State of the Galaxy
Posted on Oct 4, 2011 | 0 comments
In the far future galaxy of Free Spacer, it is year 362 of the Immortal Age, the dawn of the sixth galactic age. The Milky Way is an archipelago of balkanised Quadrants each with a powerful Cardinal Society at their centres.
While Ether Technology’s ability to manipulate and fold Space-Time has linked these powerful Societies uncomfortably close together, it is their overflowing populations that enflamed the cold war. Anagathics, the greatest achievement of Biotechnology, has permitted a vast population of alien species to move beyond aging and avoid nearly all natural death. The result of these two powerful technologies is the powerful central Societies locking their doors and ejecting the unlawful and unwanted into the periphery. A periphery that has become the prime battle ground for an underground war between disparate factions.
Orion Quadrant
In Orion Quadrant, the Cardinal Society is a powerful corporate state known as the CMA, but unlike its rival Quadrants the CMA has little direct control over their rim. Outside the Central Clusters, the Orion Quadrant is a wild place fractioned into rival provinces, independent colonies, and corporate holdings. With laws, currency, and customs that seldom reach beyond a single Sector, the Orion Quadrant is at the heart of the cold war with every faction manoeuvring for power through politics, intrigue, and even blatant military engagements.
You are commissioned as the Crew a Free Spacer Ship, the disposable pawns of a Patron Faction used to perform missions with the safety of deniability. You probably won’t die, few die anymore, but there are worse things than death.
