Lone Huntress — P.A. Cadaver

The future is exciting. Starships travel the infinite void between worlds, ferrying cargo of all sizes, from entire asteroids of water ice being tugged into a new orbit, to armored suitcases containing hard copies of valuable data and items of sentimental value. The future is luxurious. Starship passengers lack for nothing, and entire world cultures have been created by those with the freedom to make the world they want. Arboreal Eden. Academic Mecca. Planet of Furries. The future is freedom. Citizens of the Federation defend their civil rights to the death, and a government conceived in the ashes of fallen tyranny safeguards against its own corruption. The future is dangerous. Pirates prey on ships with their cargoes and their passengers to take whatever they wish. Hostile aliens spread between planets as they once spread through the asteroids in a gas torus. And politicians are still vulnerable to corruption. In the future, remember to keep your laser pistol and lightsaber close at hand when you travel. And always remember to keep the contact information of a good bounty hunter bookmarked.
