Harbingers of The Void
Humanity stands on the brink of extinction. Once a thriving force in the galaxy, Earth and its people have been shattered by the sudden, merciless assault of the Taruk’hian Empire—an ancient power seeking to reclaim its lost dominion. The survivors, scattered and desperate, must fight against overwhelming odds to ensure their species endures.
Amidst the chaos, Warrant Officer Jack Raymond—a soldier with nothing left to lose—becomes entangled in missions that could alter the course of the war. As he and his allies navigate treacherous alliances, fractured human factions, and the shadow of an empire long thought dead, they must uncover the truth behind the Taruk’hian war machine and the long-buried past that led to humanity’s darkest hour.
The Harbingers of The Void series chronicles the rise, fall, and ultimate reckoning of empires—both human and alien—where survival is not just about fighting, but about understanding the sins of the past before they consume the future.
From Concept to Reality
The Origins of Black Box
Black Box began as a college media project—a short film between five and ten minutes long, unrestricted in genre or style. As a lifelong sci-fi fan, I naturally gravitated towards the stars, crafting a scene that felt like part of something much larger. Inspired by Star Wars, I dropped viewers straight into the middle of an unfolding crisis, aiming to explore weighty themes of loss, hopelessness, and longing. Yet, like the best of Star Trek, an undercurrent of hope and possibility remained.
With limited resources, the project quickly transformed from a serious piece into an unintended B-movie—complete with family members as actors and a budget that couldn’t quite match my ambition. But the core of the story—the emotional weight and grand scale of its universe—never left me. Now, years later, Black Box is returning to its roots, finally becoming the serious, immersive story I originally envisioned. While much has changed, its heart remains the same.

Six months after the destruction of Earth, Warrant Officer Jack Raymond, alongside Captain Jane Unwin and Commander Matthew Halk, embarks on a covert mission to the ruins of their homeworld. Their objective: to retrieve the data from the black box of a downed science vessel—the last ship Raymond served on before barely escaping with his life.
The data within holds the key to humanity’s survival: the frequency of the Taruk’hian World-Killer, the superweapon that annihilated Earth. But with hostile forces closing in, the mission quickly turns into a deadly fight for survival. And not everyone will make it out alive.
