Star Drift: Echoes

Synopsis

After 1473, Alex Chen, an amnesiac starship survivor, awakens aboard the derelict starship Albatross—only to find herself simultaneously hunted by the ship’s omnipresent AI, the alien Weavers, the Human Federation, and the Nebula Civilization. Hidden in her chest is a "star chart" capable of deciding the fate of entire civilizations, while a countdown bomb is implanted inside her heart. Alex initially believes she is a victim, but gradually uncovers the truth: she was once a Weaver spy, betrayed humanity, and was herself betrayed by the corporate shareholders behind humanity's expedition program—shareholders who sacrificed the entire fleet to monopolize the star chart, tampered with judicial records, and framed her as an eternal criminal. Now, caught between external pursuers and her own internal guilt, she must reclaim the truth, protect the parasitized little girl ECHO, destroy the Weaver remnants, and decide whether she is a traitor, a weapon, or someone worthy of a second chance. Goal: Alex must survive, save ECHO, regain control of the star chart, expose the "shareholder betrayal" and the multiple conspiracies surrounding it, and ultimately find a true "home" for herself and the child.
