Olympus Rho

A dozen worlds modeled after the gods of a forgotten homeland. Virtues, ethics, trains of thought handed down from mythic—even deific—forefathers. A pantheon broken by betrayal, their father figure destroyed, and others cast out. Monoblades and neural interfaces. Starships and psychic precognitives. Laser pistols and chthonic powers.   The survivors of a bitter civil war scrabble over the resources of a sector barely recovered from the Scream. Secrets hide on lost worlds and the masses whisper of immortals that walk among them, manipulating all of humanity from behind the scenes. On the fringes of space, cultists toy with powers they do not understand. Aliens and mutated humans appear on distant frontier worlds.   Amidst mystery and a rapidly changing stellar landscape, a handful of people band together and try to scrape out a living among the stars. They have one ship, one life each, and as many dreams as they can steal, purchase, or carve out of their own sweat and bloody sacrifice.
