"We're tired of being taken advantage of in this soul-crushing galaxy.
The mega corps get relief funds. We get to work the relief shifts.
They report record profits. We report record hours.
Now we are free.
Now we will report our own record profits.
Right from the coffers of the corps."

A Suit For Every Story
Within the C22 system, each suit in your deck relates to a particular skill and attribute to your character. Like other deck-building systems, optimizing your character skills in combination with the cards in your deck will be an ongoing task as you progress through your adventure.
For example, if you want to evolve your character into a sneaky, high DPS sword master, you will want to optimize your deck around Diamonds and Spades. As you level, you will remove some of the hearts and clubs to replace them with diamonds and spades, thus forever altering your character’s luck.
Creative Magic/Powers
The Magic and Power system, allow you to craft your own spells and abilities. Using the styles you create and spending energy to add on effects, you can create a spell that is unique to each situation. The more effects added, the more the spell will do.

Between Missions, upgrade your ship, buy new gear, and increase your chances of survival in this megacorp ruled galaxy.
