From publisher blurb: Out in the deepest regions of space humanity has begun colonizing worlds. These regions of space are wild and untamed. Alien species control many of these worlds and have their own ambitions. Pirates operate with impunity. There is no empire to control the space lanes. Worlds fight amongst themselves for control of small regions of space. For adventurous souls this wild frontier is a place to carve one's own fortune out of the chaos. For weaker souls this frontier is a nightmare. This sector of space is created for use with the Cepheus Engine line of products.
