In the calendar of the lost Earth, it is the thirty-second century. Six hundred years have passed since the psychic Scream destroyed the Terran Mandate.
Near the trailing edge of human space, the Cantor system is dragging itself out of six centuries of Silence. The techno-anarchist collectives of San Borea have ascended from the surface of their icy moon, reclaimed the secrets of the metadimensional spike drive, and are rapidly expanding their grasp across nearby systems. New Zion, in contrast, is a undeveloped desert world, riven by ethnic and religious strife. Asteroid mines, deep-space research stations, and gas-collection platforms dot the remainder of the system.
It is in the depths of this febrile environment that the Moondancer Collective seeks to make their fortune as troubleshooters and conflict resolution agents.
