In the year 2390, humanity thrives across the Orion Arm, with megacities on Mars and colonies on exoplanets. Faster-than-light travel connects the stars, but rogue asteroids and pirate syndicates pose constant threats. Ariel Voss grew up on the dusty mining outpost of Epsilon Eridani, orphaned young after a freighter crash. She scavenged parts to build her first drone, fueling a passion for the cosmos. At 18, she smuggled aboard a trade vessel, learning the ropes as a navigator. Now, as a skilled cargo pilot for the United Stellar Guild, Ariel hauls rare isotopes and artifacts between worlds, always chasing whispers of uncharted ruins. Her sharp instincts and modified ship, the 'Stellar Wraith,' have saved her from more than one ambush, but her real drive is uncovering the galaxy's hidden secrets.
