== The Game ==

Centered around trade, piracy, and intrigue, Gemini Station allows you to customize and equip your [[ship]] by acquiring specialized mods that allow you to fine-tune your play style. As your ship gets more powerful, you’ll be able to complete more difficult missions, transport more cargo, hack more secure systems, and even turn on other players in attempt to steal their cargo.

You can play anytime online from any device. There’s no software to download, you just log in and keep playing. Gem is also a casual game, requiring no major commitment and was designed specifically to be fun without requiring a large investment of time.

Line 15:

With trade between [[Earth]] and the [[Mars]] colony finally normalizing following a bloody civil war, both locations wanted a neutral central location from which to conduct trade.

Shortly after the station’s completion, the Terran and Martian trade routes to Gem expanded to include [[Jupiter]]’s gas harvesting industry, [[Mercury]]’s solar farms, as well as the ice mines on distant Eris.

While [[Earth]] and [[Mars]] might not be at war anymore, they still hate each other. Mars doesn’t take kindly to pilots assisting Earth ships and vice versa. The Terrans are convinced Mars will attack them again, so they spend all available research and development into [[Defense|defensive ship mods]]. Mars, on the other hand continues to further their [[Offense|offensive mod]] research.

But when mysterious energy readings begin to appear throughout the system. Every [[Factions|faction]] must put aside their differences and work together to discover the source of this new threat.
