You know the story, right? Earth got used up. We found a new solar system and terraformed hundreds of new Earths. The Central planets formed the Alliance and asked everyone to play nice and unite under their rule. Didn't quite work out that way...
It's 2517, the Unification War ended 6 years ago (2511). The Alliance won, an armistice was signed, and the Independents (those who lost) they drifted out to the edges of the system, away from Alliance control. Out there on the Rim, folks can live their lives, struggle to make ends meet, or band together to survive. Some find a ship, gather a crew and find work to keep flying.
And some sort of steal one that others left lying around, they fix her up and somehow end up missing a brother as part of the trade. Now those misfit bunch of folks are following a trail of crumbs about the Verse to try and find out just what exactly they've wandered into...
-------------
Seven months ago (March 2517), the Verse seemed to be feeling somewhat kind. Two people who had lost almost everything found an abandoned Firefly on a desolate rocky moon. They buried some bodies, called in some back-up and managed to get her up and running.
Now, Fortune has flipped that coin and the echo of their luck is rippling through the lives of those who stole from her surface and all those who travel with them.
Step on up, and join the journey. Be part of the problem, seek the solution or sign up with the rivals.

Mission: Oh, Give Me a Home on The Range
Posted on Sat Jan 6th, 2024 @ 11:16am by Alden Loxley & Cooper O'Reilly & Arca Loxley & Daiyu & Jonas Bailey & Spencer Wainwright & Whit
In the cold aftermath of the exodus of Kindra’s ride back to civilisation, Alden hadn’t expected to have his heart squeezed with a chokehold from a second, preceding, romantic hell. He, Spence and Daiyu had busily pondered the technical nature of the voice that emanated from Echo’s console. The one…

Most of the time, Alden was pretty easygoing, amicable, receptive to others' opinions and keen to make things roll along smooth-like with everyone on board literally working together. Current events, however were conspiring against his mellow demeanour and definitely edging him towards somewhere south of cranky.
A tearful and awkwardly…

Day had shuffled into evening, bringing Port Bridger a whole different mood and manner of low-life. Multicoloured lights mutedly marked the retail sector with their pale yellows and blues, while brighter shone the landing bays in bright orange and pale green as they flagged with permission or denial for each…

Mission: Oh, Give Me a Home on The Range
Posted on Sat Sep 16th, 2023 @ 5:58pm by Alden Loxley & Jacy Wright
Out beyond the vast ranch house and sitting all alone in close (but not too close) proximity, Fortune's Echo sat at a jaunty angle, locked up tight in the still evening darkness. She was quiet, systems powered down and resting, just the filters running on eco-mode and some solar panels…

It had been a messed up kind of treasure hunt to grab the bigger parts of the starboard VTOL engine. Now, they were down to searching for any and all other pieces of metal that might belong to the battered little Firefly, related or otherwise to said engine and its…
