****

After the Earth was used up, humanity found a new solar system and hundreds of new Earths were terra-formed and colonized.

After the War, many of the Independents who had fought and lost drifted to the edges of the system, far from Alliance control. Out here, people struggled to get by with the most basic technologies; a ship would bring you work, a gun would help you keep it. A captain's goal was simple: find a crew, find a job, keep flying.
