East India Company (A sea farring RP)

This story dates back to the victorian and imperial age- when the East India Company was still in power.

In the victorian era, a trading ship hapily sails in open waters.
Yet seconds later, its blasted to bits, everything floating everywhere.
another minute or so later, a much larger a more heavily armed ship sails by, and picks up anything valuable. this is how quickly your life could end in this world.
It is a time of trading and vast wealth.
A time of advenure, exploration, and discovery.
And mostly,
A time of warfare.
This is the victorian era-
A time when empires rise and fall,
A time when trading empires rise and fall.
And this time around- its your destiny.
Will you start your own trading company and make a fortune?
Or will you fall, your ships set ablaze by pirates and rivals?
Will you join a company, and make a nice living as a sailor?
Or will you die at sea by musket and cannon fire?
Its your choice. welcome to the victorian era.
