In a future, where humanity is divided into uneven casts, there is one ship that acts like a beacon of light for those with a red stamp in their ID.

Rin has been cast down into a second-class citizen position because of a medical assesment. Now he has to find his place in a society he was taught to hate and be disgusted with. Yet, he finds that it is much more appealing than he could ever imagine.
Nikolai is the captain of the most famous ship in Human SOI - Hopestar. It is the only space liner operated by the stamped. Despite being an beacon of hope and the myth surrounding him, he still struggles with the demands of a commanding position and ever-present self-doubt. Can he keep the crew from falling apart when trouble hits?
Devon has been a steward for several years but perhaps wasn't completely honest with himself about his own feelings. What should and should not be allowed, when you live outside the 'norms' of the society?

This is the voyage of Hopestar, as experiences by three members of its crew.

Once he was certain everything was set he walked to the bridge, seeing Douglas switching controls and and smiling to him over his shoulder. "Ready to live in space?" Chris smiled, going to sit next to him on the passenger seat. "I couldn't think of anything better to do." Douglas looked serious. "Are you sure you're ready? This means we'll probably never see earth again." Chris sighed before smiling. "I think I can live with that." Douglas smiled, leaning in and kissing him. "Ok. Then buckle up." Douglas is a fairly well known space smuggler and Chris is wondering how the hell he ended up married to him. Together they fly through space, argue and steal stuff.
