Moon Zero Two

The story unfolds in May 2021, during a lunar colonization boom that draws a diverse population of prospectors and businessmen. Resource competition and corporate influence shape daily life, as new settlements push further into the Moon's frontier. The era is defined by daring missions, mining claims, and the tension between exploration and control.

Moon City sits on the Moon's near side as a growing hub for settlers and space entrepreneurs. The lunar farside hosts Spectacle Crater and distant mining outposts, forming a rough-and-tumble backdrop for exploration and resource extraction. The setting blends stark cratered terrain with high-tech operations that enable salvage, transport, and risky ventures.

💰 Greed

Hubbard's plan to profit from a sapphire asteroid drives much of the conflict, including coercion and threats. Wealth becomes a key motivator that blurs ethics and escalates danger in the pursuit of control over resources. The narrative ties personal ambition to broader schemes of exploitation on the Moon.

🚀 Frontier Spirit

Lunar exploration and mining embody the frontier ethos, with Kemp as a former astronaut navigating risky missions for salvage and opportunity. Clementine's quest to locate her brother and secure a claim shows how personal stakes intersect with large-scale ventures. The harsh lunar landscape tests ingenuity, resilience, and courage.

⚖️ Law & Survival

Space Corporation law clashes with opportunism on the Moon, shaping who can claim what and under which conditions. Kemp faces license pressure while Hubbard manipulates the system to protect his interests. The resolution shifts the balance toward rightful ownership, highlighting the strain between legality and survival in a lawless frontier.
