The Ocean Expanse

In a world akin to our own in the late 19th century, the British Empire dominates not only the sea, but also the skies with its air-ship fleet, modern broadcast technologies and vast armies Truly a realm where the sun never sets. But there are clouds on the fringes, heralding the coming storm. The colonies - from India to the American provinces are harder to control with every year... And those are not the only enemies.   A handful souls, soldiers, lowlifes and criminals to be sent to the colonies, get stranded at the shores of an unknown island. To survive, old hierarchies must fall, scarce resources must be used wisely and skills - maybe just hobbies of no importance back home, become crucial.   And when they finally manage to get in contact with the broadcasting network again... who will answer their call for help?
