The year is 2320.
Earth is a scarred world, the result of wars and climate damage over centuries, and yet it lives on, and it has spread its reach among the stars. Under the blue, gold and white of the United Earth flag, colonies have spread across stars that a scant few hundred years ago seemed unreachably distant, and humanity's frontier grows ever further from its cradle. Throughout human space, corporations have grown, competed, conflicted with one another for the vast resources of the new frontier, as United Earth itself has fought to retain dominance over humanity.
As they expanded, humans eventually found that they were not alone. Out in the furthest reaches of the frontier, humanity vies for territory, resources and power with other alien powers, notably the nearby Andorian Empire. But most notable are not these, but the aliens living inside humanity's own borders
Close, very close, to humanity's homeworld, lie the systems of a race they call the Lacertoj. A young, scaly reptiloid species, the Lacertoj had only colonized a few scant systems before they were overrun in the initial wave of human expansion after the Third World War and the advent of FTL, a couple hundred years ago. Their space is now a small enclave within humanity's core territory, their economy and defense dependent on Earth's.
And then... there is magic. Magic, which pervades human space, pushing against and breaking the very laws of reality in small ways every single day. Which is hidden from the public even as it affects so much of the world around them. The spektroj, creatures born of negative emotion, lurk throughout space, preying on people and ships, causing anomalies and disappearances and inexplicable events. The konatoj, mysterious creatures that seem to follow wherever humanity goes, invisible to most, seek out heroines to battle this menace. These are the mages, magical warriors that battle against the spektroj and protect the innocent.
In the midst of all of this, a space station floats among the asteroids of a star 40 light years from Sol. KomenCo Outpost 17, a mining and trading station home to several thousand people, orbits 285 G. Puppis and provides trade and resources to a large swathe of colonies in the distant frontier. In this busy port, a small creature wanders, the corridors, searching...

Welcome to Stargucas, a game of adventure and heroics by @Gadjo and myself. (Revised) charsheets are here, mechanics changes are here. Your characters will be brand new mages aboard the station when they're recruited. There'll be a few weeks time while we plan the game for you to create and finish your characters, and then this will finally begin!
