conversations.value: The year is 2489.  Mankind has developed poorly-explained FTL technology and taken to the stars, discovering a whole galaxy of adventure, riches and opportunity... and alien races who want to keep all of that for themselves.
  
  Just like the oceans of Earth, the celestial sea is a playground for all manner of different vessels.  Traders, passenger liners, private yachts, drifters, scavengers... and pirates.  Your ship, the *Crimson Dawn*, fits squarely in the last category.
  
  Why you're here is your own business.  Pirates aren't much for prying.  Maybe you've fallen on hard times.  Maybe you're looking for adventure.  Maybe you've got something to prove.  Whatever it is, you've got your reasons.
  
  But there are pirates and there are _pirates_.  The crew of the _Crimson Dawn_ are scoundrels and thieves, liars and occasional murderers, but there are those in the dark expanse of space who are far, far worse than you.  So, ply your wicked little trade, but watch your back, lest you fall afoul of the fearsome _Shadow Chancellor_...
