If you don’t have money, then you will vegetate on your planet until the end of your days. Well, or you can try your luck - go to war with strangers. Maybe you'll be lucky and come back. Maybe even whole. Or go to the colonists. If you don’t perish in the first months, you will become a respected person in the new, developing world. Well, if you still have some money, find an old trough, mistakenly called a spaceship, and go on an adventure. Welcome to the prospectors!
