The Scavenge Corsair Collective

The year is 2742. Earth, as you remember it, is gone. Consumed. A forgotten myth whispered only in digitized archives. What remains is The Scavenge, a sprawling, orbital scrapyard of derelict starships, broken colonies, and the rusted husks of lost technology, orbiting a dying red dwarf star. You are a member of the Corsair Collective, a band of opportunistic, morally ambiguous salvagers eking out a precarious existence in the void. Forget grand empires and galactic federations; here, survival hinges on your ability to outwit, outmaneuver, and occasionally, outright obliterate your rivals. The Collective operates on the fringes, a loose confederation of captains, engineers, mercenaries, and… well, things that might have once been human. Your ship, the *Rust Bucket* (yes, really), isn't much to look at, but she's yours. Patchworked together from salvaged parts and sheer stubbornness, she's seen better days, or perhaps no good days at all. Your crew… well, they're a colorful bunch. There's "Knuckles" Malone, your grizzled engineer with a penchant for explosives and a surprisingly tender heart. And then there's Zephyr, your enigmatic navigator whose augmented senses allow her to chart courses through the treacherous debris fields. And let's not forget Glitch, the half-sentient AI installed in the *Rust Bucket*'s core, who's more interested in composing melancholic poetry than optimizing energy flow. Life in The Scavenge is a constant gamble. One day you're stripping a long-dead warship for valuable alloys, the next you're running from ruthless corporate pirates who want what you've got. A single wrong move can mean the difference between a full cargo hold and a slow, agonizing death in the cold vacuum. Your current mission? A cryptic distress signal originating from a long-lost experimental research station, drifting on the outer fringes of the Scavenge. Rumor has it, the station was working on something incredibly valuable, something that could change the balance of power in the sector. But powerful forces are also interested in this forgotten piece of history. Getting to it first, and more importantly, getting out alive, will be the ultimate test of your skills, your luck, and the loyalty of your crew. So, Captain, are you ready to dive into the wreckage and carve out your own destiny in The Scavenge? The void awaits.
