conversations.value: With tensions between the Confederate Nations and the Eastern Alliance growing by the day, a new space race erupted and the hunt for precious resources beyond Earth was on.
  
  Over the past twenty years both sides have established colonies on the Moon and some of the major asteroids. Space stations were constructed to support them.
  
  Knowing that whoever gets there first will most likely win the coming war- a war that seems more inevitable with every passing day - the Confederation started a secret program to develop a new line of deep-space exploration ships.
  
  The "Firebrand" is the first of this new class. Her mission is exploration and prospecting, her captain, aided by her semi-conscious computer, given unprecedented freedom - as long as they succeed.
