Campaign updates05 / The known and the unknown
200 light years
of human space.
A foothold in the dark.
Settled worlds. Distant colonies. Other civilisations with histories of their own.
Across human space, old institutions hold on and new ambitions take shape. Out on the margins, distance changes everything.
The map tells you how far we have travelled.
It cannot tell you what we have missed.
A glimpse of the setting
We abandoned earth in the throes of World War 3, and the 13 "Hope" missions went to the stars to find new homes. Not all of them made it.
300 years later, worlds range from inhabited iceballs where life lives in pressurised habitats, to rich agrarian worlds. Corporations, governments, civilians and criminals of humanity and various alien races compete and collaborate for success. And everywhere between - the darkness.
06 / Around the table
Behind the signal.
Bring your crew.
