Stellar Horizons is a universe of science fiction excitement, exploration, and adventure. Set nearly a half century in the future, it is a world where an unready mankind has been thrust in the center of a vast galactic stage populated by exotic alien civilizations.

For the past fifty years two generations of Humanity have been forced to rapidly adapt to a hostile universe with little experience and few advantages. These people endured two brutal inter-stellar wars, encountered no less than five intelligent alien species, and made greater technological progress than ever before in history. It is on their shoulders that the explorers of today now stand as they face the infinite blackness before them.

Your story takes place in the during the uneasy peace following the Hydrax invasion where the Earth itself was invaded by a marauding alien horde.

Most of the action takes place deep ranges of the Terran Frontier - the vast area of space beyond the Outer Colonies. A frontier that was claimed after the last war in an attempt to ensure that Humanity had a place to expand among stars populated by advanced alien species. It was also to reassure the people of Earth that the dangerous aliens could be kept at bay and no longer threaten them.

In reality the nations of Earth have no way to explore, let alone enforce their claim over all space 90 light years from Earth. They instead use the uneasy peace to fortify their tenuous hold on established colonies along well patrolled jump routes, all the while intriguing against each other. Against this backdrop colonists, scientists, and former soldiers attempt to make a living.

It is they who found and work for the corporations that build civilization on the frontier. It is they who bravely venture off the known jump routes to survey worlds orbiting unknown suns so that Humanity can push his frontier outward. It is they who battle unknown dangers that threaten mankind in the empty blackness of the deep range. And now you can join them in exploring this universe of great risks and unimaginable rewards.
