STORY
A new form of fuel has been discovered within the clouds of various nebulas and utilized for space travel bringing a rush for dominance over the budding industry. Throughout the galaxy, a number of mining operations have sprung up to harvest and refine this new fuel.
This rush to harvest fuel has made the concept of security nearly non-existent leading to massive collaborations of corsairs that patrol the galaxy looking for potential mines to raid and ships to hijack. Once a scout has found a vulnerable target, the group will warp waves of ships to its location to overwhelm and plunder.
Seeing an opportunity to satisfy the desire for money and combat, mercenaries began to offer protection services to mining operations. These mercenary contracts operate on a pay per-kill basis; depositing payment into the mercenary’s account instantly upon destroying a combative ship and often provide a contract completion bonus.
