New Genesis
Heres the idea: This tread is not supposed to be a co-op with a direct story line, but rather a collection of short intertwined stories the revolve around a central conflict. You can build on what other have said, or start a new story from scratch. They can be long, or short, funny or serious, you get the idea.
The conflict:
Lets say 10 years ago a group of rich Itanis decide to claim a cold rock out in grey and terraform it, i picked Itanis because they are supposed to be the best at that kinda stuff. Any way, the idea is to sell off the new real-estate and make it big. But, investment groups buy up almost all the property before the terraforming is complete. Things get heated and since it's in grey no one is there to regulate. There is a large land control war going on, mostly guerilla stuff. Well the rock won't take to the terraforming, probably because the fighting keeps shutting down the equipment and the like. The project is abandoned and only the original Itani investment group makes it out with a profit.
The rest is up to y'all.
Here is my quick take on it, enjoy, add.

The Long Road Ahead
Lawrence was a young space pilot picked fresh from sunny Eo. He had been on a few trading runs with some of his buddies on the off period, but this was his big ticket, his chance to make bank. His life savings were poured into this Atlas, he wanted the mk II but resources had run a little thin. The best he could do was a tube of screamers and a used HX. Here’s hoping for no pirates. He was part of a huge convoy heading to New Genesis, they had with them enough supplies to start an entire civilization. That was the idea, wasn’t it? Some deep pocketed Itani’s got together and purchased all the terraforming equipment in all the universe it seemed. The idea was to turn some rotten rock into a paradise and sell it off bit by bit. Crazy thing was investment groups have already purchased over half the planet, and it’s still frozen solid! People are crazy thought Lawrence as he formed up with the rest of the 148 members of the convoy heading deep into grey space. He hoped he could get back before classes started again, this was supposed to help pay for school, not make him go longer.
“Why the hell did I have to jump in with the slow group?” thought Lawrence as he was assigned his grouping. “They are all moths, so damn slow! My Atlas can run circles around these guys” This was going to be a long trip. “For crying out loud, come on!” His train of though was interrupted by the beep in his comm, “Umm… Lawrence we can all here you, are you monologueing?”
“Ah, hell, was that out loud?”
“Lets keep this channel clear just incase there is an emergency, ok?”
“Yeah, fine. Must have had my foot on the..."
This was going to be a long trip indeed.
