AN OUTPOST OF PROGRESS? #2

Sevastopol: An Outpost of Progress?
By Julia Jones

SEEGSON'S FRAIL ORIGINS

After Weyland Industries led the way in Faster Than Light travel, Seegson found success mass producing the flight components central to the colonial gold rush that followed. Its ensuing overexpansion and reputation for producing ‘low-cost alternatives' to WY branded goods is a matter of public record.

In the modern day Seegson is attempting to change the fortunes of ailing colonial outposts. Stations like Sevastopol receive investment, and Seegson-affiliated companies set up shop. But the economic patterns that once worked within the Sol system have not flourished in deep space.

On Sevastopol, mass-produced no frills androids still sit in their boxes. Machines in research facilities are still shrouded in the plastic they were delivered in. Trading docks are used only by the flourishing black market that the station's residents have come to rely on.

Sevastopol is a ghost town. And nobody cares.
