- “I had never participated in any sort of RP before, but the gritty realism and massive context of worlds like Warhammer 40k had always intrigued me, precisely because of that expansiveness. But finding a community which itself was creating that content, expanding the universe on its own rather than via professional writers, was incredible. Well, **it was incredible enough to convince me to give RPing a shot**, something I'm very thankful for." | - “I had never participated in any sort of RP before, but the gritty realism and massive context of worlds like Warhammer 40k had always intrigued me, precisely because of that expansiveness.

Star Army is my passion. Growing up I became fan of science fiction through reading books and watching Star Trek. When I was in high school I was introduced to anime and roleplaying games and started running games with my friends and family. In 2000, I ventured into the world of online roleplaying and web design and created a character that became the seed of the Star Army universe. By 2003, the community around that universe had grown to the point we needed our own website, so I created StarArmy.com.
