Setting Guide
 |
In the dark night of a distant future¸ the shattered remains of Earth drift through the cold void of space. The shadows of the past have been driven away¸ and the dark clouds at the horizon appear to be man-made. After the Great Netherwar¸ which resulted in the destruction of Earth¸ mankind is restless¸ scattered across the void¸ bereft of its cradle. The Sol system became the last safe hideout for outcasts both mystic and mundane. Known as Vagrants¸ they are rebels to the oppressive might of the Consortium-the government ruling over what's left of Earth and its colonies. True freedom can only be found among the stars¸ the voices of the galactic underground say. To them¸ the war isn't over. It has only just begun.
Ride hybrid ships through astral space connecting planets and galaxies¸ wield awesome mystic powers¸ nethertech relics¸ and cutting-edge technology! Take on the role of a restless wanderer-someone living on the fringes of galactic society¸ scraping by in a war-torn system or even stealing other people's stuff. Whether a misfit¸ scoundrel¸ mercenary¸ pirate¸ idealist¸ explorer¸ or just someone who walked away from his home in search of adventure: you are part of the galactic underground. Fight the nightmares that invaded the universe¸ start a revolution against the fascistic and corrupted Consortium government and explore space beyond the Veil...
