The conflict between the Imperial and Gerati cultures features prominently throughout the game and has the chance to affect major plot elements.Ģ14 years after the founding of the Romani Empire, the Empire is on the verge of defeat by the Gathering of Great Houses, and the House of Sayadi is in danger of being exterminated. The Romani are from the core of the Empire, located to the south of Gerat, and are often at odds with the native Elaim. The land of Gerat is split between two major ethnic groups, the Romani and Elaim. The setting of Gerat is based on the Middle East and Central Asia, with the Gathering War and the circumstances around it being heavily inspired by the Soviet-Afghan war. Gerati leaders, led by the Lord-Governor of the city of Khiva, rebelled against the Empire after decades of peace and overthrew the Imperial puppet king Elaou-Ali, declaring themselves the Republic of Gerat. The Empire, though once prosperous, is on the verge of defeat by the Gathering of Great Houses, a military alliance from the desert region of Gerat. The events of HighFleet take place 214 years after the founding of the Romani Empire, the most powerful nation in the known world, led by the House of Sayadi. Due to The Catastrophe, the predominant form of combat in the world of Elaat is performed with large metal airships powered by methane, with political tides being determined by naval strength.
The Catastrophe was believed to have occurred thousands of years before the events of the game, when humanity blew up the Moon (called Kharu by historians of the Romani Empire) with nuclear weapons, causing it to shatter and impact the Earth, destroying the climate and wiping out all traces of advanced technology and artificial intelligence.
HighFleet takes place in a Dune-inspired post-apocalyptic future where humanity has returned to feudal-style governments on a ravaged planet Earth, known contemporarily as Elaat, following an event known as The Catastrophe. The game involves the player commanding a fleet of metal airships in a dieselpunk post-apocalyptic future Earth in an attempt to seize a rebellious region rumored to have access to a nuclear reactor. HighFleet, styled as HighFleet: Deus in Nobis ( Latin for "God within us") is an action-adventure strategy video game developed by Konstantin Koshutin and published by MicroProse.
