Space. A scary frontier. Yet, it is a frontier full of promise.
Ancient wrecks, asteroids with rich potential, expansive debris of old battles, and ruins full of wonder. Space is waiting for those who are willing to risk their lives to plunder its riches. And space has many surprises for those who dare brave the risks.
It is a tough job, yes. It is a dangerous job, definitely. It is also a lucrative job, of course! That's why only the toughest, the meanest, the best men and women step forward to be the first to brave the frontier and plunder its untouched resources.
