THE YEAR IS 2XXX, AND HUMANITY HAS SPREAD ITSELF AMONG THE STARS

Welcome to the future. Space-stations and mega-corps are the flavour of the day, and by the end of this jump you'll never want to see either again.

	Approximately 75 years ago, a mysterious substance called 'Plasma' was discovered, a mineral with seemingly endless applications in science, space travel, manufacturing, and more. Leading research firms and megacorps have launched various research stations across deep space. Officially, these self-sufficient stations research plasma, and prototype new inventions for their mother corp. Off the books, they're basically sandboxes for corporate execs, and are constantly subject to all kinds of catastrophe and attack.

	YOU, yes you, are now an employee of NanoTrasen, the single largest Corporation in the galaxy. Expect orders to carry out illicit research and illegal actions, infiltrations by the feared Syndicate, Space Wizard attacks, Xenos Horrificus, bloody cultist rituals, and various other space hazards as you try desperately to complete your work orders. Beware- your worst enemy may just be the incompetence of your crewmates.

You will spend at least 5 'shifts' here, each lasting 2 years on the station. After your shift is up, you get shuttled back to NanoTrasen HQ for a month of kicking back and spending money. After that, it's off to your next shift. If your shift ends early due to an emergency shuttle being called, you get approximately two weeks of relaxation time while NanoTrasen shifts schedules around, then you get shuttled off to another station. For every shift ended early, you have to stay in this universe for another two-year shift, so try not to melt any important bulkheads.
