The year is X40009t../3./. Humans have drained their Mother Queen creature to extinction, consuming all her energy and resources in a pursuit of riches and power. Now, armed with Stellar Machines they spread across the Cosmos colonizing and exploiting other planets and their spiritual mother creatures. Most coveted resource: Plasma Water.
Plasma Water is the main fuel for their Stellar Machines. Earthlings need it to empower the mechanical core of their expansionary colonial empire and the place to find it is Salamander, the primal spiritual mother of the deserted Sala Planet.
The Sala creatures believe this colossal Salamander is the living heart of their world. Ιts energy, wisdom and breath provides Plasma Water, the force that sustains the very ground they walk upon. Their "weapons" are not forged from metal, but born from the Salamander Queen herself: Salachutes, small flying creatures that communicate with their mother during flight, making them difficult for humans to overcome. The Salas see themselves not as conquerors but as guardians and caretakers of this primal, elemental being. They have developed a complex system of rituals, prayers and offerings to honor the giant Salamander and ensure its continued life and well-being. They see it as their sacred duty to preserve the delicate balance of their planet's ecosystem and protect the Plasma Water that seeps from the ground - the only way for life to continue on this planet.
Humanoids have enslaved the Sala creatures, forcing them to harvest Plasma Water and transport it back to Earth where it fuels their war machines. Yet their greed drives them deeper as they seek the source itself. Mother Salamander.
She belongs to and remains in the underground crypts and vast caverns of the planet, overflowing with Plasma Water. Only Salas know where Mother lives and rests. Where the pond of life lies and how to call her forth.
But if Mother rises, humanoids will face a force beyond their imagination. For she does not emerge in peace, she awakens to protect. And she will not rise alone. The Mothers of all planets are bound together communicating across the fabric of the Cosmos. They are the heartbeat of the Universe itself.
And when enough pain and disaster is endured, they -together as one- summon the Protector: The Titan of the nebulas who comes from the celestial depths. The guardian of the Mother Queens and their tribes. The Cosmic Monster...
