black Sun is the first project in this expanding franchise.

The setting behind the strategy

NexoHominis is the shared science-fiction universe behind a growing franchise from Exodus Games. Its civilizations, institutions, and conflicts provide the foundation for stories and future projects. Black Sun begins that exploration with a resource war in the Eidolon system, where HOPE's expansion meets an established BioLife colony.

Explore hyper-capitalism in sci-fi through HOPE's corporate language, or read BioLife's accounts of duty and collective purpose. Each faction speaks from its own knowledge and assumptions. The star map places Black Sun within a larger setting that can support further projects. Stories, real-time strategy games with deep lore, tabletop warfare, and miniatures offer different ways to enter the NexoHominis universe as it develops.

HOPE · EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION

Welcome to the family.
Mind the infestation.

A future you can purchase.
An obstacle we can process.

HOPE · YOUR CORPORATE FAMILY™

HOPE

Profit is Progress. Ownership is a myth.

There are no countries. There are no tribes. There is only HOPE and its golden spiral of subsidiaries. The wording of your contract is the law; expansion is the goal. Work. Consume. Breed. Die. Repeat. Welcome to perfected capitalism.

Open your employee handbook

CHAPTER 5 · DEBT APPRECIATION

Debt is the foundation of our society. It binds each citizen-employee to the Corporate Family™ and gives every working day a purpose. Through the Final Merger™, we bought out the debts of Earth’s remaining countries and united humanity at last. Our ark carried our most productive employees into a wider market. That is what a debt-motivated society can achieve. Your obligations are part of something greater.

A culture of consumption keeps ambition alive. Buy the clothes. Eat at the restaurant. Purchase new prescriptions. Whether you need any of it is beside the point: wanting more moves humanity forward. Follow the advertisements, follow your heart, and let tomorrow’s work pay for today’s possibilities. You could suffer a liability-free workplace accident tomorrow. Would you really let that stop you from enjoying the present?

XENOBIOTICS · RESOURCE OBSTRUCTION

BioLife

Their infestation prevents our Growth.

Billions of bioengineered aliens organize around central hives and pursue an unknowable, unprofitable goal. Our observations suggest specialized creatures bred for specialized jobs. They occupy useful worlds, resist our operations, and have not provided a channel for meaningful communication. What a waste of potential materials.

Review the resource assessment

OBSERVATIONS · EXTRACTION POTENTIAL

Xenobiotics has encountered multiple strains. We repeatedly observe hive-centered organization and complex internal communication, but the mechanisms behind them remain unknown. One strain can consume radium that would damage other specimens. A biological difference is a research opportunity: suitable samples may help our Advanced Worker program reduce shielding costs. Please remember that observed coordination tells us nothing useful about what these creatures believe.

The occupied rock contains priority materials. Production zones need food, R&D needs specimens, and our customers need their glow-in-the-dark face paint. A military incursion could address several needs at once. The infestation is therefore an operational problem with potential salvage value. Secure the deposit, recover what can be used, and keep the projected return in view. Their purpose remains unknown. Ours is perfectly clear.

Industry in service of humanity

Our subsidiaries give human ambition the machinery it deserves. Armored units, drones, and specialized workers carry the Corporate Family™ into new markets. Every deployment depends on a productive economy: resources feed construction, and construction supports expansion. BioLife aliens organize around central hives, but whether they share a hive mind remains unknown. Observed coordination tells us nothing useful about what these creatures believe. Our resource assessments concern deposits, operational costs, and recoverable materials. Their infestation occupies useful worlds and obstructs our growth. Secure the deposits, eliminate the obstruction, and salvage what can serve human enterprise. Explore our forces and the machinery that sustains them. Profit is Progress.

Satirical science fiction from within the conflict

The NexoHominis Stories archive explores the civilizations of a growing science-fiction franchise through their own records. Corporate advertisements, customer-service transcripts, and field reports expose the institutions behind the conflict. This satirical science fiction shares the dark humor of the franchise's sci-fi games while giving its worlds and societies room beyond the battlefield.

Black Sun is the first NexoHominis project within this expanding universe. The HOPE and BioLife switch selects each faction's introduction and archive, preserving their different voices and limited knowledge. Use the story-type filter to browse published pieces, then read each manuscript in full. Further stories and projects will expand the franchise as they are developed and announced.

A tabletop strategy game with an economy to defend

NexoHominis: Black Sun brings the franchise's first project to tabletop strategy games through an economy you build during battle. Developed by Exodus Games in Vancouver, this tabletop wargame from Canada lets you build your army as workers gather Carbonite, generators supply Energy, and production buildings create reinforcements. Protecting those resources matters alongside the army they sustain.

Players exploring sci-fi board games can begin with the Core Alpha Rulebook. Alternating activations, actual line of sight, and Wounded in Action effects give positioning and timing consequences. The rules remain in Alpha testing, and official physical miniatures and 3D printable STL downloads are coming soon. Black Sun introduces one conflict within the wider NexoHominis universe, which will continue through future projects.

Our story

Exodus Games, a Canadian indie game studio in Vancouver, began with Veronica Miskimins and Dr. Clement Pan trading ideas about the distant future in a dorm room near the UWT campus. Clement’s notes, first written on a paper bag, became the foundation for the company and its universe.

Today, the team is building NexoHominis as a science-fiction franchise. NexoHominis: Black Sun is the first project in a shared universe designed to grow through further projects, stories, tabletop warfare, and miniatures.
