In the 26th century, a planet-cracker vessel mining the world of Aegis VII called the USG Ishimura discovers a Red Marker buried near an abandoned colony. EarthGov immediately terminates the Marker project and abandons all research stations where the work had been done, covering up their locations, knowing as they did that the Followers of Unitology would desperately want to seek these Markers out in order to advance their beliefs and bring about Convergence. The EarthGov researchers also discover that the electromagnetic fields sent by the Marker and its duplicates cause living people to suffer paranoia and hallucinations, while also causing the dead to reanimate, becoming " Necromorphs", biological monstrosities which rise to attack the living. They also believe that the Markers grants eternal life and will help to unify humanity, as to "make us whole", in an event known as the "Convergence". Unitologists believe that that by worshipping the Marker, they will discover the true origin and meaning of human life.
EarthGov assassinates Altman hoping to quell the news, but it is too late: Altman is seen as a martyr, and his belief of what the Marker means for humanity form the basis of a new cult-like religion, Unitology, that rapidly spreads across Earth and the colonies. The project was highly classified, but the lead researcher Michael Altman leaks its existence to the world. Work begins to reverse engineer the Marker on various research stations across the colonies, but they are forced to use bismuth instead of an unidentified alien material, resulting in these duplicates being colored red instead of black as the original. The Marker emits a persistent electromagnetic field from seemingly no source, which researchers believe could be used to provide limitless energy and solve Earth's ecological crisis. During the 23rd century, EarthGov researchers find an alien artifact in the Chicxulub crater, which they call the Marker. By the 23rd century, humanity has used up most of Earth's natural resources, and the world governing body, EarthGov, has fleets of "planet crackers", giant mining spaceships that harvest resources by breaking apart other planets, to gather materials for humanity to sustain itself. The Dead Space franchise is set in the future, where humanity has been able to colonize other planets. A remake of the first game is currently under development. After the financial disappointment of 2013's Dead Space 3, no further media for the franchise was made for the remainder of the 2010s.
