Story Line:

The universe is not what it once was. Governments have collapsed, culture and advances have been undermined by the wars. Some planets have joined into loose alliances, not quite a government, but an attempt to restore peace and order. Some areas are still wild and lawless, where only the brave venture.

Fortunes can be made, worlds can be conquered.

Empires will be formed.

You come into (inherited) a small trader, known universally as the Deocron 50, once the staple of trade with in a solar system, but most systems no longer have 2 planets capable of trade, let alone anything worth trading for, or ways to pay for other worldly goods, something, even as simple as food, and water. Taking your family’s small collection of interstellar credits, you set out, to restore the wealth and fame of your ancestors.

Slow, lightly armed and armored, only the fool-hearty set out beyond their star system in a Deocron 50 in search of wealth and fortune. Although you start with one ship, and can do quite well with a single ship, owning a fleet of ships is the surest way to riches and fame.


Instead of the typical time limit for a free account, far reaches allows free members to play on, with a limit in the number of level of ships they can own.
