====== SALVAGE SPACE: ADVENTURES ====== **//ADVENTURE//** Ad*ven"ture, v. i. \\ Defn: To try the chance; to take the risk. \\ //I would adventure for such merchandise. ~ Shakespeare// Throughout history, restless souls ventured beyond the horizon expanding the known world. The safe, comfortable life offered by the Alliance could not satisfy everyone in the core worlds. Trailblazers broke the soil of new worlds, built shelters, planted crops, and adapted to life under, and between, other suns. Over the centuries, wave after wave of Adventurers expanded the sphere of Human expansion almost 50 light years from Earth. The risks and rewards of deep space draw the practical, the reckless, the foolhardy, the brave, and more. Adventurers need vision to recognize chance opportunities, courage to face the risks, wisdom to make the good choices to seize those chances, the luck to avoid the worst consequences, and the fortitude to meet the costs whatever they may be. Chasing rewards despite the risks describes the heart of the Adventurer unwilling to settle for a safe, boring life. What rewards do the Adventurers seek? What risks will the Adventurers take to get them? What dirty jobs need doing that the safe, boring colonists wouldn't dream of tackling? ▲ [[:Chronology:]] ~~DISCUSSION~~
