Destiny Among the Stars

**They left Earth for the stars and stumbled into a war older than Earth itself.** Humanity has dreamed of the stars for millennia, and when the System arrived on Earth, they finally got their chance. But this isn't a story about magic and fireballs. The System grants passive skills and pushes humanity forward through technology, turning ordinary people into the architects of our interstellar future. This is how Captain Luca Rossi and his crew seize humanity's destiny and pull out of the Solar System. They’re not chosen heroes. Just kids from New Hampshire with good stats, big dreams, and a starship no one thinks they’re ready to fly. But Alpha Centauri doesn’t care about their age. Climb aboard the Triumph of Darron for a journey of exploration and claim a future among the stars. Inspired by: GURPS, X4 Foundation, Eve Online, MOO, Stellaris, No Man’s Sky.
