Back
Covered in noxious gas and roiling storms, populated with poisonous flora and murderous fauna, Atmos is a world of the most violent extremes. The human beings who scrape a living from this benighted rock represent the best and the worst that the Galaxy has to offer.
Freeminers and revolutionaries, gang members and void-pirates, Exo racers and corporate overlords, all living in a constant state of contention, honing their skills against one another, vying for power and wealth.
Little do any of them understand the true danger of their continued enterprise on this planet, for it is not merely their fellow humans with whom they are competing. Atmos itself seems to hate the parasitic species that has traveled from the stars to infest its surface, and will do anything and everything to rid itself of their blight.

Exordium is a nine chapter comic book series detailing the events of rookie pilot Addy Aker's inaugural ExoGP Season. Trained from birth by an off-world cult, Addy has escaped her fate and fled to Atmos, seeking to disappear into the planet's shadowy criminal underworld.
Stumbling instead into the ranks of Atmos's legendary ExoGP racing league, she will find herself pitted against the most tenacious and talented pilots in the galaxy. Racing head-to-head on deadly tracks that defy imagination, it will take more than Addy's lethal training and indoctrinated aggression to get her across the finish line first...if she survives at all.
Welcome to Exordium.
Indoctrinated from birth by an off-world cult, Addy has escaped her blood soaked destiny and fled to Planet Atmos. Seeking to survive on this strange, new world, she has sold her deadly talents to the Talon Gar, Atmos’s preeminent criminal organization, and is about to embark on a planetside heist that will change her life forever.
The son of legendary Atmosian fabricator, Heff Vulkansson, Oz is preparing to make his long awaited debut on the ExoGP racing stage. Driven from the cradle into an Exo suit by the indomitable will of his perfectionist father, Oz’s innate talent and hunger for victory are such that on any other world he would reign as undisputed racing champion. But Atmos is not just any other world.
An unstoppable, once in a generation force on the racetrack, Rogg has been masterfully marketed as the new face of ExoGP in an attempt to distance the league from Atmos' legacy of unsanctioned, brutal racing. Over the past two years he has won back-to-back championships and is sure to take a third this season unless someone can rise to his level, or drag him down to theirs.

Bloodied by her encounter on the planet’s surface, Addy Aker awakens in shackles. Held by Emergent’s cruel and corrupt Huskarls, she will find herself defended by an unlikely ally – someone willing to overlook her criminal past in their pursuit of racing glory.
Pesh Chosen, a former ExoGP Champion, sees within Addy an unmined vein of raw racing talent. Pesh has simply to chip away at her rough exterior, convince her to join his team, and then unleash her onto the racetrack. But Addy is no one’s lackey. Motivated by neither glory nor fame. Uninterested in taking advice or changing her ways. Addy Aker doesn’t need a coach. She needs an enemy.
The Tremor from Treimoor, The Birdman of Bright Market, The Yellow Knight, The Golden Son. These are but a few of the many names earned by Pesh Chosen during his extensive racing career. A champion in his youth, now rapidly approaching middle age, this season may be Pesh’s last chance to reclaim his crown and seize ExoGP glory forever.
The Huskarl Lodge was founded as a noble peacekeeping body, entrusted with the protection of Emergent’s holdings. A hundred years on, Captain Buel still cleaves to that legacy, at least on paper. Corrupt, power-hungry, paranoid, and prejudiced, she gleefully oversees the continued rot of an already tainted institution.
Orphaned by a cave-in, maimed by an alien beast, abandoned to bleed out in the Bounty wastes, Ta’Wali survived. Thrown into mines at the age of thirteen, working sixteen hour days, beaten by Huskarls, Ta’Wali endured. Made lead pilot for the United Miners of Atmos, harried by her competitors, flying through lethal storms at breakneck speeds, Ta’Wali Dies Young continues to defy her name.

The official ExoGP season begins amid fraught relations between Emergent and the Atmosian populace. Which of this year's contenders will come out on top? Rogg, the reigning champion, up-and-comer Oz Vulkansson, Ta'Wali Dies Young, the people's favorite, or one of the other teams skilled enough to qualify for GP1.
Still unrecovered from his injuries, veteran racer Pesh Chosen faces a difficult decision. Rookie Addy Aker is torn between her past and potential future as a competitive pilot. Despite her performance in qualifiers, she may get another chance to change her fate.
Growing up aboard ships of the Bucephalan Navy, Del gained the rank of Master Engineer before he and his crew were stranded by the scuttling of their Man’O’War. Left penniless on the streets of Atmos, Del’s engineering skills got the attention of Pesh Chosen, who brought him on as the Lead Engineer for Team Chosen.
A lifetime spent in chop shop garages made Heff Vulkansson one of the most skilled Exo fabricators in history. Heff tends to treat people as if they were just as predictable as the machines he understands so well. Having developed his own line of Exos to rival Emergent’s MKIV, and the natural talents of his son, Oz, Heff plans to make Vulkansson the first family of the ExoGP.
Addy’s cohort and fellow survivor of Reda, Jin is a devoted follower of the little known Aritauni religion. Jin views their arrival on Atmos as preordained and is committed to doing what he must to satisfy the fates. For now, this means bartering their martial talents for idents and smuggling services from the Atmosi criminal underworld.
