A FIRST LOOK: MULTIMEDIA:
Saturn's Rings is the story of one of the last cradles of humanity, trapped inside an environmental bubble, called an archology, on the east coast of North America.  It is the story of the dreams and conflicts which take place in a contained world where madness reigns supreme; where at any moment the rings of political power inside the microcosm can snap and reshape themselves; where dealing with terrors from outside and within are part of the daily lifestyle of those that remain on a battered, desolate, death-filled earth. 

Everything is swallowed whole by a mysterious red gas, called metathorine, which reproduces itself by swallowing life giving oxygen.  All plant and animal life on the surface of the earth are gone and a vast unlivable desert, littered by the tops of battered skyscrapers and the tint of thick, acidic red gas, is all that remains. 

Before the death of earth, thirteen massive bastions of humanity were constructed to preserve some of what mankind had accomplished.  The first of these was called the Saturn archology, named after the scientist whom designed it.  Decades after its construction, after the horror that was the apocalypse, Saturn archology stands isolated from its twelve sisters.  But the isolation of the citizens of Saturn manifests itself on many levels.  The dome of the Saturn Archology is separated into two sectors, completely cut off from one another.  Above, the leaders of the populous, called the Uppers, look down on their subjects secretly, utilizing countless hidden portals to watch and listen.  Their only voice to the "normal" populous is called the Envoy, a fulcrum of sorts whom relays orders and information between the two separate communities. 

In a desperate effort, an unprecedented construction project called Pandora is begun to re-establish contact with the other twelve archologies.  Seconds after completion that effort is destroyed by a mysterious core meltdown which also takes the lives of two of Saturn's leaders (an Upper and the all important Saturn Envoy), leaving the power structure of the archology in total disarray.
