The year is 2326. Earth lies under the oppressive rule of the alien Zarkons, who have subjugated humanity with advanced technology. Making matters worse, they are aided by compliant human governments. In the chaos, the ruthless Blackbeards pirates raid all sides. When a rebel cell asks for your help, you must take to the stars in their only available ship: a retrofitted garbage hauler. Armed with a basic laser and a dream of freedom, you embark on a daring mission to drive out the Zarkons, defeat the pirates, and liberate humanity.
