Classic Traveller G00: Imperium
PER ASPERA AD ASTRA... To the Imperium which has ruled the stars for ages¸ the Terrans are the new barbarians¸ beating at the gates and vandalizing civilization. A common subject in science-fiction is that of vast interstellar empires in conflict; of rival star fleets engaged in blazing battle; of far-flung colonies and interstellar intrigue. Imperium is a new departure in science-fiction gaming and in the fictional treatment of this entire field. In lieu of a fixed story line (as in a novel or short story)¸ a framework of rules and information allows two players to pit themselves against each other¸ each attempting to better the other using strategic sense and tactical expertise. The basic story is already there¸ but the action and the ending are wide open; as players control their own empires¸ the full story is¸ in effect¸ written anew every time... In basic terms¸ Imperium is a science-fiction simulation game¸ presenting a future history situation involving starships¸ industry¸ troops and defenses in a campaign for supremacy among the stars."
