The Olympiana Expanse. A hub point for most Jump gates in the Large Metallic Cloud, and since no one can make the Jump gates, that makes the expanse a very busy place. It is fifty-two planets big. Its outer colonies live in poverty while the inner planets prosper on the massive amount of trade ships and military sales. Poverty was made even worse by the five year war now over between the Klave Empire and the Olympiana Expanse. It ended with the Klave gaining fifteen planets and a 'Neutral zone' with a 34 hour guard on either end. The Olympiana expanse is prized for its massive artificial planet, Cannondale. It builds ships of all sizes, and in Quick succession. With out the planet the Expanse would of been over run by the Klave.<br/><br/>Since the end of the war, pirates have been populating the LMC. Those with big enough balls have even put their names up on the ranking boards leaving there Records out to show their kills and Blunder. On the top of the list is, one, Jamal Valentine, and his ship The Zeus. The ship is rumored to be built outside the LMC, The ship is built for Piracy.<br/><br/>Our story starts in a debris field not far from the Olympiana inner ring. A pirate captain and his small fleet of five ships hide out among the wreckage. They wait for a convoy to pass through so they can spring their attack.<br/><br/>The Zeus -<a class="link link--external" href="http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=Homeworld%20ships&amp;order=9&amp;offset=120#/d1ca3t8" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=Homeworld ships&amp;order=9&amp;offset=120#/d1ca3t8</a>
