Introduction

The extraterrestrials known as Typhon were first encountered by Russian cosmonauts in 1958. When the Soviet Union’s Vorona I satellite stopped transmitting deep space telemetry, a repair team was dispatched to investigate. While the satellite exhibited no external issues, the cosmonauts were attacked by Typhon organisms when they opened the outer casing—all members of the team were lost and footage of the incident was allegedly destroyed and buried. Working together with the United States, in 1963, the Soviet Union initiated the Kletka Program in an attempt to contain the Typhon within a permanent space installation orbiting Earth’s moon. Now operated by the TranStar Corporation, the space station hosts a team of researchers dedicated to studying the Typhon and unlocking the secrets of their unique abilities.
