While politicians and special interest groups debated the effects of global climate change and pollution, no one paid attention to other signs of an impending doom. Earth, exploited beyond its means, could no longer sustain life.
Disease spread across the world when a series of storms and environmental disasters knocked out major utilities, food production, and waste treatment. The fragile societies of the planet toppled. The people of Earth started dying as available food and water dwindled away and the air grew toxic.
Suffering from a century of apathy and neglect, the planet quickly became uninhabitable.

It is a time of great strife and turmoil. Rival Pirate Barons struggle for the last resources of the galaxy to sell to the highest bidder. Pirate Barons employ thugs and galactic scum to fill their ranks, but their greatest weapon is the rare Kalsan Mercenary. Led by the Kalsan, roving squadrons plunder rusting space stations and pillage frontier colonies for riches and wealth.
However, not all Kalsan choose to profit from the misery caused by the Baronage. A small group called the Kalsan Alliance carries a message of hope for a better tomorrow.
