A totally SPACED adventure! ...You have to be there to see it.
In the not too distant future, where by far the most precious commodity in the galaxy is water.

The galaxy is ruled by an evil emperor presiding over a trade oligarchy that controls all mining and sale of ice from asteroids and comets.
Genres: science fiction, action, adventure, comedy. Themes: rebel, space war, distant future, water shortage, space western, space pirate.
