You Eagerly got into your ship and got ready for your life of adventure, unfortunnettely you were assigned an area in space for your first patrol that didn't have that many hyperlanes going through it, and the ones that did were only a few ones for backwoods planets that didn't have much of anything this was all set up to be a boring first few months, when something odd happened, your ship picked up an old Terran distress signal, hundreds of years out of date, hell it might date back to shortly after Terrans started their first in Solar System Colony! And oddly enough it was coming from a place not connected to the Hyperlanes, and a place with no known planets or stars around, it seemed to just be dead empty space in that direction, at least according to the maps.
