"Boldly they rode and well,

Into the jaws of Death,

Into the mouth of hell

Rode the six hundred."

> Charge of the Light Brigade, by Alfred Lord Tennyson

You are the captain of the HMS Hawkins, a scout ship. Embark on your journey for the federation.

As the captain of the ship, exploring unexplored territory, you will need to survive on the landscape. Battle natives and pirates, or negotiate with them. Plunder lost worlds and ghost ships. Conquer the universe, or die trying.

Be warned though, the more you plunder, the more pirates will try to take your hard earned loot.

Your mission will last up to 30 years. Good luck captain.

This was my second jam. I only had two days to do it (school), so I considered entering the compo, but I didn't really want to release the source code since it was extremely messy, lacks annotations and isn't really an example of good coding. And the extra time is pretty useful for adding features last minute.

This game is about 20% better if you roleplay.
