The game is set in the alternative 1990s when Earth has been industrialized to its collapsing point, and thus, many have fled to other stars. You will have to take the role of the Marauders and take your ships from hostile galactic reaches to survive by any means necessary.  

You can either play alone or gear up with three friends and will be able to upgrade your equipment on the fly while looking for loot from raids and killing others.
