Inspired by the "Traveller" RPG and the 80s computer game "Elite" you will explore the planets of the galaxy looking for and making the most of trading opportunities.
But the void between the planets is not safe. You'll find it inhabited by Pirates willing to attack you and take your burnt out spaceship as salvage. So you'll need to upgrade your ships defences while struggeling to meet the payments.
With the huge cost of defenses and ship upgrades will you be tempted to risk carrying illegal cargos? If you risk it, you'll have to watch out for the Interstella Police who patrol the unfriendly space above the skies of many planets.
