Some time ago, a group of saurians managed to hijack an Empire dreadnought class starship. Naming it the "Void Dirge", it's think armor and powerful armaments aided the outlaws onboard in raiding countless outposts and trading vessels over the years.
The captain, the self proclaimed Queen Okama rules with an iron fist and an insatiable lust for glory and plunder. Her crew is still primarily saurian, but many morally flexible outlaws of other alien races have joined in, enamored by the promise of riches and lack of laws to stop them from pursuing their darker desires.
For captured humans, there is a slight saving grace. The Void Dirge's community (if one dare call it so) is strongly merit based. As long as one proves themselves useful, regardless of species, they will find a place in the crew, maybe even prosper. But if not... they can serve the crew in other ways: as ransom, or in the worse cases, entertainment or as a meal.
You are one such captured human. Mere days ago your small merchant vessel found itself in the Void Dirge's tractor beam. You and the rest of the crew were forced off your ship and imprisoned. When the giant marauder's attention came upon you, you were judged:
1. Useful - Congratulations, you get to continue living for now.
2. Useless - Your days are numbered. Try to enjoy what little time you have left, a seemingly impossible proposition considering to whom your life belongs...
