About the adventure
This is a longform narrative adventure set in the lawless frontier region of Distal Space. The frontier is rich with resources and potential, but factions of corpro-states and galactic monarchies compete for total control. Conflict simmers under the surface. They all pretend to collaborate in the mutual development of the area, there is not open war…yet. But all are sharpening their knives You, a group of elite Lancer Mech Pilots, enter the scene as warrior agents of one of the main factions, or 3rd-party mercenaries, and quickly get embroiled in the opening shots of this long-simmering conflict. This adventure offers a lot of freedom of choice. The ultimate fate of the region, it's riches, and the people living their hinges on your choices and successes. You'll contribute to large and small battles between absurdly powerful galactic state entities, explore pristine frontier planets, and make or break the fortunes of frontier space.
