[Enigma]

Game description
The great star empire of the galaxy has collapsed. The vast melting pot of its people has cracked along racial lines leaving in its wake a disparate group of planetary empires controlled by petty warlords, feckless politicians, fallen nobility, and civilian commonwealths. From the chaos rise rulers to lead the remants of theses races who now seek to reclaim the past glories of the once great empire.

A mystical force that all races regard with a religious fervor still governs the vastness of the galaxy and imposes it will on any empire that catpults too many objects into space. Some say it is the etherial presence of the last great emperor, but most agree it is a force not to be trifled with.

All players are welcome but experienced players are prefered (DevNull exp. a bonus) but newbies may play at their own risk. This game targetted to remove the unbalanced or unfun aspects of the game and emphasize role-playing, diplomacy and nation building with all the usual brutal space combat. Players committed to sticking it out even in a bad situation are prefered.
