* RobotWar: In the distant past, the LLC faced a number of robotic revolutions. Fortunately these were solved through tentative, but profitable, peace negotiations. Since then, they have accepted and recognized artificial intelligences (known as "Magnuses") as equal members of their society. Now, the faction is split nearly equally between humans, Magnuses, and hybrids of the two, and they have avoided additional robot revolutions for nearly two centuries.

* ShatteredWorld: The planet Ekkunar, homeworld of the Eldrid is this. Some cataclysm fractured the planet several thousand years ago. While still basically spherical, huge geological chunks of the planet are separated from one another, exposing the molten core of Ekkunar. The brightest scientists in the remaining universe are still trying to ascertain why the planet hasn’t flown apart or settled back in on itself. The best guesses still fall back to near mysticism, citing the universe-law-bending Varelsi or some arcane machinery of Ekkuni Dwarves.

Tonally, Battleborn could be considered a SpiritualSuccessor to Borderlands, featuring a dark and self-referential sense of humor and cartoony visuals. However, it's gameplay takes a lot of inspiration from the MOBA genre, featuring 5v5 battles with unique champions and [=NPCs=] to grind for loot and experience. The main twist to this is the perspective, as the game takes place in first person.

The game follows numerous factions currently vying for control of the Solus System, the last remaining star in the universe. As these groups struggle for the only source of energy remaining, a much larger issue looms, namely the unstoppable horde of star eaters, the Varelsi. Good luck with that.
