How do I get involved?
You can start your own role-play by posting in any of our planetary channels (they are all in-character), and others will likely join in to role-play with you.

Most importantly, don't be shy. If you want in on something, let us know and we will write you into the scene, or help you craft your own.

How is experience and credits awarded?
Any "encounter" (defined as a situation anywhere, any time that requires initiative for combat or a skill check that contributes to the story) will award you experience. Combat will award you significantly more experience than a social setting. You can also earn bonus experience with great writing quality and creativity.

Credits are awarded when it's reasonable to do so.
