Let me explain Deadzone a bit better.
Alright, so it's a lawless region of space that none of the other factions have really been able to maintain. A lot of the galaxy's most-wanted criminals end up fleeing here. It's not always been like that, but once you start filling the galaxy with law and order the crooks HAVE to end up going somewhere, and over the centuries they've just been pushed into Deadzone. In the middle of Deadzone is a very large space-station, akin to Omega from Mass Effect.
Throughout Deadzone are habitable planets with rich resources. Naturally, they would be colonized, maintained, and mined of these resources, but the Dominion, Federation, and other factions can't really do that because Deadzone is so dangerous. You risk being attacked by pirates, or being sold off by slavers, or being extorted by mercenaries - that sort of stuff.
However, there are some very big, very important, very influential corporations in the galaxy. Blastex Industries and Strattix Inc. are just two of these corporations. They're... 'corrupt' to say the least. They most notably manufacture weapons and armor, but they're known to manufacture things like mechs, vehicles - hell, even microwaves and music players. They have a lot of factories and a lot of corporate buildings located throughout the galaxy...
...and they just happen to have a few shady locations throughout Deadzone as well. These very rich, very greedy, very powerful 'businesses' are really fronts to other forms of business. They're legitimate factions and they even hold sway in Dominion and Federation government. Rather than pay taxes and have to follow strict guidelines underneath the government, Blastex and Strattix rely on illegal business in Deadzone. They may purchase slaves to work in the mines, hire mercenaries to guard their property, fund pirates and gangs to carry out 'covert; operations against anyone who threatens them.
There's this 'Big Bad' in the roleplay, and he's done something that has hurt us all. I don't know what he did to YOU guys, but he's done something that has pissed off 'Six' (my character). Six has been in the employment of Dax Strattix, CEO of Strattix Inc. Dax has supplied him with arms and armor in order to hunt down the 'Big Bad' and bring his forces crashing down, and he's been at it for a few years now, but his efforts are just not enough. In order to finally bring the Big Bad down, Six must track down and recruit the toughest, strongest, and most capable beings in the whole Galaxy - and that just so happens to be YOU. Will you answer his call of help, and will you trust them to help you with your own problems?
So while the RP is about taking down the Big Bad, it's also about character relationships and how they grow throughout the course of the story. As the RP continues, our characters will help each other complete their personal goals.
