Editing Savage Rifts -Phase World Adventures! (section)

== Backstory of the Game and Setting ==
The basic game setting is that the heroes have recently acquired a ship from mercenary '''Splugorth Slavers''' - a Kittani built techno-wizard ''Kraken-class'' raider called ''''the Wraith''''. With their prize ship the heroes have become hero/mercs for the '''United Worlds of Warlocks''' and heading to one of the colonies in the '''Thundercloud Galaxy''' to help against more '''''Splugoth''''' slavers and a possible Death Cult(s) dedicated to one of the Elder Races that was suppose to be from this region. 

The UWW only has a few dozen colonies in the '''''Thundercloud Galaxy''''' clustered along the '''Gaelra Outer Arm''' on the 'eastern' end of the galactic core, with their main port of call '''Gateway Prime''', the system that contains the ''Star Gate Portal'' which allows almost instant teleportation between the '''Thundercloud''' and '''Corkscrew Galaxies''' and another important port of call in the UWW.

The other important governments of the Thundercloud Galaxy include... 
:The '''CCW'''
:The '''K'''
:The '''Splugorth Kingdom of Desslyth''' controls only a few dozen worlds and whom raid a number of the governments around them for slaves, loot and new markets for their vile trades, etc. 
:The '''Bushi Federation''' whom are elitists and isolationist but whom also have some of the most advance technology in the Thundercloud, rivaling even the CCW in some fields. 
:The '''Denlech Settlers''' who are not so much major players in the Thundercloud Galaxy as a monkey wrench. They are quickly becoming the poster child for what’s wrong with the unchecked greed and imperialism. There are a number of smaller groups but none as important as these.
