Welcome to the World of Pathika. The year is about 2700, exact dates are hard to know. Earth is lost. Near 200 years without a homeworld does that to a species. Humanity now journeys the stars, the colonies where the poorest of the poor live, under the iron fisted rule of the Admiralty Dynasts, are death traps of genetically modified terraforming species and bacteria, and almost all of humanity prefers to live in the gap between the stars, whether as a part of the philosophically distinct Phyles. Then there are the Nomads, the most common lifestyle of humans aboard vast Live-Ships, journeying from world to world and star-to-star using the powerful and deadly Warp-Shunt, a method of travel that if misused could annihilate entire planets in a burst of deadly radiation upon arrival... too bad humanity isn’t the only group using it.
In this era, almost everyone lives in space! Naturally life bearing planets are rare, and those that exist are almost always hostile in the extreme to anything that didn’t evolve on them! For terraformed planets, unforeseen combinations of natural, genetically modifed, and alien DNA more often than not turn them into death traps. You are the captain of one of the nomadic space vessels crossing the stars. Hiring contracts from 9 separate factions to help your populace plunder the resources of the various planets across the stars in order to survive. Remember, your ship depends on these resources you bring in, and every battle you lose costs lives. You are the captain of this vessel, a representative of your race, and the leader of your little burning candle of life in the eternal blackness of space.
