The year is 0158 of the Toward Stars Calendar ...
Humankind has reached the stars only to find out that they are not alone in the universe. Alien races abound, some peaceful, some not. Interstellar trade has been established, the colonization of worlds is now commonplace, and technology has advanced beyond anyone's wildest imaginations.
In this new world, three groups vie for power...
The Space Forces, attempting to bring law to a lawless space. Part police force, part military, they protect the space lanes from pirates and criminals alike.
The Pirate Guilds, divided themselves, but more powerful than anyone wants to admit. Posessing superior technology, limitless wealth, and powerful Tao magic, the Pirate Guilds seem unstoppable.
Finally, those known only as Outlaws. Not an organized group in the sense of the others, but rather a group of individuals cooperating out of neccessity in the cold depths of space. Some seek fame, some seek treasure, others seem revenge ... but they are Outlaws because of what they crave most: adventure. |
