After the death of Commander Peter Jameson, his grandchildren inherit an Eagle Long Range Fighter and 100 credits each. His final message welcomes them to life on the Frontier, where they are free to forge their own path across a vast, dangerous galaxy. They may become traders, miners, mercenaries, bounty hunters - or pirates - while navigating the rival powers of the Federation, Empire, and Independents. With their piloting and combat skills tested to the limit, they must seek their fortune, explore the galaxy, and above all, remain wary.
