Realspace Saga

The Realspace Story

The Realspace saga is an epic battle between the terrans with thier United Fleet and the Katuri Empire. In the Earth year 2357 the terrans invaded the outer worlds of the Katuri Empire. It was their never ending thirst for expansion and belief that it's their manifest destiny to rule the galaxy that drove this.

They fully underestimated the strength and resolve of the Katuri. The Katuri Empire struck back by smashing through the terran frontier. Having destroyed all outlying outposts, somehow Apocalypse Outpost managed to stave off the Katuri onslaught.

On a second front, the Katuri had the United Fleet's 5th fleet and thier mighty dreadnoughts pinned down. In Antaris Realspace, the terrans managed to run a re-supply mission to the 5th fleet. With the fleet re-supplied and with the help of the Antaris, the United Fleet turned a desparate situation to victory.

The Katuri advance fell apart. With the Katuri forces smashed and scattered, the Terrans resumed their invasion of the Katuri worlds. With blood spilled the price just raised higher than simply the conquest of the Katuri outer worlds. They invaded the heart of the Katuri Empire and devastated all worlds that would not succumb.

Fleet Command saw thier chance to end the war and ordered the invasion of Sirius Prime, the Katuri homeworld. The United Fleet smashed through thier homeworld defenses. Ending the war wasn't good enough, showing thier true colors they used weapons of mass destruction against the Katuri homeworld to ensure their conquest under the guise of it saving lives on both sides by preventing a prolonged invasion. In a miracle maneuver, a wing of Katuri suicide bombers managed to drive off the invaders.

The very heart of the empire was in shambles and thier homeworld was smashed. In Realspace 2 - Emperor's Revenge the Katuri call upon the commander of the KFS Vengeance to re-group the Katuri forces, drive the terrans from their space, and take the ulitimate revenge by destroying the terran homeworld, the Earth!

The Apocalypse had come and the terrans had only themselves to blame as thier mighty war machine the United Fleet had failed. A place had to be found to make the terran's last stand. This was the only place the Katuri could never conquer. In Realspace 3 - Apocalypse Returns (next in the Realspace Saga) they return to Apocalypse Outpost.

Enigma at UCLA's Castle Falkenstein campaign

Selected pages from Enigma's Falkenstein site, 1998-1999

Castle Falkenstein is a role playing game set in the Victorian past of an alternate world, known as New Europa. This particular game takes place in Bavaria in the year 1872. As its basic premise, the game imagines that the best fantasy and speculative fiction of the Victorian Age -- the works of Verne, Wells, Grimm, Stevenson, Stoker, Conan Doyle, and Wilkie for example -- are true. Magic works, and magicians are debonair members of secret societies and lodges with arcane plans. The Wild Hunt of Faerie rides in moonlight in hussar's uniforms, and Faerie lords and ladies waltz gracefully at society balls. Dragons occasionally walk the streets as urbane gentlemen and discerning collectors of art. Dwarfs are skilled engineers and inventors who bring to life the fantastic machines of the age -- always on the lookout for a wealthy and influential patron to help them bring their ideas to fruition! Nemo and his Nautilus indeed prowl the seas, and Verne is France's Minister of Defense.
Nonetheless, social graces, a quick wit, a dazzling coiffure, or a smart uniform can frequently accomplish more in Society than a spell or a gadget. In this game, your appointment book can be as powerful as your spell book, and your rapier wit can do more damage than your blade!
