clipped from: www.orionsarm.com It is ten thousand years in the future. Civilization spans the stars, and humanity has branched into myriad directions. Godlike ascended intelligences personify and overshadow vast interstellar empires, while while lesser factions seek to craft their own dominions through colonization of the frontier and sometimes even intrigue and conquest. Trillions of sentient beings exist across billions of cubic light years - on the surface of planets, in giant orbital habitats, in domes and blueskies on moons and comets, and in space ships. But beyond the safety of the human-friendly worlds of the Civilized Galaxy, beyond the post-scarcity angelnetted nanotopias of limitless abundance and freedom from harm, adventure awaits those prepared to risk all.
Tired of old fashioned science fiction which is little more than today's (or yesterday's) world with space ships and ray guns? If so, the universe of Orion's Arm might be for you!
