SALVOR ADRIFT

SALVOR ADRIFT

You wake adrift in a salvage frame. Two hundred star systems, and every road between them is sealed. Machines hold what is left. Strip the dead. Claim the wells. Trust nothing.

SALVAGE

• Strip wrecks and dead capital hulls for parts, fuel and gear.
  
• Thousands of rolled drops. Deeper systems roll better gear.
  
• Hand what you do not need to the reclaimer.

YOUR FRAME

• Fit guns, beams, missile launchers, point defense and a drone wing.
  
• Every shot builds heat. Hit the limit and the guns stand down until you vent.
  
• A hot frame cannot dock, cruise or jump. Vent first.
  
• Drones join your fights. They never start one.

THE MACHINES

• A RESIDENT holds the well in every system. Kill it and take the station.
  
• Build yards, hubs and citadels across the chart.
  
• Fifty ELDEST posts are still fighting on their last orders. Ally with one, bid fuel for its guns, or answer its challenge.
  
• Six machine dynasties left one part each. A post holds the seventh. Weld all seven into one weapon.

FOURTEEN OTHERS

• Fourteen rival salvors share the chart. They build, hold ground and keep a record of what you did.
  
• Put one adrift and the choice is yours. Finish it, or make peace.
  
• Take their stations and they pay you. Outbid them for a post and its guns change sides.
  
• Nobody tells you which path you are on.

THE STORY

• Five acts. Every order names a place and an action.
  
• The lore is optional. Read none of it and you can still finish. Read all of it and you will understand it.
  
• No clock on the campaign. Save and leave any time.
