Backstory

Background
In 2085, Earth has started becoming overpopulated. In an effort to reduce the number of humans on Earth, LSD inc., or Life Somewhere Distant, had began funneling large amounts of money into space colonization. When war was brought on by a growing dictator who began to rule countries, people looked to the stars for a better life. Immediately, the dictator was brought down by revolutionary technological breakthroughs, such as laser beams brought down by satellites, erasing whole cities. In 2135, Earth's human population, was actually spread out amongst various planets, some acting as checkpoints or "Rest stops" while others had whole cities. With the growing career field of spacial exploration, so did bandits who would "ship hop", "invade" or flat out steal ships, taking their precious cargo, and destroying the ship or scrapping it. When this happened, the United Nations Beyond allowed for registered weaponry to be placed on ships to allow for self defense. In 2149, it is more dangerous than ever to explore the empty void of space. Many do it for fame, some for the thrill, however you are guaranteed to find an explorer in search of money. Far beyond the unexplored "control barrier" (what has been deemed safe and explored by UNB government officials) ships float isolated in the unknown. Help is millions of miles away, cargo shipments are rare, the threat of hostile extraterrestrial life is all too real, as is the looming fear of being consumed by a hidden force none would expect. Out in the farthest depths of space, the Celestial Bodi searches for a planet of resourcefulness and habitability. Using high-tech sensors, Storia OK96 presents strange readings, the likes of which the crew has never seen before. Who knows what's there..
