Synopsis

The year is 2634. Information is power in this new age.  The Sol system has been colonized and the system bustles with economic activity, as raw materials are harvested from every celestial body humanity can get its hands on. Zag is, at least by the register of the Jovian shipyards, a merchant captain. In reality he is a sling-pirate of the highest order. He and his team combine expert navigation, piloting and hacking to intercept, decrypt and exploit communications across the vast distances of the Sol system.  Sate secrets, stock market information, blackmail, flight routes, cargo manifests.  Every bit of information Zag intercepted was valuable The first cryo-generation colony ship left the system 200 years prior. The day is fast approaching that we’re expecting them to contact us, having arrived at their destination. It’s against the backdrop of a wealthy, prosperous system that Zag comes into possession of of a piece of information he had hoped never to learn, and his world is forever changed.
