* EnemyMine: As the Scavengers become more threatening, other races who used to attack you on sight will instead start to see things your way.
* InformedAbility: Some of the crew members are supposed to be incredibly powerful psychics, geniuses, star athletes, etc., but this only translates to slightly different starting stats.

Earth is in such terrible shape that to speak of its name is blasphemy. Mars became the new homeworld of humanity. Eventually, a theocracy arose led by the fanatical Ttek Priests. Synths and constructs replaced humans as the main work force, and were suppressed in the Purgation Trials. Synth-sympathizers were charged with any crime that would stick in court. In response, a liberal movement arose, calling themselves the Ironseed Movement, and gathered up a motley bunch of dissidents. The ultimate goal of this movement was to seed other worlds with human life - liberal minds.
They built a ship named the Ironseed and the player chose six individuals to crew it. In order to conserve resources, the crew were stripped of their flesh and encoded into ego-synths controlling the various functions of the Ironseed. The ship was launched, drifted for a very long time (on the order of thousands or even millions of years), and found itself at a planet with a beacon of alien origin. As the Ironseed followed what little evidence of sentient life it could find, it became entangled in a rather interesting take on the SpaceOpera genre...
