To those of you who are uniformed, Harbinger is actually a ship, in which the entire game takes place. This mighty vessel is predominantly controlled by a merciless robotic entity called the Overlord, whose huge army of machines ruthlessly governs over the all other races that inhabit the regions of Harbinger. There are two other chief species dwelling within the ship - the Vantir and the Scintilla, which managed to live together in relative peace and harmony for a long time. After a while, every living thing aboard the Harbinger was suddenly faced with an alarming new threat; a bug-like race called the Cimicidae, who now put Harbinger and all of its dwellers in serious jeopardy. You begin your journey right in the middle of this great conflict with a group of outcasts that must survive and at the same time find a safe way out of the ship.
