Space Rangers — the game takes place in space, in the distant future, at the beginning of the 31st century. The galaxy is inhabited by 5 intelligent civilizations: the Maloks, the Bearings, the Humans, the Faeans, and the Gaalians. All races are part of a single Galactic Commonwealth, which has a single time calculation and a single currency — galactic credit. There is also a race of aggressors — the Klisans. Due to the Klissan invasions, conflicts and wars between races are prohibited, however, in the game world, attacks by space pirates on peaceful ships are not uncommon. The main habitat of pirates is hyperspace, and the pirate organization also plays a big role in the ending of the game.
