When working on the concepts for what we wanted to create as part of the Backerkit launch for ION Heart we knew that there was going to be a secondary book alongside the main rules. This was because this would give us the extra space to really dive into the background of the Astral Union and tell some stories that expanded the galactic setting.

As you can see from the initial cover concept we had settled on the Rakaens as one of the core character groups in Remembrance. However, we hadn't landed on making the memory of the war and its effects the central premise.

The cracking of the moons was the big change we made to the cover as it nicely juxtaposes the difference in its content to the much more relaxed looking pilot's handbook cover (moons fully intact).

We also added an absolutely colossal mech on the horizon. You'll be able to explore these gargantuan creations and learn tonnes about the Astral Union and its past as you explore the story circuits, settlements and planets in ION Heart: Remembrance!
