a massive
rpg/
space combat simulation game currently under development by
Vicarious Visions.
based in a colonized/populated Solar System, year 2197 .. you (the human player) are either a fighter pilot for the United Earth League, Mars Consortium, or a pirate in the Marauders, or just a good old in-it-for-yourself mercenary (see Han Solo).
the game's universe is persistent, the non-player characters, etc. continue to live regardless of what the human player is doing .. the game does not revolve completely around the human player.
