Some planets have joined into loose alliances and confederations, not quite a government, but an attempt to restore peace and order. Some areas are still wild and lawless, where only the ones with no value in their life venture.

Fortunes will be made, worlds will be conquered.

Empires will be formed.

As you try to make your way through space, you come to inherited a small freighter, known universally as the Deocron 50 - once the staple of trade with in a solar system.
