It's a tiny bit entrepreneur-brained, but seems pretty cool regardless. You can choose several paths, from passenger transportation to cargo to piracy to mercenary work. Lots of user contributed lore and all sorts of shit going on. You start with a small ship and an odious loan and try to build up an entire fleet. I've only scratched the surface so far, but it seems like a pretty neat rabbit hole.

    When you find James, he's standing by a window, looking out at the city, watching the starships taking off and landing in a continuous stream. "This is it," he says, "where our race began. The world that all the tourists want to visit, and that no one wants to live on. Twenty billion people, more industry and exports than any other place in the galaxy. But underneath it all, poverty of a completely different sort from what you've got in the Dirt Belt."

      Today, throughout human space, is Remembrance day the anniversary of the beginning of the Alpha Wars more than five centuries ago. The Alphas were genetically engineered soldiers, with superhuman agility and intelligence, and a complete lack of compassion or empathy. At the height of the War, dozens of planets had been enslaved by the Alphas.

      Remembrance Day commemorates the beginning of the war, rather than its end, as a perpetual reminder that the war is not over: although the Alphas were defeated, some of them escaped and remained in hiding, and they and their offspring are presumed to still be present in the galaxy today.
