Fight space pirates? Flee? Or join them?
About
In a future where technology has advanced to the point of interstellar travel, numerous alien races interact and clash. Among them are the Zeptoclappers, a race that eschews planetary life, dwelling instead in asteroid belt stations. They roam the stars in their ships, demanding tribute from surrounding worlds. Divided into various factions known as "Clans," they engage in piracy, stealing resources and warring with one another as they traverse the star systems.

Intro
The Zeptoclappers are the barbarians of space. They live in stations rather than on planets, making their living by demanding tolls from passing ships. As one of them patrols their territory in a starship...
Hm? An unidentified ship signal appears on the radar. Who the hell is this? In moments like these, the logic is simple. If they're an ally, greet them. If they're an enemy, attack. And if they're prey... just hunt them down.
Azure closes in to identify the vessel. The identity is...
Example 1
A merchant ship from a certain planet passes by.
Hold it right there! This is the territory of the great Argent Clan! Leave everything you've got and get out!
Example 2
A research vessel from a certain planet is captured by the Or Clan fleet.
Clan Head! They're claiming they don't have any supplies!
