Editing Contempt of Death (section)

==New Horizons==

The characters are in the employ of New Horizons, a powerful and rather famous company helmed by a group of adventure capitalists. They made quite a stir a few years back, fighting rebels and making first contact with the Koilians, and are also rumored to have something to do with Delann's acquisition of spike drive tech. Tremendously popular with the people, but not always on the same page as the Authority, New Horizons decided to follow rebel star charts to a new sector and have founded a colony there. Shenanigans with an alien artifact gave them a complete map of this new sector, but issues in Wyrm have the attention of the leadership, and they've elected to send a new crew out to explore, trade and establish diplomatic contact with the locals.
