Parsec

8532 Nearly a hundred years after the War of the Galaxies, which ended in the near total destruction of the all living species, planets which are inhabitable and the near destructions of the whole universe, had ended. The survivors are homeless nomads who roam through the universe always on the look out for resources and allies. Anarchy is everywhere; there is no real government or law enforcement anymore and no mercy for the weak. Life is hart and full of privations. In the face of all that, the question about who started the war has long lost its meaning. There are no victors, no conquered; in this war everyone lost. The planets are still uninhabitable, geological instable or contaminated from radiation, poisons or biological weapons. One lives on spaceships which cruise the universe in fleets and alliances of fleets under a command of one captain. Food comes out of replicators, ore is found deep down in those otherwise barren planets making them an interesting target for everyone.  Large space stations where build in orbits of some planets. Here, all the business is done which makes huge profits for those space stations. Who ever controls the space stations controls the marked. The technical requirements to build new stations, has been lost in the war, one is glad to be able to repair and maintain them. Those space stations are constantly fought over. As a solo fighter there is not much chance in this game about power and wealth to go to the very top, most captains search for protection in the mass and form alliances with other same minded captains and the combined force that it will give them. The few determined solo captains do still have an outsider chance with their fleet of spaceships.  The situation is not as dismal as it seems. Big chances are there waiting, for those brave enough to take them.  For everyone it is possible to found an alliance, attract new members or join another alliance. With the take over of a space station comes wealth and power to one and more than one has already capitalized on the wars between the alliances and factions.   Space stations are the central meeting point for nearly all areas of the new life and for ones fleet. Merchant ship are coming and out bringing ore, weapons and space ships which one can buy or sell here. In the bigger space stations one can register their new alliance or pick up missions to obtain certain commodities to the space station. Courages pilots can enlist themselves here for defensive missions to maintain this fragile new found peace. The pirates are lurking everywhere, no matter what faction you belong to, this is the common enemy. They forage the planets, ambush trading ships and even try to ransack the space stations.  But out of the after war chaos slowly a new community is forming, whose dream is to make the planets habitable again
