Eve-Online is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game set in the future.  In this possible future, mankind and its greed have colonized the known universe, fueled by the ambitions of Mega-corps that war with each other over profits and resources.  It looked like a dark time for mankind, with civilization pushed to the far reaches of known space, when a natural wormhole was found to another Galaxy.  Brave explorers ventured forth, and began colonizing the new worlds, when suddenly the wormhole closed.  Nobody could find a way back, and millions died without a link to the other galaxy.  Over time, some did regain the capability to fly in space, and 4 main races arose.  The Gallente, Caldari, Minmitar, and Amarr each have different social/economic/military views, and have skirmishes, despite the Concorde governing presence that maintains order within the 'Empire' systems with police patrols.  Outside of the Empire, lawlessness presumes, as it is outside the reach of Concorde's forces.

Players earn ISK (Inter-Stellar-Kredits) for a myriad of things.  Mining, going on Missions for agents of a faction, building and selling items from minerals mined from asteroids (most of the items in the game are built by it's players), buying things at one station at a low price, and hauling them to a station with a better price for sale, shooting NPC's that have bounties placed on them, or freezing player ships in space and demanding a ransom or threaten to blow them up (also called piracy, which can only be done away from the watchful eyes of Concorde).

Line 16:

Your character's actions determine what he/she can do, and where they can go.  If you upset the police too much, they'll shoot you on sight.  If you upset players too much, they'll place bounties on your head and everyone will try to get you.  If you work hard and don't shoot indiscriminately at others, you'll develop a positive security status, and others will trust you.
