Your home planet has disappeared centuries ago, and only a few of your people remain now. Your ancestors were taken by the Kyuuans to work for them as slaves and every following generation has been working for them.

Kyuu has six natural satellites on which everything the Kyuuans need is produced. Of course, no good Kyuuan would ever accept to work in a factory. So, they all live on their huge planet and have other races do the dirty, tiring production work. They first tried to mix aliens of different races, but there were problems. That's why, in the end, they divided their workforce by people, each on a satellite, producing the kind of products they are best suited to make.

The Kyuuans also take great pleasure in making their slaves’ lives miserable. One of the ways they found to do so is to deprive them of various useful products. The robots and towels produced on one satellite won’t benefit to the people living on the satellite where Choylent and spice come from. And vice-versa.

In this unfair world, it is better to comply with the strongest’s rule. However, you decided to try and do your best to improve your people’s fate. That means a solitary life of trade and, why not, piracy. Whatever happens to other races doesn’t really matter, so long as your people get what they need.

Of course, all this is very illegal, but, luckily enough, the Kyuuans are a very corrupted kind. So, if you ever get caught, you always have a choice to pay your way out.

In this game, you're moving your ship from one satellite to another in an attempt to bring back some products to the satellite(s) where your race is held captive. You can also attack transport ships to get those products, but this will increase the risk of getting caught by the police. You also have a hand of cards to help you in your task or prevent others from achieving their goal before you do.
