Great story
Many species to meet and learn of, each with their own personality, history and goals. Could they help you? That is for you to find out.

A vast universe to explore
With hundreds of stars, each with many planets, some of them with a surface that can be landed on, some of those harboring life, some of which is even intelligent, there are always places to visit and "people" to talk to.
