Dead Orbit

Sphacteria is a small island in southern Greece, located near the bay of Pylos in the Peloponnese. It’s famous for being the site of a bloody battle between Athenians and Spartans in 425 BC.

But this is the year 2295, and you are neither Athenians nor Spartans. Nor are you heroes.

Yes, you guessed it — this is a shitty job, with no career prospects and as boring as death. The only perks of working in a stretch of space that feels like the asshole of the universe are that the pay is good and the headaches are few...
