And the story goes…

In O.R.B players launch themselves into a dynamic world where two races are fighting over the territory they each thought was theirs. The Malus are a product of their planet’s harsh environment. Scarce water, extremely high temperatures and a volatile climate have created a rigidly disciplined culture based on strength and triumph over adversity. The Alyssians are an independent, self-sufficient and fatalistic race who have sacrificed their individualism for the greater cause of societal harmony and consider themselves democratic and egalitarian.

Two different races. One shared goal. And the battle intensifies even more when the two races realize they are not alone in their fight…
