It is the year 3011. Civilization has collapsed and Earth is a barren wasteland. A handful of surviving corporate bosses secretly build a starship bound for a newly discovered galaxy of habitable planets. A group of homeless rebels cracks the codes, steals the ship, and makes the jump themselves. Arriving with almost nothing, they must claim a planet for humanity, build a galactic empire from scratch, and contend with rival species who have the same ambitions.
