Across The Stars

In the year 5367 IR, humanity is well established throughout the galaxy. It has been 
over twenty thousand years since the Zal'tacs passed through our solar system, trading 
their technology for our food and resources. Lucius Winterson, the Eurmerican ambassador 
delegated to greet the aliens, was so successful in his mission that the eventually 
became Earth's sole representative on the Zal'tac Council. In return, he acquired 
personal technology that has kept him alive throughout the millennia. 
In Across The Stars, you serve the Xulthe'en Empire aboard a deep-space transport. 
Adjusting to your lifestyle aboard the ship hasn't been easy though, your berth is small 
and cramped and the twelve-and-a-half-hour shifts are long. The Captain even gave you an 
extra week of duty for not having your uniform property squared away. In a place this 
small, you're beginning to wonder if you have what it takes to serve the Empire. 

Set off on a new adventure, as you travel Across The Stars.
