Setting
The Outer Worlds is set in an alternate timeline, with the point of divergence beginning when United States President William McKinley was not assassinated by an anarchist in 1901. As a result, Theodore Roosevelt never succeeded McKinley as President and large business trusts were never broken up, leading to a hyper-corporate, class centric society dominated by the power of mega-corporations and robber barons, which by the distant future, have begun to colonize space. The game takes place in the year 2355 in the Halcyon System.
Introduction Story
The Stranger, also known as "the unknown variable", is a passenger aboard the colony ship Hope, which is bound for the distant Halcyon system, wholly owned and operated by corporations. During its journey, the ship's skip drive malfunctions and it is forced to continue using its sublight engines, extending the trip from ten years to sixty. Since Halcyon was colonized through other means, the Hope is unexpectedly found adrift with its colonists unable to be revived and the Halcyon Holdings Corporate Board decided to abandon the colonists. The Hope is moved into orbit over the ice planet Typhon and its existence covered up.
Thirty-five years later, the colony is in fact on the verge of complete collapse. Despite the assurances of the Board, life in the colony is far from perfect. The main problem being slow and subtle starvation of the entire population due to Earth food being too low in nutrients.

https://theouterworlds.fandom.com/wiki/Edgewater
Edgewater is a Spacer's Choice company town located in the Emerald Vale on the planet Terra 2. Its primary function is supporting the operation of the town's Saltuna Cannery which is supervised by Reed Tobson. The town's power comes from the local Geothermal Power Plant and shares its power with the region's Botanical Labs.
When the Stranger arrives in Edgewater, the town is struggling. A significant proportion of its population has fallen ill with a plague that began in the last few years. The plague is caused by poor diet and began when the cannery began experiencing a shortage of saltuna and had to stretch its supplies by adding other ingredients to its mixture including wood chips, mushrooms, sand, and canid bits.
However, the town's leadership claims that is is caused by poor work ethic and that only lazy workers contract the plague. There is insufficient medicine to go around and is only given to those who are deemed deserving of treatment. The situation has led many of Edgewater's residents to desert the town, several joining a growing camp of Deserters led by former saltuna flavor specialist, Adelaide McDevitt, who are based at the Botanical Labs.
