63 worlds throughout the Cluster participate in the Accord. Each planet has its own government and legal system, with the Assembly enforcing the agreed upon rules of commerce and travel between them, and in open space. A 64th planet serves as a neutral central body or trade and inter-world law, and home of the Accordance Fleet and the Cluster Partol.
Per the Accord, anyone may hire a trained, elite member or team of members of empowered agents for hire who bear the power of Law and the guarantees of Bond.
Some teams are the Good Guys, some are mercenary, some are thugs who nonetheless uphold the Accords. Like the Freelancers of old, except their services are never free. When help is needed, when there is a job to be done, The Contract is the Covenant. Contact the Lancers.

I am a very rules lite, "System Kinda Matters, But Rules Need To Shut Up When Awesome Is Happening" GM. That does not mean this is a full sandbox, just that there is a lot of room inside the fairly loose scenarios prepared for players to do their thing.
Players will design many aspects on their own. Alien Races, planetary cultures, etc, can be submitted as part of the setting and I will work them in.
Tone will be kept in the areas noted above as inspirations. This team of Lancers are the Good Guys, at least as much as Din Djarin or Mal Reynolds. Team callsign, ship design, etc, will be communally considered before the start of play.
It will be decided as a group whether you want me to offer you Contracts to choose from, or assign them on "Current episode" basis.
My GM style is cinematic and cooperative, with a lot of Yes, AND! and Yes, BUT! style improv amid the group encouraged. Expect puns and humor and some silliness/cheesiness amidst the action, adventure, and drama.

When creating Aspects and Stunts, please make sure they go together. Here is a sample Patrol Officer sheet to show what I mean.

Aislinn "Ace" Comstock
Refresh: 3.
High Concept: 3rd Generation Galactic Hero, Junior Grade
Trouble: I'm A Comstock. It may as well be spelled "Trouble".
Approaches:
+3 Clever
+2 Quick, Sneaky
+1 Flashy, Forceful
+0 Careful
Aspects:
I Have A Buddy There.
Stunt: I know a guy.
Because I have a buddy there, once per game session I can find a helpful ally in
just the right place.
I Could Tell You, But I'd Have To Space You.
Stunt: Read In.
Because I could tell you but I'd have to space you, once per session I can create
an Advantage related to classified intel about a person or situation in which I am
involved.
In Her Shadow.
Stunt: Watch out for the little ones.
Because I am In Her Shadow, I get a +2 in combat when negatively or dismissively
compared to more senior members of my famous family.. Especially big sister Kitt.
