Star Crew
In the far reaches of a distant future, humanity has long broken free from the confines of Earth. With the stars now within reach, colonies spread across planets, moons, and entire systems. Science and medicine have advanced beyond ancient limitations, and through the revolutionary CRISPER Program, human lifespans stretch far longer than ever before though mortality remains an inevitable truth. But with progress comes conflict. Newly discovered resources hidden throughout the galaxy ignite political tension and territorial greed. Old rivalries flare anew as factions, governments, and corporations clash for control of the wealth scattered among the stars. While countless citizens choose neutrality and cling to peaceful lives within the growing sprawl of civilization, not everyone avoids the chaos. For mercenaries, warlords, pirates, and scavengers, the universe is a battleground and a marketplace. Danger lurks behind every contract, every derelict ship, every shadowed asteroid belt. Yet for those willing to risk everything, the rewards are higher than ever. In this age of expansion and unrest, fortune favors the bold... and the desperate. Some fight for survival. Some fight for power. But many fight simply because in this new era, danger is money.
Coyote
Thousands of years after Earth became uninhabitable, humanity colonized other planets and moons around the solar system. Amid rising crime rate, the Galactic Space Force (GSF) set up a legal contract where registered bounty hunters (known as Coyotes) go after criminals and bring them in alive in return for credits. Wolf is one of the best coyotes in the GSF, but also one of the most hated. He has no care of the damage he causes to people or buildings when pursuing a bounty, leaving the GSF having to compensate those affected by his actions. When the daughter of a senator in The Kingdom becomes the most wanted terrorist in the solar system, the GSF is hired to find her before anyone else does. Willing to look past Wolf's reckless history, the director of the GSF contracts him and other coyotes to find the senator's daughter and take her to the GSF at whatever cost. But with enemies after the same woman, Wolf is forced to trust and rely on his new partners in hopes of getting the biggest payday of his life.Complete
