Lost in the Stars / STARLOST

Living under the rule of a mega corporation offers little opportunity for advancement or self betterment without a powerful sponsor within the organization. Your home, your career, even your clothing and entertainments are dictated by the corporation. The only choices you have are those that the mega-corporation allows you. This is not freedom.

We choose freedom. We choose to be Lost in the Stars.
