StarDustCYOA
About
Star Dust CYOA is a CYOA created by /tg/ that is about building star ships and star ship fleets. The player uses a credit system (in millions) to make their builds and have a selection of things like ship size and class, manufacturers, faction origins, weapons, interior rooms, and more. The main CYOA features 7 pages. Be prepared to use a calculator and probable spreadsheets.
Lore
Much of the lore is hinted at within the CYOA itself; most of everything has a description detailing backgrounds, such as brief character bios or location histories. Page 7 has the bulk of the lore detailed along with the star map of the Star Dust universe.
Much of the lore behind Star Dust revolves around three main factions: the powerful galactic Federation who owns the largest sovereignty, the different groups of Pirates who reign supreme in the 'outer rims', and also the Independent entities such as relevant mercenary organizations or wealthy corporations. Players first choose their origins which determines their faction standings, perks like ship discounts, and maybe even a buddy you can get for free from the crew pages.
In the timeline of Star Dust, the CYOA happens almost right after the fall of the largest Pirate organization formerly known as the Luos Syndicate, having felt a galaxy-wide assault from the Federation and their mercenary allies, the Blackhawk Elite.
