Welcome to the Astra Initiative!

If you are reading this, you have elected to join, or, for Clan Ethetal's citizens, appointed by your Mystagogue, to serve in the highly esteemed exploration project, the Astra Initiative! Travel to distant galaxies, and explore! You will be appointed a base of operations in an unexplored galaxy, and as you scan for life, keep a look out for any signals of interest! You, and your team of fellow Astronomers, Exobiologists, Security Team, Etc, will scan the source of these signals to discover signs of life! This could range from anything, from the smallest bacteria, to entire alien civilizations! If it's a civilization, it is your duty to alert your nearest authorities so a first contact team can be sent out to, hopefully, make new friends! It is good to be wary however, threats lurk in every corner! Wildlife you encounter may be hostile, or even the civilizations! Remember to alert the nearest military base if you spot any pirate activity, hostile life, or any signs of the terrorist organization known as "The Order"

A shuttle will be sent to pick you up within the next week. Astra welcomes you to the Initiative! Be sure to listen to all advice on posters featuring the Initiative's Mascot, Astra the Bat. And remember, Glory to Gredaxia!
