Support the war effort.

The Black Relay is being built one playable system at a time. These one-time founder packs help fund development while keeping every reward grounded in access, recognition, and cosmetics—not gameplay advantages.

Choose your level of support.

Start with the full game and every supporter playtest. Higher tiers add founder cosmetics and closer access to the development process. Every tier includes the rewards below it.

No paid battlefield advantage.

Support should leave a mark on the world without changing who wins a fight. These packs will not include larger stashes, stronger equipment, faster progression, or any other paid gameplay advantage.

Relay Council members can offer feedback and participate in focused polls, but the final direction remains with the developer and the needs of the game.
