Entrusted with the dream of reclaiming our long-lost cradle, the flagship THE CROWN OF DAHLIA set forth. But silence has shrouded its heralded journey, and now, it's gone missing. In SOL FRONTIERS you captain the JONAH'S WHALE, dispatched on a perilous mission to uncover the fate of the lost Dahlia and to piece together the fragments of a cosmic puzzle. Awaken your crew and expand your mothership. Navigate through haunting space graveyards, confront the sinister SWARM, and face the lurking DEEPER DARKNESS that threatens more than just humanity's return. Gather resources to repair your mothership With a diverse array of resources such as metal, crystals, and credits, ensure you grow your headquarters and, in turn, your reach by equipping and upgrading your crew's starfighters.
