Opening Narration[]
"While the Galactic Empire expanded its power, and began absorbing neighbouring star systems, some of the outer frontier planets maintained independent governments. The third planet in the Tau Ceti system, Sea of the Morning Star, was a newly settled frontier planet. As with most newly settled planets, once generations passed, and its population increased, relations with its overseer, the Stellar Alliance, worsened. And a war of independence began. To complement their meager fleet, the government of the Sea of the Morning Star issued a new type of edict, the Letter of Marque. Papers in hand, space pirates attacked Stellar Alliance vessels, greatly contributing to the revolution's success. This story begins more than one hundred years later, the war having ended in a surprising fashion."
