The Dark Nation was already a twisted, horrifying landscape of endless death and terror, but its nightmare reached new heights as the necromorphs from the Dead Space universe descended upon it. These grotesque, mutated creatures—birthed from reanimated dead tissue and twisted by alien infection—added an entirely new dimension of horror to the Dark Nation, turning it into an even more terrifying realm where nothing was safe from corruption.
The necromorphs brought a menagerie of grotesque horrors, their forms diverse and deadly. From the Lurkers, with their sickening ability to crawl on walls and fire projectiles from their tentacles, to the terrifying Leapers, whose whip-like tails lashed out with savage force, the necromorphs began to spread through the Dark Nation like a plague. Exploders lumbered through the ruins, their bulbous sacs of explosive tissue ready to detonate at the slightest touch, while the insidious Infectors spread their curse by transforming the fallen into more necromorphs. Even the monstrous Pregnants, filled with smaller necromorphs ready to burst forth, made their way through the decaying cities and battle-scarred lands of the Dark Nation.
More dangerous were the advanced necromorphs, whose sheer size and strength made them nearly unstoppable. The brutish Brutes, heavily armored and devastating in combat, charged through anything in their path, while the haunting Dividers, whose bodies could split into multiple independent parts, created new nightmares for the Dark Nation's inhabitants. The horrifying Twitchers, moving at inhuman speeds, and the grotesque Pukers, vomiting toxic bile, added even more chaos to the land.
But even worse were the special necromorphs, who represented the true depths of the infection's terrifying power. The relentless Hunter, whose regenerative abilities made it virtually unkillable, stalked its prey through the darkened streets. The massive Hive Mind, an entity of towering proportions, oversaw the necromorphs' spread, while the Brethren Moons, colossal celestial necromorphs, brought the very stars themselves under their control. The Ubermorph, a nigh-invincible killing machine, prowled the depths of the Dark Nation, adding to the unrelenting terror.
Adding to the horror were the enhanced necromorphs like the Fodder, Feeder, Waster, Shambler, Screecher, and the monstrous Nexus, each bringing unique and deadly forms of terror. The Regenerator, with its impossible-to-destroy form, stalked its victims with eerie calm, ensuring that no one in the Dark Nation could escape the relentless nightmare.
With the arrival of the necromorphs, the Dark Nation became a place of unimaginable horror. They joined the zombie hordes from Dawn of the Dead, Dead Rising, 28 Days Later, The Walking Dead, Night of the Living Dead, World War Z, and the Cordyceps from The Last of Us, spreading their infection through the land. The necromorphs fed on the chaos, turning the already decayed and ruined landscape into something far worse—a living, breathing nightmare where even the dead were not safe.
But as always, The One Above All intervened to spare the innocent. The surviving humans from the Dead Space universe—those who had endured the horrors of the necromorph outbreak—were transported to the safety of the Light Nation, where they could finally find peace away from the nightmare that had consumed their world.
Among the survivors was Isaac Clarke, the resilient engineer who had fought tirelessly against the necromorphs and survived their relentless attacks. He was joined by his lover, Nicole Brennan, whose fate had once been entwined with the horrors of the necromorph infection. Kendra Daniels, a fellow survivor with a dark secret, and Zach Hammond, a steadfast leader, were also spared.
Other key figures included Dr. Challus Mercer, a scientist obsessed with the necromorphs and their connection to the alien Marker, and Captain Benjamin Matthius, the ill-fated captain of the USG Ishimura. Dr. Terrence Kyne, a man who had once tried to stop the necromorph outbreak, found his way to the Light Nation, as did the tough survivor Ellie Langford.
The list of survivors grew longer: Nolan Stross, a man tormented by the visions of the Marker; Hans Tiedemann, a leader who had tried to contain the outbreak; and Daina Le Guin, who had manipulated Isaac for her own ends. Even Franco Delille, who had fought against the necromorphs, and the haunted soldier John Carver were spared.
Other survivors like Norton, Santos, Danik, Jacob Arthur Danik, Nathan McNeill, Gabe Weller, Lexine Murdoch, Aiden, and Samuel Irons also found safety in the Light Nation, away from the endless horrors of the necromorph infection.
In the Light Nation, these survivors were greeted by their fellow humans from Silent Hill, Dead Rising, Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days/Weeks/Years Later, The Walking Dead, Night of the Living Dead, World War Z, and The Last of Us. Together, they shared their stories of survival and resilience, each having faced unimaginable horror but now given the chance to live in peace under the protection of The One Above All.
But while the humans of the Dead Space universe found safety, the Dark Nation continued to spiral into madness. The necromorphs had brought a new level of terror to the already monstrous realm, turning it into a living nightmare where the very ground seemed to pulse with infection. The creatures of the Dark Nation, from Lucifer's demonic army to the infected monsters from countless universes, watched as the necromorphs spread their corruption further, and even they began to sense that the Dark Nation was evolving into something far beyond chaos.
