There are a few inspirations for this game I'd like to acknowledge.

Steve Jackson Games and their excellent GURPS supplement, Space.

Another science fiction wargame Full Thrust.

The Roleplaying Game 2300AD, by Game Designers Workshop, now sadly out of print.

Last but not least, Starfire.

Many of the physics ideas and concepts in this campaign are taken from the game Starfire, which is Copyright 1997-2002 Starfire Design Studio. These physics ideas and concepts are used with the permission of the Starfire Design Studio and Marvin R Lamb. Further information about Starfire available at:

I'd personally like to thank Marvin Lamb for coming out with one of the best wargames around, and for allowing me to use the ideas from Starfire for my game. If you like wargames, you need to get Starfire!

These are the ones I can think of right now. If I think of others, I'll add them. In truth, there are many more inspirations for this campaign, but the ones above were foremost in my mind during the conception and subsequent development.
