Command your ship and crew as a space pirate, merchant, bounty
hunter, and more. Take total control of your destiny as you
venture through a vast, living universe. Choose your path in a
constantly changing galaxy torn by internal strife, political
intrigue, and alien threats. Will you fly as a pirate
terrorizing the shipping lanes, join the solar wars as a
military captain, or track targets as a fearsome bounty hunter?
The choice is yours in Star Traders: Frontiers.
Customize your ship with more than 300 upgrades. Journey across
an endless procedurally-generated galaxy with a detailed
simulation of political, economic, and personal vendettas. Every
single crew and officer is a full character with personality
traits, history, job, and talents: Watch them grow, manage and
promote them, celebrate their victories – and perhaps even mourn
their deaths.
During the Exodus the survivors of a great war piled into their
hive ships and left the Galactic Core behind in search of a new
home in the stars. Scattered worlds were claimed on the fringe
of the galaxy. Each pocket of survivors held on to an isolated
set of worlds while trying to rebuild under the great law of
Shalun. Three centuries later, technology has brought them back
together again. Discovery of the hyperwarp gates bridged what
was once an unimaginable distance between far-flung colonies,
long-lost families, and political factions.
With that reunification has come great economic prosperity. The
hyperwarp reestablished the transportation of cargo, goods, and
technologies between the quadrants – but it has also brought
great strife. Political rivalries have been rekindled, blood has
been shed in age-old feuds, and the fires of war have been
stoked. Amidst the political infighting, a ruthless revolution
is rising – and the fervent explorers of the hyperwarp have
awoken something that was better left asleep ...
