Do you know what fear is?
The Mara Yama, horrifying Celestials, twisted into monstrous forms, are unlike anything humanity has ever faced in the battle for survival. The Mara Yama feed on fear, delight in cruelty, and revel in the agony of their prey. They aren’t just hunters – they are sadistic predators who savor every moment of psychological torment they inflict.
Stalking the deepest shadows of the Centauri Cluster, the Mara Yama strike without warning, targeting the isolated and unsuspecting.

Few escape their grip, but those who do know the frightening truth that lurks out there in the void.
Traveler, proceed with caution and prepare for a chilling encounter.
