Description
Starfarers is a unique, real time strategy game cross with roleplaying elements. Players get to control not just a lone individual, but the destiny of an entire fledgling race as they try to make their mark out amongst the stars. Whether it be as conquering hordes or tight fingered economists, all and any is a viable strategy. But be careful, because more than just your fellow players may be waiting for you...

Applications
Applications should be submitted here or to the appropriate thread in the game forum. Character creation rules can also be found within, and are not in the least difficult to understand while at the same time allowing for thousands of possibilities. The only limitation is that players CANNOT base their race on any race from a pre-established setting. Originality counts.
