Background

or how this all came about

About twenty years ago, in the early 1970's, my younger brother, and a couple of our friends built a large modal of a space ship and based several aspects of its technology and historical background as a spoof takeoff of the Japanese space adventure cartoon Star Blazers along with adding several unique aspects of our own. The ship designs had some aspects of Star Blazers, such as the types and weapons and engines, but were still new designs in there own rite. There were also bits and pieces borrowed from Star Wars and over science fiction stories. Over the course of several months we acted out adventure with it and had it going on a journey to the edge of the universe, running into various obstacles along the way.

 That was all many years ago. However, last year, 1999, I came across a web site called TrekWars on which there is an on going story called the WarZone in which a group of different people from around the world are each controlling characters and/or races (from Star Wars, Star Trek, various other science fiction stories, computer games and ones completely made up by the person playing them) in an epic space saga. After watch this on going and developing story in the WarZone, I started thinking about a character or space going race that I could use if I decided to join into the story on the WarZone. While thinking about different options I decided to resurrect this ship (in a somewhat updated form) and the world that went with it (which included a number of other ship designs and a few space wars).

And that is how Capt. Strider, the MSC Experimentum and the Mobilian Republic come to be here (though these are new names).
