After the invention of the first warp drive only the most powerful nations and wealthiest individuals could afford them for a long time. That is, until Wexler Research Inc. made a breakthrough in spacetime manipulation that allowed for compact and affordable warp systems.
Now, 200 years after their merger with Watson Space Industries, they've made the furthest reaches of the galaxy open to daring adventurers looking to make a name for themselves.
You have spent your savings on an old command pod which you will be able to extend using any standardised spaceship modules you might come across, but beware of scavangers and other mercenaries who might not take lightly to competition.
The Sol Government has no influence over these newly explored parts of space so everything is in the hands of corporations and their outposts.
Welcome to the Frontier.

Factions
|
United Research Alliance
After humanity became interstellar Earth's space agencies formed a coalition to peacefully explore the great unknowns of the universe.
Their ships are outfitted with the latest and most advanced tech, including high intensity laser weapons and shields. |
|
|
Industrial Conglomerate
Looking out for the private sector's best interests, this faction specialises in moving freight and mining asteroids.
Their robust and heavy ships might lack modern equipment, but what they lack in innovativeness they make up in |
|
Junkyard Modules
Not strictly a faction per-se, but collection of rogue vessels with separate motives.
If you want to assemble a starship on a budget, the space junkjards have a great deal for you selling old outdated parts at low prices. |
|
Corporations
Space is a massive opportunity for investment and profit which brings interstellar corporations to the frontier's outposts and space stations.
Lightspeed Frontier is currently being developed by me, Vid (a.k.a Moff Kalast) in partnership with Riveted Games. We are planning on releasing on Steam Early Access in December of 2016, and implementing more content and features with the help of our playerbase. So head over to our forums and join in on the fun!
