  |       other civilizations, each great      |
  |     house is now preparing to enter the    |
  |    wormholes apparent in their planetary   |
  | systems.  What they do not know is lethal: |
  | space pirates have set up shop beyond the  |
  | wormholes, and they are just begging for   |
  | the opportunity to feed on some tasty      |
  | starships.  If they can manage to get past |
  | These pirates, they may find prosperity    |
  | with the other great houses.  But, who     |
  | is to know the minds of great houses       |
  | embittered by the taste of long battles    |
  | with pirates.  Only you change the fate    |
  | of nations and worlds.                     |
