Synopsis:

In a world haunted by enigmatic beings known as Chaika, the quest for the fragmented remains of the long-dead Emperor Gaz drives a complex narrative. The protagonist, Chaika, grapples with fragmented memories and an uncertain identity while pursuing answers to her origins. Her journey intertwines with others – individuals dedicated to recovering the Emperor's relics, corporations seeking to control the Chaika, and those motivated by personal revelations concealed for centuries.

The series unfolds as a character-driven exploration of truth and legacy, following a group navigating a morally ambiguous landscape. Their investigation into the Emperor’s hidden history promises to unveil unsettling truths about the world’s past and the nature of the Chaika themselves. Expect atmospheric storytelling that emphasizes mystery and interpersonal dynamics over high-octane action.
