Help wanted: Intergalactic Data Couriers Needed!

In a universe where FTL interstellar travel exists but FTL communications do not, private couriers play a key role in transporting massive amounts of data between star systems.

Apply and join the ranks of these intrepid and entrepreneurial pilots, but beware - interstellar travel is not for the faint of heart. It's easy going once you enter warp, but building up the kinetic energy needed to activate a warp drive requires careful but fast maneuvering through asteroid-filled hostile space.

• Upgrade your ship with essential equipment: Weapons to clear away obstacles, defenses to withstand any bumps you may take, and flight upgrades to boost your speed and maneuverability.
  
• Give yourself more of an edge by trading collected Dark Matter in the Subspace Market for less official upgrades.
  
• Boost your chances with consumable power-ups that can salvage missions from certain failure.
  
• Make your fortune while trying to build up the prowess to reach the ultimate, most lucrative, and most dangerous client world of Thend.
  
• Customize your ship, laser, shield, and warp trail graphics with unlockable cosmetics.
  
• Retire, earn prestige, and hand off the reins to a new upstart pilot with a unique talent or two, knowing that your accomplishments and long-term investments will make the road to Thend easier for your successors.
