"Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind bogglingly big it is."
Narrator (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy)
"It can be a dangerous place..."
Commander Jeffrey Sinclair (Babylon 5)
"In the multitude of universes…
There are a myriad of galaxies…
But there is only one Galaxy Prime!"
James Shade (Epic Age Media)
HIGH LORD SHADE
Welcome back, my disciple. Have you considered our previous lesson?
DISCIPLE
Yes, master! But I wish to know more of this far away place you spoke of.
HIGH LORD SHADE
Ah, you speak of Galaxy Prime! Yes, it is a wondrous place I have seen. But it is very distant. So distant that one cannot physically travel there by any mortal means.
DISCIPLE
Then how can a lowly servant such as I share in this experience?
HIGH LORD SHADE
In my infinite wisdom I have devised an interactive simulation so that others may come to know this place and live a virtual life through some of its more notable inhabitants.
DISCIPLE
You refer to a roleplaying game!
HIGH LORD SHADE
Indeed. And the possibilities are endless. Presently there are three dozen races that you may emulate.
DISCIPLE
Who will I meet?
HIGH LORD SHADE
Nearly four score sentient alien species are there for you to encounter, as well as five dozen fascinating xenomorphs.
DISCIPLE
Xenomorphs?
HIGH LORD SHADE
Non-sentient lifeforms.
DISCIPLE
I see. But what will I do?
HIGH LORD SHADE
Anything you desire. There are fourteen different occupations to try your hand at. You may wish to aid people as a medic, diplomat or clergyman. Or if you are feeling aggressive you might even attempt to succeed as a bounty hunter, mercenary or lawman.
DISCIPLE
Intriguing. But where will I go?
HIGH LORD SHADE
There are twelve massive sectors to explore. Galaxy Prime has hundreds of known planets and other features to investigate. But stay away from Sector Gamma Four.
DISCIPLE
Why? What will I find there?
HIGH LORD SHADE
Nothing. Blackness. The entire sector has been enveloped by some unknown entity called the Mordas.
DISCIPLE
The entire sector?!
HIGH LORD SHADE
Yes, as foretold in the Kinet prophecy.
DISCIPLE
Who are the Kinet?
HIGH LORD SHADE
A group of mystics that wield great power. Many races comprise the Kinet. If you are truly lucky you may be allowed to experience their noble struggle to banish the Mordas and return balance to Galaxy Prime.
DISCIPLE
That sounds like a daunting task. I may not be worthy.
HIGH LORD SHADE
We shall see. For now, perhaps you should concern yourself with the more quantifiable aspects of Galaxy Prime.
DISCIPLE
Such as?
HIGH LORD SHADE
Cyberware, mutations, piloting starships...
DISCIPLE
You are most wise, master. You know my inner heart. I have always wanted to sail through the stars, command a fleet and prevail against the forces of tyranny!
HIGH LORD SHADE
And so you shall, my child.
