It is first an original universe defined by many of the same themes and ideas that have made science fiction a diverse and popular genre in both fiction and gaming.

It is also a game system, utilizing multiple game engines in order to bring the Astral Empires setting to life.

It is a shared world open to anyone who desires to see their own unique visions of the future come to life.

What is Lightspeed?

Lightspeed is a Role-Playing Game set in the Galaxy of the 27th Century, a time known as the Interstellar Era. The Interstellar Era is a time of exploration and adventure. The conflicts of the Core Wars are over and the Galaxy is at peace, though old animosities simmer below the surface and new rivalries threaten to flare into conflict.

The Galaxy of the Interstellar Era is vast and its possibilities are limitless. In this game, the players, with the help of a sort of referee/director called a Gamemaster, craft a story of epic proportions. The players experience the promise and peril of the story vicariously by controlling the actions and desires of a character that they, themselves, create.
