Worst Intentions | Elite: Dangerous RPG | Chapter 1
29In the universe of Elite Dangerous, cheap and readily available faster-than-light travel has allowed humanity to explode across the stars, building new colonies, cities, nations and empires. The galaxy is a rich place, filled with a wealth of minerals, water and life-bearing planets. The great nations of the Federation, Empire and Alliance grow wealthier every
day, and such wealth attracts powerful people who constantly scheme to increase their power.
Space travel is common and affordable. The middle classes of the galaxy own spaceships the way twenty-first century families own cars. Owning a spaceship grants tremendous freedom – spacecraft owners are courted all across the galaxy by space stations, hungry for rare goods and vital
supplies. Politics seldom interferes with trade and even very patriotic worlds such as Nanomam, are happy to accept goods and services from those who paint the ‘wrong’ flag on the side of their spacecraft.
For those at the bottom of the heap, little has changed since the old Earth dark ages. Planet-spanning mega corporations rule unchecked in large parts of the galaxy, employing entire nations of people in call
centres, factories, tech support hubs or even as humble stockbrokers. On the planet of Zaonce, the miserable masses slave for the planet-wide Bank of Zaonce, filling tedious hours buying stocks and shares, selling high and low like robots, receiving none of the gains they make. In revolutionary Eranin the population is expected to perform in weekly
parades celebrating their independence from the Federation, while their leaders ‘redistribute’ the people’s wages into their own back pockets.
This combination of cheap space travel, terrible inequality and a laissez-faire attitude towards weapon ownership makes the galaxy a dangerous place. Pirates, mercenaries and political agitators often like to fire first and seldom ask questions later. The police have a terrible arrest rate, but an excellent execution record; in space it’s hard to take prisoners and very few people even try. Add to this the many navigational hazards in space, fierce native creatures on unexplored planets, psychotic cyborgs with
faulty behaviour chips and the terrible greed of the interstellar elite, and you have a dangerous galaxy just waiting to destroy a wandering space pilot.
To survive you’re going to need the best ship, the best equipment, a strong credit account and the skills to back it all up. For in this dangerous galaxy only the elite survive…
