It's been thousands of years since humanity spread across the galaxy, and where there are stars, there are jobs, cargo, and trouble waiting behind every one of them. Celestina, a courier of the stars, cruises through the cosmos every day alongside her partners: Lilith, an all-purpose AI, and Lemurias, a state-of-the-art transport ship. Her latest job seems simple enough at first: deliver a capsule known as the "coffin," said to contain a corpse. Blinded by the generous reward, she takes the job, only to hear strange noises coming from inside the coffin mid-transport. That moment marks the beginning of the Echo Incident, a mystery that will shake entire star systems to their core. Traveling from star system to star system, Celestina meets new companions and bids farewell to others, uncovering fragments of a lost past, sealed research, and a path leading toward a legendary stellar region. Today, as always, the courier of the stars takes flight, carrying someone's feelings along with the cargo.
