It was a time of cowboys. It was a time… of Space. For the first and only time in human history, someone realized that there were some fun parallels between the American frontier of the 1800’s and the near-future frontier of planetary colonization.

At the line between law and order, where the criminal and the hero can be one in the same, the intergalactic tumbleweeds whisper a single question: Is Firefly SHINY… or is it HEINIE?
