In a vast galaxy where order and chaos coexist, you play as an interstellar scavenger.
Travel between planets, gather resources, interact with different factions, and build your own way of surviving in deep space. Each planet features its own storylines and events, and your decisions shape how those stories unfold.
With the empire hunting you down and space pirates lurking across the galaxy, every choice becomes a balance between risk and reward.
