Groups

There are three different groups in the known universe:


Spacer	Terrans	Pirates

In the main campaign, you will be a Spacer, that was born on Aurora. Because you are being tired of lifing in a humdrum, sated life, you enlisted to the SpaceGuards. This is some kind of police or militia in the space between the Spacer worlds.
The campaign starts as you arrive at the Olympus station in orbit of Aurora. This station is the commando center as well as the central training center of the SpaceGuards.
