Overview

Introduction
Star Romance is a Space Opera roleplaying game set in a golden age of our future.

This roleplay takes aestetic hints from retro / 80's scifi artists like John Berkey, Drew Struzan, and Leiji Matsumoto.

Our goal is to create and tell compelling stories in a large and original scifi universe that expands as we do.

Inspirations
Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Battlestar (modern and old), Star Trek, Galaxy Express 999, Heavy Metal (film), Dune, Ender's Game, Old Man's War, Star Wars, etc. If you need to get excited, we have an "inspirations" page to get you in the mood!

Note
This page is designed to give you a very brief overview of all the topics you will need to know about on this site. It will not cover every detail but will cover enough to get you started.

The Accord and the Eufrem
It is in the far future of our own world. Humanity has forged an alliance with a sleightly more advanced, but friendly, race of aliens known as the Eufrem. Collectivly they are called "The Accord". Though the Eufrem were the first alien species we meet we have since meet other threats that we must face.

The Spaceforce and the Rangers
We are protected by two major groups- the mighty and disciplined Accord Spaceforce and the covert group of individualist known as Rangers. Spaceforce officers, galant and true, command megalithic ships and inspire others with their leadership while Rangers are well-trained killing machines who will stop at nothing to protect humanity.

Threats
Though the Accord is mighty there are still threats out there. Renegade spliters of humanity commanding great pirate fleets, rogue worlds not under the command of the Accord, and even the rare Eufrem battle group unsatisfied with the current deal threaten the Accord at every turn. Add to that the threat of aliens like the vampire-like Vox, the sinister and unseen Kresh, and the roaving hoards of the gene-plagued. This last group, humans who have been infected by the gene plague, have their bodies and minds warped so that they resemble great man-beast hybrids with an overwhelming urge to kill.

Earth & Technomages
The nations of Earth itself still retain their national idendity but serve under a strong United Nations. A powerful upper caste of mega-rich famlies control (and jellously guard) the knowledge and facilities needed to transport great numbers of ships vast distances across space. They are known as "technomages" for their seemingly magical understanding of alien technology and exotic concepts that make it possible.
