We were out on the edge of the DarkStart23 empire, a border riding member of the Impalers Alliance. Not a single one of the three of us crewing the D.S.S. Jawz were in good spirits. While not the oldest of ships, our recycler was not exactly running grand. It was in fact a quilt of patch-up jobs and…Continue Reading »
In the early years of 5057 there was an empire that was based in the nork nebula sector on a planet called Shanlan. They were just discovering galatacial travel with a machine called a jump gate, This Jump Gate allowed sudden transportation to other galaxy’s. Other empires heard of this machine and couldn’t believe what they were hearing some sent scouts out to see this machine for themselves and once they saw it they had to have it so they started making purchases of this machine but the Golahn federation didn’t quite approve of this machine. You see at the time the Golahn federation (T.G.F) controlled most of the universe. They really didn’t want this machine to even exist...

JOURNAL OF SAMUEL T. ZUCKERMAN
Man, that sounds so lame. Nobody calls me “Samuel” except my Mom. And I haven’t kept a journal since I was a kid and even then I didn’t do it for very long. But with all that’s happened since the Drekons arrived, I felt I’d better keep some sort of record. I’ll start with today and see where this goes. It’ll give me something to do anyway.
OCCUPATION OF CESTUS III, DAY 20
The title sums it up, we’re living (if you can call it that) under occupation. The Drekons arrived just about 3 weeks ago and things have gone downhill fast. Best estimates are that over a million died the night of the invasion in New Liberty alone. And it didn’t end there.…Continue Reading »

I am happy to announce that we have now successfully moved Astro Empires severs to the new datacenter located at Paris. Better servers and direct connection to main international lines, resulting in an improved performance.…Continue Reading »
Mike looked at his watch. The seconds ticked away agonisingly slowly. He checked his escape routes. All around him were enemies, he was completely surrounded. Almost every conceivable exit was a death trap. To escape, this would be about timing. He looked at his watch again. Soon.
He visualised the move, if he started too early his enemies would see where he was going and react. If he left it too late, he might miss his window of opportunity. Get ready. Check where everyone is, and where they are going. Focus.
Five…Four…Three…Two…“MIKE! Wake up!”…Continue Reading »
