Introduction
The year is 2778, and Humanity rules the known Galaxy with an iron fist under the not-so-tender auspices of the Unified Systems Protectorate, a meta-corporate entity which controls almost all trade within known space. For more than 500 years, the Protectorate has been an unstoppable juggernaut, crushing all who oppose it, subjugating alien races, dismantling governments, and rooting out dissidence and subversion. But the Protectorate is a victim of its own success. With no external enemies to fight, and economic competition replaced by corporate warfare and assigned monopolies, the Protectorate has been culturally and technologically stagnant for nearly 300 years. Crippled by lack of progress, wracked with infighting between its smaller corporations, and rotted to the core by byzantine politics, nepotism and petty aristocratic rivalries, the mighty Systems Protectorate is a slowly dying behemoth.
Sensing the beast’s impending doom, numerous groups have risen to pick at the corpse. Chief among them in notoriety and numbers is the Galactic Liberation Front. Terrorists, freedom fighters or thugs, depending on who’s telling the tale, the GLF is composed of people from every race and every world in known space. Rag-tag, disorganized, and varying widely in equipment and training, GLF fighters are united by their fanatical devotion to the GLF’s ideology, and their hatred for the Protectorate. Still, they have proven highly successful in their campaign against the Protectorate, with a wide swath of the Galaxy under their black and red banner. While many believe that the GLF is the last, best hope for freedom in the Milky Way, others fear that their brutal tactics and fanaticism are little better than the Protectorate they would replace.
As the GLF and other rebel groups have risen, the Protectorate has entered a state approaching panic. Desperate to crush the subversion, they have cracked down on dissidence and disloyalty, sending millions from across their empire to penal colonies like Paradise. Where once these death worlds were reserved for the worst, now even those guilty of minor crimes and rebellions are eligible for a one-way ticket to the frontier. These newcomers have found themselves at the mercy of the hardened criminal population which has inhabited these worlds for generations, and face increasingly worse conditions as the factions of various warlords battle for control. With the situation on Paradise and other colonies worsening, combined with the increasing likelihood of being caught in the crossfire between GLF and Protectorate forces, the urgency of escape has risen exponentially.
Your characters are prisoners on Paradise. Guilty as sin or wrongfully convicted, born on Paradise or fresh off the boat, rebels, criminals or merely caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, you must band together and fight to survive and escape this hell. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Welcome to Paradise.
