The Galaxy is in turmoil -- The Junta Secreta and The Wvern Dictatorship clash at every opportunity, and The Outer Galaxy is slowly becoming a place of refuge for many independent settlements. Uncharted systems still pose an extreme threat in The Outer Galaxies as many undiscovered dangers still exist, lurking in the uncharted sections of the galaxy. Crime syndicates have popped up like board-groups in the Inhabited sectors, and they've begun expanding to The Outer Galaxy as well, seeking profit where others seek refuge -- And amidst it all, Freelancers make a living off of solving everybody else's problems, from bounty hunting to political assassinations.
