Prologue

Here's how it is. Everyone used to live on a planet called Spherus Magna. It was a lush paradise, full of life and beauty. But once all of the resources on that planet got used up, everyone had to leave. So they found themselves a new solar system home to a whole bunch of small planets. Some were terraformed, some weren't. The core planets all became flush with new technologies pioneered by great minds. Those on the rim weren't so lucky. A supergovernment, calling themselves the Order of Mata Nui, sought to control every planet. Some people weren't too keen about their homes being taken under control; among them, myself. My name's Vakama. I'm captain of the ship Gakaiwa. Got a good crew. Found myself a pilot, a mechanic, and a trusty second in command. Oh, and there's the helpful muscle. We're smugglers. You got for us, we'll get it done. Doesn't quite matter what needs to be transported.
