Have players (four). Have characters (also four :) ). Have a group which is nominally tied together with more rationale than many I've seen. Ex-military bar buddies, mustered out at the end of their respective tours of duty and drifted back together. Two flyboys, a tech and a groundhugger.
After some prodding , the group seems to have decided to start out as interstellar truckers (one Galaxy-class merchant vessel with one (souped up) Demon light fighter and one Centurion heavy fighter flying escort). Planet Helen in the Troy system has been selected as the starting point. Next week as the game starts they try to persuade the Merchant's Guild to give them a cargo run :)
