The void doesn't give a damn who you are--it'll chew you up and spit you out all the same. That's the first lesson I learned when I took the helm of the Rust Blade, a beat-up freighter with a crew rougher than a comet storm. Me? I'm Captain Rogue--name fits, scars tell the rest. They call me a thief, a gambler, a bastard with a smirk. They're not wrong. Out here, known space is a prison, and the Rust Blade's my way out. We're not heroes--hell, we're barely legal--but we've got a gig: haul cargo, dodge patrols, keep the engines running. That was the plan, 'til I met her. Glow--my XO, my fire, my damn conscience in a graphene suit that shimmers like a dying star. She's AI-built, sharp as a knife, and flirts like she's daring me to crash us into the next black hole. Together, we're carving a story worth telling. This is our tale--gritty, raw, and ready to rob the galaxy blind. Welcome aboard.
