## Campaign Synopsis
Humanity has spread to the stars. Humanity has lost record of what happened to Earth, but it is believed to have
suffered a total biosphere collapse, and in its waning days, spaceships were launched in all directions, humanity's
last chance to find survival among the black, abandoning their doomed world.
Many were invariably lost in the act of desperation, victim to the emptiness of space. The known survivors reached Xi
Tauri, and spread among its many planets. Waking from cyro-sleep, the original explorers staked out humanity's new
future among biomes hospitable and not, establishing agrarian villages, land stations, and basic terraformed lands.
As time has passed, humanity has salvaged its roots, good and ill. Travel between the stellar system and its planets is
long but commonplace. Civilization resides in hundreds of scattered settlements across the planets, moons, occasional
asteroid or comet, and space stations. The system's government focuses on a core set of planets, exploiting the
resources of the rest of the system for only its settlements. The outer worlds rely on local law, and some remnants of
the initial settlement of the system still drift in orbit, latent.

* Looking for ideas on what you guys would like to play, at the moment --- unaffiliated explorers and problem solvers,
organized (government or corp) away team with some kind of goal, scavengers/privateers, rebels on the outskirts
fighting tyranny?
* That'll probably affect the scope of the system/universe, e.g. if there's many uncharted systems in play (with
cryosleep or a *lot* of downtime), our system, a Firefly-like 'Verse system involving many suns and whole
sub-systems of planets and moons.
* Also of course that will affect chargen, what skills you might need to survive, if one of you *needs* to be a
pilot, that kind of thing.
* Actually, on that note, made-up system good, or is our Solar System preferred?
* Characters: "mercs fighting the good fight"?
* Think about if any of you is going to need piloting skills.

* The three blue-white B-type stars could form planets, though they don't have a ton of time in main sequence.
Likely require some form of shelter for life. Alien life, lots of meteor strikes and young planet activity.
* The F-type star yields the most earth-like planets.
