u'In the distant future of New Eden, a new faction rises from the depths of space\u2014a shadowy alliance of disillusioned pilots, miners, and traders who have become jaded with the endless wars, politics, and corporate betrayals that define the galaxy. This faction, known as the Zeta Reticuli Blackpill Alliance, takes its name from the Zeta Reticuli star system, a distant, mysterious place where whispers of ancient alien races have fueled endless speculation.

But for the Blackpill Alliance, the truth is not uplifting\u2014it is bleak, fatalistic, and cynical. They have come to the grim realization that no matter how hard they fight, no matter how many alliances they form or wars they win, the endless cycle of conflict will continue. Humanity, and perhaps all intelligent life in New Eden, is doomed to perpetual strife, greed, and corruption.'
