Background
Little is known about the desolate planet of Evonia in the Wespero System. New rumors speak of traders, often smugglers, having dealings with a fellow they call Avadar. Apparently he runs an Imperial research station. Because of conflicting reports, and fear of the unknown, the Rebel Alliance hires Davin Onardo to investigate. Although he served the Rebels in past years Onardo was too independent to remain an officer. Now a free agent, and opportunistic freebooter, this so-called antiques dealer has a knack for getting himself into and out of tough situations. Sensing a rare opportunity to benefit as mercenary and explorer, Onardo sets out with first mate Cap Salai not realizing the extent of Avadar's secrets.

Tonight's stealth and careful choices may get you into Avadar's tower. However, as you near your goal the Imperials will not be cooperative.

More than half of the work is completed in the canyons and in the tower. Remaining work includes the lower canyon, landing platforms, and interiors of tower base. In design are several cutscenes, new player and two AI skins, and possible new ship (exterior and interior). There is not yet a release date.
