Starsea Scavenger

He is the most down-and-out scavenger in the star sea, drifting through abandoned space lanes year after year and scraping by on salvaged wreckage. By chance, he finds a mysterious star core powerful enough to rewrite humanity's fate. Federal pursuers are hot on his heels, while a cold AI accompanies him along the way. Conspiracies stir beneath the surface, and affection quietly takes root, intertwining amid the wasteland and the vast river of stars. Whispers from an ancient civilization echo out of the void. Standing at a crossroads, will he huddle in the dust and cling to a safe, miserable existence, or boldly ignite the stars and forge a path forward for humanity, lost as it is?
