The Copper Frontier: Endless Engines

Saddle up for a steam-powered adventure unlike any you've imagined. The Copper Frontier isn't your dusty, terrestrial West; it's a sprawling asteroid belt teeming with grizzled prospectors, steam-powered contraptions, and saloons carved into spinning rocks. Here, amidst the crimson dust and the clang of mining equipment, bounty hunter Irwin "Rust" Devara finds himself on a chase that will redefine the galaxy.

Hired by the monolithic Helios Corporation, Rust is tasked with retrieving a stolen perpetual-motion steam engine – an invention that could shatter Helios's iron grip on the galaxy or ignite a devastating war. The engine’s creator, Elias Thorne, believes his creation can liberate the independent miners struggling under corporate oppression, sparking a revolution across the Copper Frontier.

Rust's pursuit begins in Crucible, a rough-and-tumble mining town nestled within a hollowed-out asteroid, where fortunes are forged and shattered in the heart of the belt. He navigates dimly lit saloons and clandestine gambling dens, following Thorne’s trail through a web of whispered rumors and cryptic messages. But Rust isn't the only hunter on the prowl. Natasha Logan, a ruthless bounty hunter with a vendetta against Helios and a reputation as cold as space itself, also seeks the engine, aiming to use its power to dismantle the corporation from within.

As Rust delves deeper, he uncovers a conspiracy far more intricate than a simple theft. The perpetual-motion engine isn’t just an energy source; it's a Pandora's Box, capable of generating a volatile byproduct – a highly unstable form of condensed steam that could turn any vessel into a devastating weapon. He must choose between fulfilling his contract and handing Helios the ultimate weapon, or siding with Thorne and risking the uncontrolled release of the engine's destructive power.

Caught between corporate greed, personal vendettas, and the fate of the galaxy, Rust must navigate a treacherous landscape of shifting alliances and explosive confrontations. In a world powered by steam and fueled by ambition, the chase for the engine becomes a race against time, a fight for the soul of the Copper Frontier. Will Rust uphold his duty or forge his own path in a galaxy on the brink of revolution?
