Narrative Summary
Plot
The game starts with the player assuming the role of Mason Bray. A backwater Fringe colonist looking for revenge against a high-ranking Alliance official who killed his best friend.
- Early-game finds the player trying to make enough credits to find out where the game's antagonist has gone while creating a network of patrons and informants planetside. Plenty of side quests will be presented to ensure the character can level at the appropriate times. Once enough credits have been acquired (or a loan secured from a loan shark), the player leaves the planet in their newly purchased starship (by Character Level 15).
- Mid-Game is all about leveling up the player's character while earning enough credits to upgrade equipment and starships. Side Quests and new locations are the names of the game during this stage. Earning the character plenty of new patrons and informants while they also try to stay alive from the many new rivals they are sure to make. New equipment and ships are bought and lost but ultimately, the antagonist's location will be found (by Character Level 58).
- The End-Game is all about getting revenge for a fallen friend. With the firepower acquired, the player makes their move on the antagonist's stronghold. Following the leads acquired during the previous stages until ultimately the character arrives for the final showdown. Will the character be strong enough? Is the antagonist even at the location in question? Will the antagonist's death fill the void of his long-lost friend? Will the character ultimately be betrayed and suffer the same fate as his friend?
