About the game.



Elements of Wealth

-Your world our universe



It is a bleak but prosperous future for mankind, in the centuries since man has taken to the stars huge leaps have been made in both technology and culture.



“Each man is his own, but no man is born free.”

Capt. Marcus Iron-heart, Grafter II



No longer do people discriminate over creed, colour or nationality, each and every member of the human race is born into service. One of three powerful corporations is now your country, your birthplace. It is your job to go forth and gain wealth from every corner of the universe for both yourself and your mother corporation.

Players must use all the skill, knowledge and recourses at their disposal to extract this vast wealth and become the wealthiest ‘rock-jock’ in the whole universe.
