A disused station at the margin of a crisis system. It is run down and chaoticbut it's still alive. It is now held together by anarchic alliances of ramshackle factions as well as a common desire to escape the grips of corporate control.
You get up every cycle and decide what you want to do with it. You can work in the yard or do a shift at the bar. You can also find rare parts in the market or street food. You can make or break alliances. Find truths. Escape those who hunt you. One cycle at a while, learn how to survive andeventually thrive.
Characters from every walk of life are welcome to the stationto try to make it among the stars. Each character has their own history, whether they are salvagers or hackers, bartenders or street-food sellers. Choose which one you want to support and you'll shape your own future.
To access digital data from decades past, discover new areas, and uncover secrets, hack into the cloud at the station. You have the power to change your destiny. If you are willing to dig into the stations' networks, there is a wealth of corporate secrets and AIs that could be used against you.
