Your saga begins as a prisoner aboard a transport ship from which you escape in a commandeered escape pod, crash-landing on Maku — a forsaken world in an uncharted region of space. This planet becomes the foundation of your odyssey as you convert it into a stronghold and base of operations. From there, you set forth into space, exploring distinct worlds teeming with their own factions and unique stories. Your mission: unite the sector's backwater and abandoned planets to overthrow the oppressive rule of Star Frontier, the powerful mega-corporation that once imprisoned you.
