This book provides an incredibly rich setting for human exploration of star systems relatively close to Earth made possible by massive corporations searching for profits and raw materials while consuming the hardworking lives of countless technicians, explorers, and agents. Although outerspace is mostly void, HOSTILE describes a universe filled with heavy machinery, grease, and blood. It intentionally offers a retro (1980s) SF vison, but players and GM interested in an updated (but equally dark) vision could add certain technologies (e.g. widespread wireless access) according to their preferences.
