About the game
Your employer had some sensitive data he sent around the normal Alliance routes—that meant traveling through Reaver space. The transport had a full complement of passengers hopeful for a new life on the rim worlds at the fringes of Alliance control. They didn’t get what was expected. The craft is a total loss. It remains structurally intact, but has been dead in the water for weeks until its discovery and it bears the distinct marks of Reaver boarding. The find came across the Cortex and your employer needs you to collect his data before the Alliance arrives to claim it—and he’s willing to pay you well for your efforts. —description from the publisher
