2869: Lust In Space

The year was now 2869 and technology had advanced to the point where space travel had become almost as routine as driving is today. Humans had ventured far from earth and were now settling throughout the galaxy creating a need for a network of sophisticated supply ships to transport valuable resources between the colonies. It was no surprise that the humans found the galaxy to be teaming with life. Some friendly, some not so.

This story takes place on the far side of the known galaxy where an ambitious family is attempting to carve a piece of the very lucrative space transport business for themselves.

Typically these transport ‘runs’ take between 6-8 weeks as the family’s supply ships travel across the galaxy delivering supplies and picking up resources to return with.

The ships are of various sizes but all are easily crewed by a single person with the help of the ships’ computer system and a handful of robots. The ships are quite comfortable to travel on and are fully equipped with spacious cabins, a galley and a workout area.

The Carter family had started their transport business just a few years ago with just a single ship but have since expanded.

Who are the Carters?
