The Pirates hire the player, who is not one of them (ruling player-not-a-pirate);
the base Longinus with its default fit is the start hull (ruling
demo-start-hull-longinus). The hull is named in the script; StartingHull no
longer owns the demo's hull. The Pirates-hull test is replaced by one pinning
the Longinus, its Alakrita maker, a null ship faction and the origin.

DemoTerminus generates a prelude galaxy of the Pirates, Zhestokost, Lucent Media
and Aeronautics Unlimited with no quest faction, places the gate at the
antagonist's home (Galaxy.PlaceGate: boss zone and exit), and stages the player
in a Pirates hull with the cast's standing. The prelude constructor resolves
every cast name through one refusal that names the field, and places a quest
zone only when a quest faction is named. Release builds list only the demo; the
tutorial and main galaxies join the test arenas in editor and development builds.

A Scenario is an abstract C# class compiled with the game: Generate picks the galaxy through GalaxyStage (Main or
Prelude, at the scenario's seed, the background noise drawn from the same seed), Stage places the run's first
entities through ScenarioStage (Fit, Bare, Generated, Preset, Player, Place, Cargo), which collects named failures
and admits nothing. RunStart generates the galaxy, the arena under Ambient and admits everything through Zone.Admit,
all or nothing. The aetheria.scenario record, ScenarioShip, ScenarioEntity, RunStart.Check and the null-scenario
branch are cut.
New Game opens a submenu: Tutorial Galaxy and Main Galaxy, then (editor and development builds) Djinni Shakedown,
Starved Reactor, Arcs, Duel, Launcher Angles and Long Haul, each with its brief. MainMenu.Launch is the one way into a
new run; ActionGameManager.PendingScenario carries the scenario to StartGame once.
