 The story is set sometime into the future where humanity has spread throughout the stars. Much information has been lost in wars, including Earth's location and most of history. What matters is the last 30 or so years, which has seen the rise of the mighty Yamatai Star Empire and its various offshoots, which are faced with constant political and military conflicts. The story is set sometime into the future where humanity has spread throughout the stars.

 I love Science Fiction, I got hooked when I was a child watching the Original Star Trek when it was first aired. My loves for Sci-Fi lead me through forms, television shows, movies, and of course books. I started role-playing back in 1981, yes that's right. It was not long after that I found my first Sci-Fi RPG; which was [[WP>Traveller_(game)|Traveller]]®. Over the years I have played a wide variety of RPG's, but I always gravitate back to Sci-Fi. I joined Star Army three years ago after spending about a month checking out the site. I was intrigued by the community and found the amount of information available surprising. Since joining, I have contributed a lot of content to the site; I also help Wes with maintaining it. But more importantly I have made friends with a lot of people whom otherwise I would have never met. I love Science Fiction, I got hooked when I was a child watching the Original Star Trek when it was first aired.
