There's a lot of lore and world info already established for this idea, but I'll present it fairly barebones just for the interest check's purpose. Long story short, there's gonna be space pirates, space samurai, some mech options, a corrupt megacorp, and an epic and seemingly unwinnable struggle that seems to be a loss no matter how it's decided:
Refugees from the crumbling order of The Iron Dawn have fled the planet of Amaunet IV, their stronghold where they base their operations and maintain their greatest presence. The group shares ties with the Terran tradition of samurai warfare, preferring bladed weapons, melee combat, and blunt instruments rather than the much more popular ranged weapons that have become prevalent throughout the galaxy. These warriors encountered a dangerous and mysterious group known as the Forseid. As they try to find new ground to regroup and plan a counterattack, they find their ship being chased by a band of pirates, and the two ships eventually collide with a space anomaly, which deposits both crews on a planet they have never seen before.
This planet, Pelior, in the Crugant star system, stands in between two powerful forces at war. One group, the same Forseid who chased the Iron Dawn from their home, appears to have a powerful army and they strive to bring chaos to the cosmos, hoping to coax an ancient god out of hiding. The force that stands in their way, Adventus, is a huge megacorporation with the most advanced tech and a seemingly infinite number of men and women to throw at any problem. However, their help comes at a great cost, and Adventus has proven that it only helps those who can help them expand, and they plan to take control of Pelior once the Forseid are beaten back. Pelior is one of the only free planets left in the star system, the others already being claimed by Adventus and any world unlucky enough to have succumbed to a Forseid attack is now nothing but dust.
The remnants of the Iron Order, as well as the pirates they collided with, are now faced with a choice. With no idea how to return home, and ominous indications that this large-scale conflict may have destroyed anything they once called familiar, they must decide whether they wish to fight in this war for Pelior and what can be done. Siding with Adventus would bring them riches and technology, as well as securing a high rank in the impending new world order. Choosing the chaotic Forseid might be the only way to leave this stand-off alive. And, of course, trying to fight them both would just be suicidal, right? As the group uncovers more about the Forseid, they begin to discover that their incredible fighting prowess might not be all natural, and mysterious secrets surrounding the Crugant system emerge.
