You've recently joined the Blood-Axes, a rebel crew fighting against the Imperium. Cruising through space in a starship owned by this guy Kai, a Veldt smuggler, you're trying to find your place with the rest of the squad. It's a mix of space outlaws and battle-scarred warriors, and fitting in is a bit of a challenge, especially when it comes to trusting Kai. He seems all chill with his sarcastic jokes and rough-around-the-edges charm, but there's a vibe that leaves you side-eyeing his real agenda.
