After awaking from cryonic sleep for over 300 years, you discover your parents are dead and you've been picked as the pilot of a salvaged pre\-war vessel\.  Quickly renamed as the UFS Intrepid, the experimental craft was pieced together by engineers working in the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, Old Earth, Terran System\.     Your first mission is to go where no one has gone for hundreds of years: to the very station that destroyed planet Earth\.  Soon you discovered you're recruited into the UFSE, a growing multi\-species stellar federation that is just beginning to explore the galaxy near their homeworlds\.  Powerful alien species and the run\-of\-the\-mill riff\-raff face down in the cold blackness of space\.

Your job is to go out and explore the galaxy and bring back whatever artifacts you can find\.  To fuel your vessel and build out its exofighters, your crew will spend time mining asteroids and exploring planetary bodies\.  After a long day of work, you might treat them to a burger at Moburger, the local interstellar fast food franchise\.  This game has been in development for several years\.

Plans include to provide Workshop support, once the core game is complete, to allow players to mod the game\.
