The Confederation oversees the universe from Coro at its centre, right out to the edge of Extero system. Beyond here, out into the Perdio system, you are on your own. Known simply as ‘The Black’ by most, Perdio is populated with renegades, freebooters and other unsavoury, lawless characters. From time to time, they make their way into Confederation space and wreak havoc but always return to The Black. If you find yourself on the wrong side of the law, a punishment worse than death would be being cast into The Black.
Max is headed out only as far as the Intero system, he has the buffer of Extero before coming anywhere near ‘The Black’. However, as with many a best laid plan; fate, the Gods or just plain luck might have a say in what lies ahead for him.
Meet Me At The Jump Gate is a pixel art webcomic set in the far future with Max as the main protagonist. Max hauls things from here to there for credits (in the future, be it utopian, dystopian, scotopian, ectopian or any other topian you would care to mention, they always seem to use credits or creds. Funny that) and whilst tracking the movements of a stock by haulage contractor would be of passing notice as a webcomic, our story hopefully plots a slightly more exciting path across the star chart of space.
Max escapes from Space Station Brompton1 after an attempted detainment by over zealous Security Services. As to why the aforementioned Security Services would want to detain him, he has no idea. He has a consignment to deliver and has no time for wrongful accusations, time is money. Well, actually, time is relative but there’s plenty of time for that later.
So, with a spaceship bristling with Tech, including his trusty ship’s computer, he heads off, little knowing the adventures that are about to befall him.
