Space Colony

The year’s 2064, and space colonization is dominated by large mining companies. There is no law in deep space. Pirates and mercenaries roam free.

Set in Space Colony, the board game universe. Rand Bedford suddenly becomes the CEO of his father’s intergalactic mining corporation, and must find his way in a sea of shifting sand. Stuck between political diplomacy, and the iron fist of warships; Rand must find his father’s killer, and protect the Gemini Mining Company.

Rand’s college sweetheart further complicates, his life by “accidently” boarding a transport for Hydrus Prime, Earth’s most distant outpost. And then there is Vanessa Catari, the beautiful genetically enhanced heir, of a rival corporation, whose temper is matched only by her fiery red hair, and blazing green eyes.

Maybe Rand should expand his father’s empire. Maybe he should colonize more planets and increase company revenue. Maybe he should buy more warships and drive out the competition by force. After all, that may be what they are planning to do to Gemini.

Earth will not care about the battles in deep space. Earth is hungry for raw materials, and will buy all they can from distant planets. There are plenty of starships and mining platforms for sale at Star Tech, at Mars shipyards. All that is needed is money.

Finding colonists is easy. The waiting list of strong men and women committed to homestead in deep space is in the millions. All these new pioneers need, is transportation on board a cargo ship, and a mining platform to operate. Space colonists do not care about the power struggles between intergalactic mining companies. They would be just as happy to work for the competition. Space colonists just want to homestead for themselves, for their family, and for the human race.
