About this game

The Rock of Tariq is an asteroid settlement orbiting the planet of Tariq's Folly. Tariq's Folly is an earthlike world, rendered uninhabitable by constant storms and a weak magnetosphere. Starting as a pirate enclave a few hundred years ago, the pirates found legitimate trade was safer and more profitable due to the resources that can be taken from Tariq's Folly. From there, the Rock grew, exporting clean atmosphere, pure water, edible salt, and the occasional pirate raid to the surrounding area, importing damn near everything else. Today the Rock is less a pirate haven, though still a popular destination for them. Not quite a trade power, though it could be one. Not quite a country, but it's large enough to resemble one.

It is a place in flux, not yet willing to become something in truth.

Your crew will begin your quest at a meeting with Marwa, a mysterious woman who is arranging for the transportation of a seal cargo- no questions asked, for a princely sum to the Rock of Tariq. re a crew transporting an invaluable cargo to the Rock of Tariq, unexpected consequences emerge. Trapped on a foreign station, you must navigate shifting politics long enough to get paid, discharge your cargo, and get the hell out of the station. Along the way, you may, purposefully or not, direct the future of the station of 1.5 million people.
