Join Erich on his journey through the Interstellar Age, as he confronts the challenges of war, politics, and personal identity in a universe filled with danger and intrigue.
The Smuggler's Moon
The Smuggler's Moon was a large moon orbiting a gas giant in a solitary system just on the border of Federation Space. It was ruled by a despot who maintained absolute neutrality, both in cabal affairs and galactic politics.
If something was for sale, it could be found on the smuggler's moon. Whether it was legal items, or illicit contraband, as long as you had the cash, or something of equal value, then you could get your hands on it here on this moon.
The moon itself was hollowed out and turned into an ecumenopolis. Because of this, it could house far more people than it might appear able to on its surface. The moment the Vigilance pulled into the system, they were accosted by an array of communications, all from the smuggler's moon, of course.
After all, the Vigilance was a warship, and warships were not usually welcomed in this neutral sector of space.
