Orion’s Freight

Formerly Space Trader — buy low, sell high, dodge pirates, and bribe the law in a living, procedural universe.

Why you’ll love it

Orion’s Freight is a fast, top-down space-trader where every jump is a tiny heist. Skim between stations under shifting faction control, flip cargo for profit, and decide whether to fight, flee, trade, or bribe when trouble finds you. Upgrade your hauler from sputtering tin can to station-melter, gamble on contraband (if you’re brave), and make your money the honest way—or the fun way. Play entirely offline, save anytime, and chart your own pace.

Features

How it plays

Navigate via snappy 9-way movement across a grid of sectors—asteroids to dodge, pirates to outwit, patrols to placate. Prices shift with location and faction pressure, so routes matter. Smugglers chase margins; couriers chase safety. Either way, credits talk.
