It is the year 3105, and humanity has spread to the stars. An authoritarian regime known as “the Sovereign” has long reigned over the Arcturus star system’s planets, moons and space stations with an iron fist. But following nearly a decade of political infighting and civil war, the Sovereign’s grip of Arcturus is starting to slip, opening the door for criminal organizations to proliferate.
You control a young, enterprising criminal syndicate on the fringe of Arcturus, trying to stay under the radar of the Sovereign while competing with other syndicates for money, power, loyal crew and advanced technology. Complete missions, set up criminal operations, and take down anyone that stands in your path to building the most formidable interplanetary criminal empire in the system.
