Outlaw Star: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"Outlaws. This was the name given to those who travelled space with only his freedom as his guide."''}}

 

 

In the universe, there are three major powers: the [[Space Police|Space Forces]] who enforce the law, the [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]] who defy it and the "outlaws" who owe allegiance to neither side. Gene Starwind, a big fish in the small pond of his home planet, dreams of going to the stars. A simple bodyguard job quickly spirals out of control and ends with him coming into possession of the most advanced spaceship in the galaxy (which he dubs the ''Outlaw Star'') and the biological navigation system that controls it, an [[Artificial Human]] named Melfina.

See also ''[[Angel Links]]'', also a part of the ''Towards Stars'' universe.
