Starhunter

The basic setting of the Starhunter setting is something of a "hodge-podge" of many sci-fi standards and cliches.  Starhunter is set in the Milky Way galaxy, in an area roughly 500 light year radius from Earth/Sol.  Numerous worlds, various races and many factions vie for control of Known Space.  Humans, vrusk, yazirians and dralasites all exist here, as do many other races - the saurian, militaristic alkharn, the caterpillar-like oduvu'urian scholars, the arthropoid kusokuri warriors, the avian, religious gengangi, and the bizarre plant-like gossaur.  The Confederated Commonwealth, the Bezherani Empire, the Eco-Tech Coalition, and the Ixuti Expanse are among the major powers in Known Space, each with their own agendas and varying levels of cooperation or hostility.  Plots center around conflicts with corporate interests versus citizens' rights, exploration versus exploitation, freedom versus tyranny, and ecology versus industry.  Influences include Star Trek, Firefly, Farscape and the 2300 AD game.  More to come...
